Membership
Introduction to members
A warm welcome to Stowmarket Table Tennis Club
We are registered as a Premier Club by Table Tennis England. Our club promotes the sport of table tennis for all ages and abilities, so we are always pleased to meet new or visiting players.
Our wide membership includes players between the ages of 8 and 80. Some join to improve their general fitness and skills, some love the social aspects of membership in our friendly environment.
For new adult players or those returning to the sport and seeking more of a challenge, we have several teams competing in the local leagues. We also provide the opportunity for adult coaching on a regular basis.
For younger players our qualified coaches provide weekly training through most of the school year. These boys and girls are encouraged to play in local competitions and some have gone on to be county champions and to compete at national level.
You can find lots of information about the club and how we are run on this website. If you are interested in coming along, please get in touch to confirm which would be the most appropriate session. All first sessions are free, so come and give us a try.

New Club Shirts
The new club shirts, pale blue with discrete white and red flashes are now available to order. Please speak to a committee member at a session or via the contact page.
A number of members had expressed an interest in getting a Stowmarket club shirt.
We have therefore negotiated a potential deal with Bribar, our main equipment supplier.
It their Joola Blue Milan shirt for £14.50 each, plus £4.00 for printing our club name on the back. This is a £3.00 discount on their catalog price.
This used to be an expensive shirt, now offered at a significant reduction. We have just purchased some for the Suffolk senior county team and are very pleased with them.
