The Northern Kentucky Table Tennis Club is one of
only four clubs in the entire state of Kentucky. Formed in February 2003, the club has already hosted one
tournament and has a two-star tournament planned for March 6, 2004.
Formed as a collaborative effort of
George Thompson, George Kent, and Greg Thompson, the club began a mere 10 months
ago at the Newport, Kentucky branch of the Boys’ and Girls’ Club of Greater
Cincinnati. When a change in summer
hours would have closed the club, it found a new permanent home at the Campbell
County branch (located in Fort Thomas, Kentucky) of the YMCA of Greater
Cincinnati. Starting with four
tables in a smaller room at the YMCA, the club was soon moved to the main
basketball court after adding two new tables in September for the club’s first
tournament.
