Brighton Table Tennis Club. Founded in 2007 by Tim Holtam, Harry McCarney and Wen Wei Xu, BTTC started small with two worn out tables in the Brighton Youth Centre but with the strong belief that table tennis can be used as a powerful tool in engaging people of all ages and transforming lives. Table tennis is known to be one of the most accessible and exciting sports, helping both physical and mental agility for all ages. The club have celebrated two players that have become medal winners at the Paralympic Games. |
