Uni of Nottingham TTC and Sycamore TTC Nottingham!
UoN is pretty self explanatory, Our head of sports is Alex Perry, Director of Table Tennis is his wife Nicola Perry (you might know her as Nicola Deaton. Yea that 4 times British women's champion.) 1st team coach is British champion Alan Cooke, for 2nd,3rd and 4th teams we have current British Champion Kelly Sibley, and Men's no.10 Gavin Evans holds open trainings on Saturdays.
We play for 6 days in a week. As we are the biggest Uni club in the UK with 8 teams participating in BUCS (British University and Colleges Sports) Leagues, we have specific training sessions for each teams. 1sts and 2nds train for at least 3 days a week, 3rds and 4ths have trainings for at least 2 days a week. There is an open session on Saturday where the team squads and social players mix up and train together. the social players can go for a formal session with coach Joseph Bell from Sycamore on wednesdays or go for a free play session on Fridays.
Usually for trainings we have both the practice rooms in the Uni sports centre, which is usually enough due to the streamed sessions. 8 tables at least.
Practice rooms are probably 3 meter in ceiling height and is probably 12m*12m (dont know exactly)
I don't know how many tables we have in the uni exactly, but roughly estimating i would say probably well over 35 of them over both the Uni Park campus and the Jubilee Campus since we usually hold the annual BUCS Individual Championships, which will have about 30 tables set up at a time in both halls in the uni park sports centre.
Sycamore TTC Nottingham
Current British Champion as well, i dont play for them since I have BUCS fixtures on most wednesdays and reckoned that I will be too exhausted afterwards to play for the club in the Nottingham League. I only go there on Mondays for free training sessions.
The club usually have 13 tables set up each time, I think they have more than that though.
Its an indoor football court sized hall. Ceiling must be well above 10 meters.
Its open 4 days a week, on Mon, Wed and Weekends.

) and is only dedicated to the practice of table tennis. It has 24 tables, opens 6 times a week and you can practice if you want in an other place with 8 tables during the week end. I 'm glad i found a club like this !
