On the 8th of November a Table Tennis Disability Day took part in both Llanelli and Carmarthen. This allowed youngsters from all over Carmarthenshire to take part in table tennis for the very first time. Over 90 youngsters attended the event held by Table Tennis Association Wales in partnership with Carmarthenshire County Council, Sport Wales, Llanelli Table Tennis Club, Carmarthen Table Tennis Club and Wales Disabled Table Tennis Academy run by Head Coach Jim Munkley. Before each session the kids had a taster of how table tennis can be played from Development Coach Aled Howell, European Medallist and GB Squad player Paul Karabardak plus the Academy members from the Welsh Squad. After the quick exhibition everyone got a chance to participate in a number of games set up on a number of tables.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who attended and made it a great success. Pictures will be put up shortly.
