The top table: Bankers and hedgies battle it out for charity ping pong title
Ping pong enthusiasts with a competitive spirit may like to get involved with a new City PM-backed initiative helping young Londoners from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Teams from financial powerhouses such as BNP Paribas and Man Group launched a table tennis championship towards the end of last week at the Greenhouse Centre close to Marylebone station.
Players from the French bank are currently in fourth position, with Man's hedgies in second.
New entrants to the corporate get-together can join a second league at the end of January – simply call Sharon on 020 8600 9991 or email [email protected].
City PM managing director Lawson Muncaster (pictured) joined the fun last week to show his support for Greenhouse Sports, which receives all proceeds. The inspirational charity works with 7,000 young people across 17 London boroughs to improve their life chances through intensive sports coaching and mentoring.
