Table Tennis - General

Table tennis in fact originated from England as an after-dinner amusement for upper-class Victorians in the late 1880s. It is a fabulous sport and I love playing it. The down side is that it doesn't give you much exercise and is really quite hard to find a club where you can play table tennis.
