A lot of interest has been voiced over table-tennis. Can anyone commit? Can we think of some ways to get started? Never mind about the long run, let's think about today, tomorrow and next week...
I could definitely do something about the reading table (magazines) if needed. Both these activities could attract some participation. About the long-term issues (caretaker, etc), those could hopefully get sorted out in time. It's also an issue of building critical mass.
