MP Takes On Crusaders In Sponsored Table Tennis Marathon

July 7, 2009 3:06 PM

Local MP Tom Brake took part in a 12 hour sponsored table tennis marathon, organised by Wallington's Crusaders Table Tennis Club, to raise money for the Sutton Association for the Blind (SAB). The event raised £1300, which will be shared equally between the club and charity.

SAB was established in 1965 to support and assist blind and partially sighted people by offering everything from special equipment to home visits, one to one outings, talks and lunches. The charity's manager was pleased to receive support from the club. "I was delighted. They managed to raise awareness of both their club and the charity. We are very grateful to the Crusaders."

Mr. Brake took on the club's finest on the 4th of July, and after a sound drubbing from Michael (14), was glad to comment. "It's great to see these impressive young talents applying themselves for charity. Today has seen a comprehensive win for Michael, a politician routed and a telling victory for SAB and the Crusaders."

    If you are a resident of the Carshalton and Wallington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
