Rhondda TTC Appeal...

Rhondda Table Tennis Club has been shortlisted for the South Wales Echo's wish 2013 campaign. The £25,000 will be shared amongst the clubs on that wish list. The more tokens each group collect, the larger amount of cash they will receive.

How you can help:

Four tokens will be printed each day in the South Wales Echo from 2nd October-30th November. If you can manage to collect the tokens and hand them to me then I can stick them in the books provided. Watch out for the 'bonus tokens' as well, these could give the group a much needed boost.

The more people collecting the tokens and spreading the word then the better chance of getting a bigger share of the cash pot and helping Rhondda Table Tennis club. Therefore please spread the word, ask parents, relatives, work colleagues, local community,schools,local shops and anyone you can think of. I have posters and leaflets if you need any to help spread the word.
