New Table Tennis Table at the Dean!
New table tennis table now installed at Dean Meadow - funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. Bring your own bats and balls and enjoy a game this summer, inspired by ideas from The Downs School students.

We asked local secondary school students for their ideas on how to make the Dean more fun – and they didn’t hold back! One of their top suggestions was a table tennis table… so we’ve gone ahead and installed one! 🎉
Remember to bring your own bats and balls – then you’re ready to play. 🏓
Grab your friends, challenge your parents, and see who’s the ping‑pong champ of Hampstead Norreys! ☀️
A big thank‑you to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting the project, and to the brilliant students of The Downs School for sharing their ideas and enthusiasm. 👏
Installed just in time for the summer holidays – come and give it a go! 🌼
