24 Hour Table Tennis

On the 1st May, a 24 hour table tennis was held by 22 year eight students and 4 teachers. The students and teachers were,


  • Vicky Rowedder

  • Kim Buckland

  • Ben Hollick

  • Michael Barney

  • Alfie Horwood

  • Poppy Younger

  • Ben Slocombe

  • Charlie Firth

  • Tom Marshall

  • Becky Jones

  • Hannah Buckle

  • Alex Cripps

  • Ellie Howarth

  • Daniel Biggs

  • Izzy Izzard

  • Kirsten Allemand

  • Chloe Graham

  • Sophie Mcillmurry

  • Max Broggio

  • Kieran O’Brien

  • Luke Busby

  • Hollie Maides

  • Miss Allman

  • Miss West

  • Miss Goschinski

  • Mr Whittle

For the first couple of hours everyone was hyperactive and excited, but didn’t realise how tiring it would get as the hours went by. We found it very hard but at midnight when the teachers asked if we wanted to go to sleep, we refused and told them “we came to do a 24 hour table tennis” and that is what we did. We would like to congratulate the people who stayed up all night and also those who stayed for the whole 24 hours. But thank you to those who took part anyway.
We have received great sponsorship from everybody and thanks to everyone who sponsored us, but currently we do not know the exact amount that has been raised. We speak for everyone when we say, we had a great time and loads of fun. Our advice for you is that if you get the chance to do a 24 hour event, then never give up and keep going till the end as the feeling inside once you have finished is amazing (most likely the adrenalin).
