From Thursday, October 3rd, 2024, social table tennis will take place from 6.00 to 7.00, each Thursday, in the Burton Memorial Hall. These sessions are for adult players who do not currently want to play competitively but would instead like to play socially, make friends, meet people, have fun and if desired, improve their table tennis. Burton Table Tennis Club has 2 qualified coaches, Martin Wakelin and myself. I will be running the sessions on the night, supported by Martin, and either one or both of us will be available to provide in-session coaching for anyone who is interested in improving. The charge for each session will be £3 and the sessions will run every Thursday until May 22nd, 2025, other than on bank holidays etc. We will be managing the number of attendees to make sure that everyone gets sufficient table time so anyone interested should contact me on 07814 029471 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Help is also available if you get stuck / as needed with a pattern or technique.
4th December 2021: We've known Alan Hubbard for a long time, he's a near neighbour of ours, so when we heard that he has written his life story, "I'm Alan Hubbard, who are you?" we felt he deserves a mention on BurtonWeb News. The book is a chunky tome: some 337 pages, and is peppered with an assortment of colour and black and white photographs illustrating Alan's life.
