FROME Table Tennis Club has is back in action and has space for people to join its Sunday sessions.
The club says, “The club started in July 2019 and we play at the Frome Youth and Community Centre, Vallis Road, on Thursdays (8-10pm) and Sundays (10am-12 noon). We have members with ages ranging from 18 to those in their 60s. We are an inclusive and friendly group who enjoy the socialisation as much as the table tennis itself. There is also a wide range of abilities, and with the best players helping the others to improve with tips, you find yourself improving rapidly.
“Lockdown provided a serious challenge and there was a large period in which we weren’t playing at all. However, we’re all grateful to be back in action, and membership is full on a Thursday (although you can go on the waiting list).
“We have spaces for Sunday mornings though, so please contact Josephine Boyd on frometabletennis@gmail.com or 07500 955038 if you are interested in joining us. We are also very excited to be entering two league teams into the Mendip League in September, for the first time!”
![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
