After the massively successful launch of Pongathon on October 24th Pongathon has, without doubt, captured the imagination of the capitals’ passionate social ping pong players. From after work challenges and corporate parties everyone is spinning at the Pongathon’s! Such has been the demand for Pongathon that more tables and another night has been added, meaning from February 7th ‘Pongathon Tuesdays’ will be at Richmix every other week. More ping for your pong you might say!
