Ping Pong at the Forbes

So, Ping Pong is on tonight at the Forbes.
Not quite sure what level we are on, and not quite sure who will be turning up.

But Pong is on, and that's what matters.

Viva la Pong!!!

Everything you wanted to know about Table Tennis but were afraid to ask...

There are lots of good sites out there for learning about Table Tennis.
Pingskills, TT Edge (get the pun?) and more.

But for everything you wanted to know about Table Tennis go to Greg Letts' awesome site:
About.com Table Tennis/Ping Pong.

I don't know Greg, I've only conversed with him once on FB, but he is a Ping Pong maven and collates and presents a comprehensive treasure trove of Table Tennis.

His Friday Weekly updates are very informative too. Go here for his latest.

Thanks for all you are doing Greg Letts.

Table has gone from gaffa but Forbes will be back soon

We're planning to start up the club again at the Forbes hotel, cnr King and York St in the middle of Sydney City.

This will hopefully fill the hole that has been created from our table leaving the gaffa gallery. Nevertheless, keep an eye out for it to pop up again at gaffa or at other venues.

And we'd like to take a moment to thank gaffa for loving the Pong. Coolness personified and galleriafied (?).

Gaffa does some very cool stuff. Check out their latest meeting room...
