About the team

The Club was re-launched in December 2008, as The Widnes Tennis Academy Table Tennis Club after a history spanning from the 1930's as ICI "REC" and in more recent years as Widnes "REC". It isn't true that half the members played in the 1930's!! ... It was only a few of them.

We are proud of our tenure at the Academy, it is a tremendous facility and will hopefully grow and grow as a private members venture and as a resource for schools and the local community.

Following three successful seasons which saw WTA 1 win the 2nd division championship and thus promotion to the 1st division, the members accepted an invitation to relocate to a new venue at Widnes Rugby Union Football club.

We are grateful to Widnes Rugby Union Football Club for offering their facilities for our little Table Tennis community and we hope it will prove a terrific partnership. Who knows? maybe those big prop forwards might be very deft around the table tennis table ... mind you... even if they aren't ... I'm not going to tell them!!

Ours is an inclusive Club, everyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, nationality, lifestyle, origins, religion and even if you don't support Widnes R.U.F.C or Widnes Vikings!!! Joining a team or forming part of a new team and playing in League competition will require you to become a member of the Table Tennis section. A membership fee, payable to Widnes Rugby Union Football club, does apply. On Match nights members further contribute a subscription that accumulates to cover the next seasons costs and fees, which ensures the club is self-sufficient. This subscription is paid only by members actually playing in the match.

However, For all other adults, juniors, friends, and family groups, it is hoped informal evening sessions will be available shortly. These do not require you to be a member of the Table Tennis section though a small session fee is payable directly to the Widnes Rugby Union club for facility use. Coaching is provided by Club Coaches and is free.

We hope also to hold sessions specifically for young & young at heart beginners with our Coaches providing skills, drills and most of all FUN.(All Coaches are advanced C.R.B checked.)

Enjoy an evening with your family playing table tennis, Keeping fit and healthy, then relax in the club lounge as a guest afterwards and enjoy a chat and refreshments.

Hope to see you soon - from all at WRUFC Table Tennis Club
