Take part in a summer of sport during the Ping Pong Project London event, which sees 100 table tennis tables popping up across the city. Have a free game of table tennis with friends or take part in quizzes, ping pong bingo, a sing and ping singalong and more special round the table events.

Pop up ping pong
Brought to you by Sing London, the same arts organisation that produced the street pianos project of 2009, the Ping Pong Project London event aims to bring the game of table tennis into the limelight. With 100 tables, 4000 bats and 10,000 balls pinging around the city for four weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with all the sporty fun.

Masterclasses
If your ping pong skills leave a lot to be desired and you can't serve without the ball ricocheting out of control then there's help at hand at during the Ping! season. The Spin In The Square masterclasses take place at squares across the city on 5th August, and if your game improves enough you may well still have time to enter the Smash The City league tournament.

The Ping Pong Project London events take place across the city from Saturday 24th July - Sunday 22nd August 2010. The table tennis games are free, although some individual events may be ticketed. For more information, click on the link below.
