We have created a new Table Tennis Club for Largs and the local north coast and Cumbrae area, that will benefit the whole community, irrespective of age, ability and health. We run an open-to-all group session with activities for all abilities and ages. We have had attendance from ages 6 months to 93yrs! We offer FREE sessions for those under 18yrs. Our project is to hire or train our members to coach and train players. Our project will pay for attendance at accredited courses to develop players of all ages, through fun table tennis based activities.

Attendance at Tennis Scotland's Coaching Level 1 course in Edinburgh, for 3 people including travel expenses. Course fee £135, course is on two days but separated by several weeks so there will be double travel expenses, estimated at £50 per visit, per person. £135+£100= £235 per person x 3 people = £705. Shared travel will reduce the costs, any reduced cost saving will be utilised for other training activities.
