History of the Club Battle Table Tennis Club was founded in 1994 following the establishment of an after school club at Battle & Langton School. The aim of the club was to provide opportunities for those leaving Battle & Langton to be able to continue playing the sport within the Battle community. The club was founded by the current Head Coach who, with help from the Foundation for Sports and the Arts and Lion Sports International, equiped the club at its then base, St Mary’s Church Hall in Battle High Street. In 2004 the club received a grant from Awards for All, part of the National Lottery to upgrade its equipment and to develop the sport in the area for a period of 12 months. The club proved very popular and in 2007 moved to its current premises at Claverham Community Sports College.This enabled the club to expand the number of tables in operation. In recent years three tables which allow for wheelchair play have been donated for which we thank Kevin for donating two tables and Battle Round Table who donated a third. The club now has 13 tables on site of which 8 are used on a normal club evening along with 2 robots, one of which is often on loan to schools in the area. During the coming years it is hoped that players who have gorwn up with the club will want to take on roles within the club so that it may move forward into the future and continue to provide an opportunity for people within the local community, and further afield, to enable all that the sport has to offer. © Battle Community Table Tennis Club (2012)
