pingpong

Not since the halcyon days of Jono ‘the Master’ Marcus has there been such a fervour for table tennis at Cake Towers. However, after a few days of eyeing up the redundant table in the corner of reception, a small but perfectly formed squad of Cakers have reignited the flame (see action shot from last night’s session above).

Yes, that’s right, Table Tennis Tuesday - or Tx3 as the cool kids are calling it - has been born. The concept is simple: Tuesday nights are no longer for slinking off home to check in with University Challenge or Mock the Week..Again (just me then?), but instead scores* of enthusiastic Cakers can be found huddled around the table tennis table in reception honing their skills.

Entry standards are fairly flexible at the moment though to be eligible to join, you must own a garish Pat Cash-style headband. Current plans include an ongoing round-robin league, and a Wimbledon-themed week in June. Applications to: The Sports Secretary, The Basement, Stephen Mews. Don’t be shy now.
