About the Event:
This event is part of the Chinese New Year Celebrations (Year of the Snake) at Queen’s. Sponsored by the QUB iRISE Staff Network, we would like to invite all students and staff members, and their families as well, to join this fun and friendly event to engage with this popular sport among the Chinese communities, as well as providing an opportunity for enhancing student and staff wellbeing through sport.
Both beginners and more advanced players are welcome to sign up for the fun event, with an appreciation of its unique culture, as well as developing some practical skills in body movements and mediation. We hope this fun game will also demonstrate the charm of the table tennis playing. We will provide basic equipment such as rackets and balls, and feel free to bring your own equipment and wear properly. Children must be attended by parents or guardians.
This 3-hour-long event is free for all as non-PEC members’ entry fees are covered. Booking is needed due to capacity (up to 40 players) and access request. Please complete the registration form below. Places are given on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Catering
There will be lunch bags provided, including a piece of sandwich, a bottle of water and a piece of fruit (to be confirmed on the day) for each participant. You are welcome to take your own packed lunch with you if you wish.
Car Parking
Parking at the PEC is free for the initial 3 hours of your reservation. After that period, there is a fee of £1.80 per hour. Please register your car at the terminals inside the main PEC Building. To avoid this inconvenience, you may wish to park your cars outside the parking area, alongside the River Lagan Annandale Embankment.
