The Ping Aspire Series continued its momentum on Sunday with another fantastic event – this time hosted in Thanet, where record numbers of players came together for a brilliant day of table tennis.
The day brought together a wonderful mix of participants, with junior players of varying abilities joining more experienced older hands to create an exciting blend of styles, attitudes and approaches. The result was a truly inspiring display of table tennis, perfectly capturing the essence of what Ping Aspire is all about – inclusivity, enjoyment and friendly competition in a supportive environment.
Playing against players of similar ability was great – so well organised

A huge thank you goes to Thanet Vikings Table Tennis Club for hosting such a well-run and welcoming event, and to Bribar for their continued sponsorship and support of the Ping Aspire Series.
The energy throughout the day was superb, with players of all backgrounds sharing smiles, advice and encouragement. Once again, the Aspire ethos shone through – table tennis for everyone, played with passion, fairness and fun.
The feedback from all our players was that they all had such an enjoyable day
