 Ping! Cornwall is coming! 

       

 The world is watching Ping!  Since 2010, Ping! has received huge amounts of world‐wide media coverage; from London’s Metro through to the New York Times and CBS. It’s been estimated that Ping! has been seen by over 120million people worldwide through the press and media. We were also voted by Time Out as one of London’s top 5 events of 2010!       Ping! is an epic success 

 

It truly underlined the wide appeal of table tennis demonstrating the fantastic value it presents as a vehicle to engage communities and get people active...in fact, Sport England’s latest ‘Active People Survey’, shows over 2010/11 that Birmingham and London saw an increase in the number of people playing on a regular basis which was largely thanks to Ping!  The donated tables post Ping! have helped create a legacy that will benefit the residents and communities for years.        Ping! 2013  

This summer Ping! are back to fill the streets of XXXXX with a load of ping pong tables to get everyone active and having fun.  

The tables will be for everyone to use and enjoy for free and be accompanied by a festival of events from free coaching to competitions, family picnics to quizzes and an array of social games.  Every table will remain in the city after Ping! being installed in parks and estates on a permanent basis or donated to organisations to truly benefit the city’s residents and communities.  

 

 

Ping! ‐ creating a tangible and positive impact on the cities of England
