World class facilities
The clubrooms are set up so you can just turn up and play your best.
Most people notice the tables and the lighting first, but the thing that matters most is under your feet. Our playing floor is a Gerflor Taraflex sports floor, one of the most highly regarded synthetic sports floors in the world, and the same surface used at international table tennis events and the Olympic Games.
A great floor changes everything about movement and fatigue. Taraflex is easy on knees and joints, so you can play longer and feel better afterwards. It is arguably the club's biggest hidden advantage.
- Olympic grade floor
Gerflor Taraflex playing surface - 8 tables
Italian made competition tables - Air conditioning
