From 7.00 to approx. 9.15PM is Social, Practice and some competitions. With the new lights and barriers, combined with the good wooden floor, easy car parking, good quality tables (up to 12 tables) etc this table tennis centre has become the premium table tennis centre for the Southern and Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. These sessions are particularly noted for being well organized and friendly. Paul will soon have you introduced to other people of a similar table tennis ability. Most table tennis sessions are $20 per session with an extra $5 per session for those being coached. This cost includes bats (if needed) and balls. On most nights there are 20 to 30 players. The club has been running since the late 1970s although it has changed its venue several times. Most players are not with meetup so RSVP numbers are not an indication of numbers attending.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.
