November 2006 - Ping Pong Table

Every month we try to add something to improve our church building. With colder weather coming, we thought our young people would enjoy having a ping pong table in the house. Everybody really enjoys it!

Delivery truck

We bought the new ping pong table at a sporting goods store and had it delivered.

Unloading

They deliver, but you have to unload it yourself...

Easy does it

Alan and I carry half the table through the gate.

Some assembly required

Alan puts the legs on the first half of the table.

Setting up the first half

Alan and Don put the assembled half table in position.

Step two

Preparing the second half for assembly

Team work

Now that we know what we are doing, this is going faster.

Two halves make a whole

We put the second half in place.

Net Work

A properly adjusted and tensioned net is the key to success.

First game

Taking the table for a test drive. We won't say who won...

Sibling rivalry

Alan and April battle it out as Mom watches.

International conflict

Our Russian friend Andrei wants to try his skill.

A game for all ages

We showed Andrei our new table that we got "for the young people". He said, "I'm young!"

Happy surprise

Vlad and Irina were very happy when they came Sunday and saw our new attraction.

A gentleman's contest

Alan and Vlad square off for some friendly competition.

Cheerleader

Irina supports the Russian side of the table.

Intensity

The tie comes off as the game becomes more difficult. Vlad is a very good player!
