Which sports centre(s) are you looking to rent space at? What are you looking to do with the provision of table tennis? I ask because I chair a community of outdoor table tennis players based on Stratford

@Marian spiers Hi - thanks for the information. There's a very wide age group of players in the community and a handful of semi-regulars are within the age group of 13-19. I recall there are sometimes Street TT sessions at Newham Leisure Centre . When time frames do you usually have table tennis available for?
