Table tennis is great because anyone can have a go. It gets people out, having fun, moving and meeting new people. We’re a very friendly bunch and are glad to have new players, including beginners. It’s not for profit; we just get together and play (and laugh!). It’s at Mortimer Methodist Hall every Thursday afternoon.

1pm: Setting up the tables (you are welcome to help – but not obliged to).

1:15pm: Games commence. This session is just for fun. There’s a tea break in the middle.

3pm: It gets a bit more competitive, for those who like a challenge. They finish about 4:15pm and pack away.

You can turn up whenever suits you. The first time is free, after that it’s £4pp per visit (covers hall hire, plus equipment wear & tear). You must wear sensible, supportive shoes, with non-marking soles. Adults only.

On Fridays in term-time only, we run an after-school session for kids age 11-18. This is FREE and is manned by adult volunteers who are all DBS-checked.

Mortimer Methodist Hall.

Friday 4:30-5:30pm.

If you’re looking for somewhere to hold your party, meeting or a series of classes, Mortimer West End Village Hall could be the ideal venue. The flexible layout, with its spacious entry hall, large hall (6m x 9m) and small hall (6m x 3m) lends itself to many purposes. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are plenty of tables and chairs available to use. Fast and efficient heating makes it warm and cosy. The hall is also just 15 minutes from Junction 11 of the M4 and 20 minutes from Junction 6 of the M3 and has parking for about 20 cars. There is a recreation ground and children's playground across the road, and footpaths through the woodlands behind.  The small hall can be hired for as little as £3.50 per hour during the day.

The walks take place every Tuesday and start from the community centre car park opposite the Horse & Groom PH. There are always three walks – at 09:45 a longer, faster paced, walk of around 5.25 miles that lasts from 1 hr 45 mins to 2 hrs; at 10:00 our regular, easier paced, walk of around 3.5 miles that lasts about 1hr 30 mins; and at 10:30 a shorter, gentler, walk taking an hour (particularly intended for those just starting out, or coming back from illness, etc). We always all meet together back at the Horse & Groom, at around 11:30 to 11:45, for coffee. All are very welcome – new walkers please turn up about 10 mins before the relevant walk and make yourself known to one of the walk leaders. All walks are free of charge. From Mid April to October walks also take place on Monday evenings
