KREM: Senior Ping Pongers Up In Arms

Some seniors in Spokane Valley are ready to fight for the sport they love. The Spokane Valley Senior Center Board of Directors plans to relocate two ping pong tables to another location five miles away, and will now charge for open sessions. The Board decided ping pong was too dangerous after a woman broke her arm. Board members say they've also received noise complaints. Senior Center member Vern Hutchinson says all this was decided after he wrote a letter to the Board, asking them for a third ping pong table. "I'm 81-years-old, I'd like to play ping pong and do it in a reasonable fashion," Hutchinson told KREM 2 News/Jane McCarthy, KREM2. More here.

Question: How would you solve this problem?
