STRATFORD-upon-Avon Table Tennis Club are gearing for a 24-hour marathon at the end of month in aid of charity.
The club are hosting a fundraising event on Saturday, Janaury 31 at Ilmington Village Hall.
Club chair Kevin Taylor, Stratford members and players from all over the United Kingdom will join together to attempt a 24-hour table tennis marathon.
The event is in aid of Parkinson’s UK and Alzheimer’s Society with the club hoping to raise funds for the two charities.
Raffle prizes will be available on the day, with funds also helping to support grassroots clubs and outreach projects across the area.

Off the table, the Stratford-upon-Avon Table Tennis League recently received a boost thanks to the donation of three new trophies for each division.
John Mackay, Littleton Table Tennis Club, Richard Bishop and Bengeworth Table Tennis Club provided the league with the cups.
On the table, Stratford-upon-Avon Table Tennis Club’s cadet boys also recorded two wins and a draw in their most recent matches.
The team of Joshua Marston, Max Tanqueray, Herbie Langstone, Charlie Shuker and Lewis Marston achieved promotion to Division Four the previous weekend.
And the boys beat Littleton 6-3 and West Bridgford 8-1 before slipping to a narrow 5-4 defeat against Kidlington B.
J Marston retained a 100 per cent win record throughout as the team finished second overall to move up to Division Three for the next round of matches in early February.
