Administrative history
'Ping Pong' was introduced to the Women's Institute in early 1901, with a tournament held in March of that year. A Ping Pong Club was started at the Women's Institute in 1902. It is not known how consistently it run but the new building at Little Titchfield Street had table tennis tables built in for the use of the women, so was presumably popular around 1929. It seems to have remained consistently popular thereafter, and was played intermittently throughout WW2, regain its prominence again after the war and remaining popular until at least 1960.
