Worthing Table Tennis Club, based across Worthing High and Thomas a Beckett schools, has been recognised with a national award by Table Tennis England – and is now Club of the Year.

This is following their hard work to develop young players, inclusivity to all and connections to the local community.

South of England Area manager for Table Tennis England, Alan Lane, pictured, visited the club to present the award to a crowd of players during their busy Saturday schedule, which provides a range of table tennis sessions for Under-13s, Over-50s and an accessible session for those with a disability.
