E11 came up with the idea of making a table tennis (or ping pong, as A3 much prefers calling it)table on our dining room table. You see, we don't have a lockable safe garage or a rumpus room to fit a full size table in and you certainly couldn't fit one in the garden shed that has belongings coming out to meet you when you open the door! So E11 put her thinking cap on and constructed some bats out of very stiff cardboard and a net from knitting needles and a piece of string. There was some fierce rivalvry between the parties that found themselves on the end of a bat!!! We had the 'fun of cork' as Gran would say.
