I know there are a couple of good players in Hillview Sports Club, Clonmel if willing to travel.
Not sure what kind of club the have but maybe worth contacting and they may know more.

frameman9 · 15-04-2010 11:21pm

Thanks Tipper 1. Though i spend a lot of my day on the road , i dont fancy driving again to Clonmel for a Game. If i was closer maybe ..Yang , might have to take you up on that offer. Might PM you during the week or coming while and arrange something.

Hey there. Havent yet. was going to look into the UL one but completely forgot. Looks to be the only main one so far. Like you , i would be interested.

crazygeryy · 07-09-2010 6:02pm

isnt st michaels table tennis club still open?its just off henry street beside the main post office.ill find out tomorrow and let ye know.

frameman9 · 07-09-2010 6:14pm

cheers , crazy geryy !

crazygeryy · 08-09-2010 6:12pm

ok st michaels is no longer a table tennis venue its all snooker tables now.

but the limerick lawn tennis club is having a table tennis open night on the 15th of october (friday).basicly they need 48 people (16 teams of 3).there will be 7 or 8 table tennis tables, finger food and prizes on the night.its 5 euro a man and its in aid of the club.all are welcome.

so i guess if you want to play table tennis thats the place to be.

if anyone is interested pm me and il get back to you.

quickdraw1 · 16-09-2010 2:25pm

im going out there tonight at 9 so ill let you know tomorrow.any people ive asked seem to say its still on.monday and thursday nights at 9pm

quickdraw1 · 16-09-2010 4:56pm

Think I might head in myself tonight also

crazygeryy · 17-09-2010 1:48pm

well i went last night.there were 7 tables in use and 3 or 4 more in storage that could have been used so no problem getting a game.loads of space there as well.its a great place to play.

the only thing is there was no one there in charge so to speak.you just get out a table and play.
so it would be good if you brought someone to play with although id have no qualms asking someone to play.it would be good if someone was in charge so you could swap people around and vary who you play with if you get my drift.

and i didnt have to pay which was good but weird.i asked at reception whos in charge of it and they didnt know lol.

bottom line it s great place to play.mondays and thursdays at 9 people.see you there.

quickdraw were you there?

quickdraw1 · 17-09-2010 2:07pm

not there last night but will defo be there on monday great to hear its back there

frameman9 · 29-09-2010 2:00pm

Hey . Was there Tuesday night for an hour and there was 7 or 8 tables in play with another 4 in storage . Will be going back thursday night . Anyone know if its a club setup as it just seemed people turned up and played with not much mixing around of players etc and went home

no club set up that i could see and i made a few phone calls as well and i was told to ring the students union.no joy with them.last year there was a coach but he left.so yes thats it people turn up play and go home.id love to ask people to swap around but i get the feeling they wouldnt like it????????

frameman9 · 29-09-2010 3:06pm

Cheers. I get that impression also. Hopefully ill see you there and we can try and change that mentality and dont' be afraid to come over and ask me !!. better if people could play with other players alright.

Hi
i was wondering if table tennis is still going in ul mon and thurs . Anyone have a good website to buy a bat and what type should i buy . I was at an ok standard 15 years ago but have lost touch with it since then . Any help would be great

frameman9 · 16-11-2010 11:46pm

hey there. Yep still going on both Mondays and Thursdays from pm at the back of the courts. good nights . Alot of i chatted to would be similar in that they have'nt played for a while , but soon back in the swing. Good bunch turn up on the various nights. As for you bat question, dont know myself as i have mine for ages , but some of the very good guys would probably know. Bats there to be used to .

TT still going on Monday and Thursday nights , if looking for a bat you could check out www.tftt.ie/ seems to cater for all standard of players and budgets and is willing to give advice if needed.

Youmarkmywords · 24-05-2011 9:38pm

Hi guys,
Just saw this thread. Interested in heading along myself. I'm presuming this club/event is still up & operational? Just to confirm, do I need to bring anything I.e. Bat, etc.
Haven't played since about 10 years ago but I used to be reasonably ok. It really is a great game. Yer help / advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
