Indoor Table Tennis at Wavelength Leisure, anyone like to have a game or workout in a park with me?


Recommended Posts

I know this is a Dulwich forum, but I can't find any leisure centres where we can book an indoor table tennis table in our neighbourhood or surrounding boroughs. Wavelength in Deptford appears to be the nearest leisure centre with a bookable table tennis that I can find.  I know there are local table tennis clubs, but I am not keen on committing to any memberships. Wavelength prices is surprising cheap, though, at £6.50 per hour per table, so split the cost for two players. At least that is my interpretation from the website. 

 

I am an average/intermediate standard player but not having played for a few years (...well, not in the real world...I'll explain shortly!) so I will be rusty.  Would any of you like to have a game? Or do you know of a closer venue? I am not keen on outdoor tables as my experience with them is uncomfortable (wind and uneven ground). 

 

Don't laugh but when I said not in the real world, well I have been playing Table tennis in Virtual Reality (Quest 2/3 for those of you who know about VR headsets) which feels extraordinarily like the real thing, So I am keen to compare how it realistic it really is! 

 

I am also keen to becoming healthy fit (or in other words lose the unwanted bodyfat that is on me!), so I am also keen to doing workouts in a park for which I have qualified knowledge in fitness/body fat loss training. I have a lot of resistance bands that I can share with anyone who would like to work out with me.

 

I do also play Squash and Badminton and good at both but for now, table tennis is my sole interest.

 

Anyone like to play a game or workout with me? Or have you any pointers where I can play, maybe a club night TT session anywhere. 

 

Thanks

    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
