NATIONAL Table Tennis Day is coming to Oxford on July 16 this year.

The day aims to get families to get together, have fun and promote the sport by having activities organised around the city for residents to get involved in.

Ping Oxford will give free access to table tennis for residents across the city who want to get involved and experience a new sport.

Last year’s inaugural NTTD was deemed a success, and Oxford city councillor Mark Lygo hopes everyone in the city can get involved.

He said: “Ping Oxford has become part of the city’s summer calendar and I for one am looking forward to it again."

It is always great to see communities come together over sport and Ping has brought families, friends, colleagues, neighbours and even strangers together over a ping pong table.”
