The Warren Spring Table Tennis Club began life in 1959 when a government research establishment the Fuel Research Station relocated from Greenwich, London to Stevenage and was renamed the Warren Spring Laboratory after an ancient spring that once ran through the site.
Throughout the next thirty five years, the club successfully fielded teams in firstly the Stevenage league (being with Le Roi and B.A.E. founder members) and then the North Herts league when the Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth leagues combined in 1964.
The Laboratory was sold off in 1994 and demolished to make way for the Glaxo Smith Kline building and it was at this time that the club moved to its present location the village hall in Great Wymondley.
The club ran an extremely successful top six tournament in 1984 to mark its 25th anniversary, and is looking to repeat this feat when it will once again host a similar event to be held at the Plinston Hall Letchworth in September 2009.
Since its inauguration, more than 120 players have come through the club’s doors. A few have been with us for 30 years or so with many more celebrating over 20 years with the club.
We continue to grow in size and strength from just one team in 1959 to the eleven it fields today.
