Venue is fine but timing is off for the working class.If there are evening sessions say 730pm onwards, private message me. Thanks!

I understand. It will be good for those who wants a good workout before heading to the office. There is a full gym facility and shower facility including a swimming pool for your use.

Wonder can one really have a good workout for 30 min....  felt that it is too short.
You might want to consider what Jay suggested....

At the moment, there are 3 of us. All 3 of us run our own business and that is why we can spare the time. We are looking for at least one more kaki to play doubles. 3 of us finds that we need to spend time in the evening with our family. 

We can also change our Friday session to Saturday if there is anyone interested to join us.

It is nice to play doubles but would be better to play singles and then warm down with doubles.  Your timing of 7am do suit your timetable but difficult to attract 9to5 type.  Most schedules are in the evening except for weekends.  I play every Wed with a group of 4 for 2 hr - had a good sweat.  I am sure if you can arrange for evening slots more will be able to join.  I would say a party of 4-6 will be just fine for a 2-3 hr workout.  
I have been following this site and very glad that there has been a bunch of TT enthusiasts putting in extra effort to promote TT.

Monday to Friday late afternoon.  Anyone interested?

Ok! After our TT session today, we have decided to change our meeting timing to 7.00 pm to 10pm, Mondays, Wednesday & Friday. 

All are welcome regardless of your playing skills. If you are interested, please send me a pm and I will furnish you the details. You may come and join us at any time from 7.00 pm to 10 pm. Just bring your own bat/blade and refreshments.

It is in a club house, located in a condo off Thomson Road.

Nice to read that your group has adjusted the timing to suit others - seems working.  I hope to be able to work my wkly schedule to play on Mon.  Do you play with senior as I am 60+ and an avg player.
I am residing nearby at SinMing Ave.

I am 60. My kakis are in their 40's.

We just completed our session today with a new member. I enjoyed the doubles game very much. Next session will be this coming Friday.

If you can take in an extra player [single or double] I would like to play on Monday evening.

Thanks Sushi for the Yishun schedule.  The timetable looks interesting and enticing.  Glad to see a group of active TT enthusiasts playing and practising and with Adidas sponsoring the tables.  
I am just playing to keep fit and to maintain my reflexes.  Hwr the timing 0900-1400 is off as still working to keep mind in full operative mode though the harddisk is spinning a bit slower.  
If opportunities allowed, wil drop by 1 day.

Wah! Sushi, your group the standard is too high for me. Sure kenna thresh kosong.

no lah , we all play to keep fit and our players here are all very forgiving .
the not so good ones will improve over time while the good ones will brush up and improve their accuracy as well as precision .
join us if you have the time , its quite fun to get thrash once in a while , still a lot better than getting thrash in an open event ....

I kena thrashed 11-0 when I started playing in this group,despite the setback I was very happy ! because it showed that my opponent was serious and it proved that my play had many many mistakes . I was thankful ,for that was a turning point for me , as I grew from strength to strength !
Guess what ? after 4 months of train and play I came back to defeat this veteran champ, 3-0 !
11-6 , 11-8 , 12-10 , I tot he was giving me chance, but true sportsmanship on his part , he gave me a good thumbs up with acknowledgement and also encouragement !   

if you have a will you will have the way !
I have acknowledged him as my shifu !

Mine is a case of "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"

Have pm my name and mobile for the Monday TT.  Hope to be able to join the group for some sweating session.

1st session with this group of 4.  Place is ideal, quiet and airy.  Had a good 2 hr workout of Singles and dbls and a lot of perspiration.  Enjoyed the game and the friendly atmosphere.  Playing Mon/Wed/Fri will definitely be good exercise and to further improve ones skill.  Will definitely put Mon night into my weekly calender.

Nice environment... So you guys have a fix schedule ?
