Haddington

“Anyone for table tennis?” was an article published in the East Lothian Courier in November 2002. It resulted in an agreement by six local enthusiasts to start a club, playing in the Corn Exchange. In 2015 the Club embarked on a 5-year plan to boost the numbers at all ages playing table tennis across East Lothian. Providing opportunities for young people to take up the sport through schools and community centres and establishing table tennis as a regular form of exercise for people of all ages, including as a therapy for dementia. We run coaching sessions for juniors and seniors twice weekly as part of our club nights, playing on 10 tournament standard tables. In 2015 the Club secured 4-year funding from Sportscotland for a part-time Development Officer. As a result the Club has launched Table Tennis East Lothian in partnership with Active Schools and with sponsorship support from Hab Fab Ltd and EDF Energy. The club leant tables and equipment to primary schools to promote and develop table tennis. As a result of this several hundred pupils each week across East Lothian will be playing table tennis. In 2016, Haddington Table Tennis Club were named ‘East Lothian Sports Club of the Year’. Richard Yule, Chief Operating Officer of Table Tennis Scotland, adds: “Haddington Table Tennis Club are regarded by Table Tennis Scotland as one of our most progressive clubs and a role model for others across Scotland. Their progress is particularly impressive for such a relatively new club.”

JMD Training was established in 2010 by the husband and wife team of Jim and Maire Donnelly, both of whom had many years’ experience in Health and Safety Training Northern Ireland and CSR Training Belfast. They recognised a niche in the market for an organisation that could deliver CSR and H&S training to scrupulously high standards, yet do so in a more flexible, caring and engaging manner than others. Jim and Maire knew that while employers and candidates appreciated the need for on-going training, the process itself was frequently intimidating and dispassionate. So in JMD Training, they have created an organisation with a distinctive culture and values, one in which learning in a supportive, non-intimidating environment is paramount, where training is memorable and – dare we say it – fun! It’s in our name – JMD – Just Making a Difference. JMD Training is now a leading H&S training company working across the North and South of Ireland, delivering high quality training and consultancy work working with Moy Park, Belfast Met, BPerfect, Mount Charles and the Housing Executive to just name a few. Offering a comprehensive range of training services from CSR, First Aid, Mental Health, Plant Machinery, Food Safety and reflecting the diversity of Northern Irelands workforce with language alternatives. To deliver this unique experience, they have built a ‘family’ of like-minded trainers and support staff, all of who share their professional rigour and personal warmth.
