Players of all ages and abilities were invited to attend this free event, with six tables available and more on the way.

Leading Shropshire County table tennis officials were in attendance to help the event run smoothly.

Lewis was responsible for the setting up of the biggest ‘bat and chat’ club in the country at the Tudor Grange Centre, Solihull, which currently has up to 40 regular players.

He made his Telford League debut recently for Albrighton Brummies and enjoyed an unbeaten performance in their 7-3 win over Lilleshall A, with Purdip Shoker also flawless.

There was a major shock in Division One, with reigning champions Albrighton Bandits hammered 10-0 by the Albrighton Abbey trio of Ralph Humphries, Samuel Cox and Wayne Richards in one of the biggest ever upsets in the competition’s long history.
