The former Boothen Neighbourhood Centre in Stoke has been given a new lease of life thanks to the MESC Table Tennis Club (MESC TTC) who have taken the facility on as their new base - attracting players from outside the local area. The club, which has been in existence for over 60 years now boasts 90m2 of world class beating Taraflex® Table Tennis Sports floor from international flooring specialist Gerflor in ‘Red’ for their main sports room and it looks first class.MESC TTC is a Table Tennis England “Premier Club and it has members of all ages ranging from 8-80+ years of age. They also coach juniors and have teams in the National Cadet and Junior League. The intention is that the new venue will move the club forward and eventually become a centre of excellence in the area. The building is now in use seven days a week and offers a place for both experienced and developing table tennis players of all ages to hone their skills.Malcolm Dawson, Chairman, MESC TTC commented, “The project came about because we were moving to our new premises, which we took over from the Local Authority as part of a Community Asset Transfer. We had been developing the venue from a very small hall, with offices and storerooms into a fit for purpose table tennis specific venue. This involved security fencing outside, security cameras, installing a new ceiling plus LED lighting, removing internal walls, and finally upgrading the sports floor to an Olympic pedigree solution.”Malcolm Dawson added, “We chose Gerflor’s Taraflex Table Tennis Sports Floor after much research, and as this flooring is approved by the ITTF (which is the Table Tennis’s international governing body), we knew it would be perfectly fit for purpose and our user’s needs.”The installation of the Gerflor Taraflex® Table Tennis Sports floor would need to be undertaken by a company who would meet the high levels of professionalism that the laying of the new floor would demand. Manchester-based XL Gym Interiors Ltd would be the appointed flooring contractor. The staff at XL Gym Interiors have worked in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years, and witnessed trends come and go. Their job is to make sports facilities current, interesting, and an enjoyable space to train and compete in.

The Goodwin Development Trust are an organisation committed to improving the quality of life within the communities of Hull. Their Octagon Centre provides a range of services that meets the many needs of the community which includes floor space for the Goodwin Table Tennis Club (GTTC) to practice and play on. Providing a suitable playing surface for the GTTC would involve a local flooring installer supplying 300m2 of top-quality flooring from international flooring specialist Gerflor. It would prove to be an ideal project perfectly suited to Gerflor’s world-renowned Taraflex® Table Tennis Floor.

The Taraflex™ Eco-Fit system is suitable for sports, community projects and is ideal for use over existing sports floorings, where there is no risk of rising dampness such as resin, parquet and PVC.

Artform recommended the Spencer Litter Bin and the Pic-Nic Table & Bench for their contemporary finish in corten steel. The table and bench ends incorporated bespoke laser cutting elements into the design.

University of Leeds……came back to Race Furniture, after the successful transformation of 3 lecture theatres in 2016, to create a version of the same product in 3 more of their lecture theatres in the iconic Roger Stevens Building. Focussing on the University’s determination to ‘build a fairer future for all’, ergonomics, posture and accessibility were key areas of importance. The university wanted to create a space that was inspiring and collaborative while also being accessible for all. To hit these requirements the client requested a combination of height adjustable tables and standard tables for each of the lecture theatres that also needed to have AV integrated. The full project required 12x seat places at the back of the hall with writing shelf, 9x standard tables and 2x height adjustable tables.The SolutionA height adjustable table was a completely new product for Race Furniture, so a lot of research and development went in to creating the perfect solution. Utilising the connections of our colleagues within the wider group company, we worked with Linak to create smooth moving tables using their electric linear actuator solutions. Two prototypes were developed in the R&D stage, the first as proof of principle and the second with the corrections made. The software was customised to fit the clients requirements, with the table being able to sit between 710-910mm in height.With the AV provisions we also integrated 2 wireless charging spots, speakers, microphones and laptops into the tables, allowing students to remain connected. A row of Montpellier seating was created at the back of the room with a writing shelf that also had integrated, retractable coat hooks.The OutcomeWith the smaller details such as the matching wall infills (also created by Race) and laptop holders upholstered in matching fabrics, the end result was a stunning success. Though, not without it’s challenges, as would be expected for a completely new product creation, the height adjustable table was a great new creation from Race and allowed us to explore new ways of working with computer programming, software development, and technological advancement.Steve Gilley, Director of Estate & Facilities, University of Leeds said: “We listened to feedback from students about recently updated teaching spaces elsewhere in Roger Stevens and in Mechanical Engineering. The new lecture theatres reflect what they have told us they need, from simple additions like coat hooks and more space for bags to the exciting technology that encourages collaborative learning.”*We can’t wait to hear the feedback from all using these new spaces.*Quote taken from: https://estates.leeds.ac.uk/cd-news/roger-stevens-new-teaching-spaces-open/

THE PROJECTThe Great Minster House project is a high-end residence that features a freestanding bank of H1 lateral mailboxes. The mailboxes were fitted onto a bespoke table support created specifically for the project.

The engraving has been filled with a gold colour finish which matches the brass locks used on the mailboxes. The engraving identifies each mailbox using incremental numbering, allowing the residents and postal delivery workers to easily find the specific mailbox required.The mailboxes were finished in a bespoke ‘Bitter Chocolate – Matt’ finish (Product code BS 08B29) to meet the specific branding guidelines set out for the project.
