1st O5BM Annual Community Table Tennis Tournament in Luton

Centres from Luton North, Luton South, Stevenage, Chelmsford, Grays, Thamesmead and Southend gathered in Luton to compete in both singles and doubles matches. The atmosphere was electric, filled with cheers, laughter, and a shared sense of pride.

Chelmsford triumphed in the singles contest and Luton claimed victory in the doubles match

The winning teams were proudly presented with trophies by the Mayor of Luton, Councillor Amy Nicholls, in a moment that crowned the day’s achievements.

We were also delighted to welcome Chris Bryden, Area Manager for Table Tennis England, who attended to support and observe the tournament, adding a valued presence to the day’s proceedings.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Luton Borough Council, our members, volunteers, and every supporter who helped make this landmark event a success.
