We were thinking of fun things to do with our neighbours, and the idea of ping-pong or table tennis came up.
If you have a spare table, could we use it? We think we could fit two of them in the field house and store them away in the back room between sessions.
A ping-pong club could work, if there’s enough interest. There already is an Ottawa wide club, universities, the RA Centre, and the larger community centres have tables.
Perhaps the city could build us an outdoor table, but that would need to be tough enough to survive winter and vandals, and thus be very expensive! Some do exist, this is one in Optomiste Park in Vanier.
So, any interest in a ping-pong club and are there any spare tables? If you want to play or have a table, please drop a note to chparkevents@yahoo.com or come to the next games night to talk with the rest of us.

We have a ping pong table, nets and paddles which we are happy to donate to the Fieldhouse – we will need help getting it there. It is quite heavy.
