MAYOR Kate Rolfe picked up a paddle to mark National Table Tennis Day in Stratford.
A table was set up in Bell Court shopping centre on Thursday to give all ages a chance to try their hand at the sport which helps people get active and stay fit.
And Coun Rolfe was among those who took up a bat – also known as a paddle – to give it a go.
And those who were not able to get along on the national day, can play for free on the table in Bell Court throughout the summer – weather permitting of course.
