Most of its annual income comes from government grants and Sport England funding.[1] Table Tennis England runs three separate national championships every year – for U10-U13 players; cadets and juniors; and seniors – as well as operating the British League, a Grand Prix series and other irregularly held tournaments, including the English Open.[2]

History

It was founded as the Table Tennis Association in 1921.[3] The organisation was known as the English Table Tennis Association between 1927 and 2014 and has been affiliated to the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) since 1927.[4][5] Table Tennis England is based at Milton Keynes, having moved from Hastings in March 2014.[6] The singer Andy Bell acted as an advisor from 1981 to 1983.[citation needed] It rebranded as Table Tennis England in May 2014.

The organisation was scheduled to move into a purpose-built headquarters near the National Bowl, Milton Keynes, to be shared with Badminton England, but the project has now been shelved.[7]
