OUR GROUPS

 Firbeck is lucky to have a range of thriving regular activity groups, which run on a weekly or monthly basis, at the Village Hall.

Most of the groups are run by local residents, for the benefit of the local community, and cover a wide range of different interests.

Browse below to find out more information about each of the groups, including contact details.

TABLE TENNIS


A great way to get some gentle exercise, meet new friends, and have lots of fun! 


Players of all abilities, including complete beginners, are very welcome to join our table tennis club, which runs each Wednesday, 4:30pm to 6:30pm at Firbeck Village Hall.  


Each session costs £2.50 per person, which includes all equipment and refreshments.


We currently play on two full sized tables, and usually have a friendly doubles tournament during the session, where you’ll be paired with someone from the group. It’s all very friendly and there are always experienced players on hand to help you learn the rules.


If you’re not sure whether it’s for you, then you’re very welcome to come along for a free session and to meet others in the group, without obligation.


No need to book - just turn up, or if you would like more information, please ring or text Anita on 07505 461368 or Les on 07536 984401.

The evening consists of friendly matches between allocated teams with plenty of bowling and gentle rivalry. Regular team changes and a league system is managed and organised by Les.
