GTA Pong + Mimos Coliving's 5th Annual Summer SMASH
☀️ We're DOIN' IT AGAIN! GTA Pong's 5th Annual Summer Smash is taking place at Mimos Coliving's pad, just north of Bloor - Spadina (next to Dupont subway station).
😎 This is a meet and greet and also a ping pong tournament! All skill levels welcomed; please tell us your skill level when you register.
⏱️ Main Event: Sunday, July 20th, 2025 @ 2:00pm - 9:00pm
⏱️ We've been asked to pack it up before sunset (cleanup starting around 7 - 7:30pm) which is plenty of pong time. One table will probably still be available to play on from 7:30 - 9pm.
