We were delighted to welcome Linda Fabiani MSP to the club tonight – our first night back after the summer break.

Linda, a player in her youth, stayed with us for our first hour and we even got her playing for a bit…a wicked backhand I must say!

Linda was delighted to hear about our plans for the club and meet some of the team and club members.

Linda – you are welcome back any time!

We are delighted to announce today that East Kilbride Table Tennis Club has been re-accredited to Bronze level as part of South Lanarkshire Leisure’s club accreditation scheme – Club SL.

The South Lanarkshire Leisure Club SL scheme was developed in consultation with Active Schools Coordinators, Sports Development Officers, Facility Managers, other local authorities, and importantly a wide range of local sports clubs throughout South Lanarkshire.

There are two levels of accreditation a club can be awarded, Bronze and Gold, each with its own range of benefits.

The key aims of the scheme are to help local clubs develop and support:

• Good governance
• Qualified coaches
• Volunteers
• Club structures
• Planning
• Growth
• Clubs that are inclusive

South Lanarkshire Leisure are a key partner of East Kilbride Table Tennis Club and our development ambitions to increase table tennis participation across South Lanarkshire.

Hi Everyone,
