In an incredible display of skill and determination, our head coach, James, has emerged as one of the standout performers at the recent National Veterans Championships. Competing in the Over-65 and 70 categories, James secured an impressive haul of three gold medals and two silver medals, marking a dominant presence in multiple events throughout the competition.

His exceptional performance didn’t go unnoticed, as James was also honoured with the prestigious Best Player Award in the Over-70 Men’s division, further cementing his status as one of the top players in his age group.

The Championships brought together some of the finest veteran table tennis players from across the country and saw fierce competition in all categories. However, James’ extraordinary performance stood out as he fought his way to the podium in event after event.

James said about his achievement, “It’s an amazing feeling to come out on top, especially at such a competitive event. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my club and teammates. This is a moment I will always cherish.”

With this latest success, James continues to inspire fellow players, showing that passion for the sport and hard work can lead to remarkable achievements at any age.

We are thrilled to announce that our club has received a generous grant from Table Tennis Australia (TTA) to help us upgrade our equipment. This will significantly enhance the playing experience for all our members.

We sincerely appreciate TTA's support and commitment to our club’s growth. Thanks to their contribution, we can continue to provide a top-quality environment for everyone to improve.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to seeing you at the club soon!

We are extremely happy to tell our friends that our head coach James Wong led the U13 Boys NSW A team, which won the National Junior Championship U13 Boys Gold Medal. This victory became another history for Table Tennis NSW, following the gold medal by the U13 NSW A team in 2022 which was also led by James.

Our talented member Clare Liu earned an impressive Bronze Medal in the U21 Women’s Teams event, showcasing her exceptional skills and consistency. Additionally, our little star Josie, competed in the U11 Girls’ Teams category and secured 4th place. Congratulations to both Clare and Josie for their remarkable achievements! Their performances were truly inspiring and contributed to the overall success of NSW.

Furthermore, our member and youngest coach Atsuto played for the U15 Boys NSW A Team and won the Gold Medal.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. The club will resume opening from 20 July.

We hope you keep practising at home.

We are sorry to announce that our club won’t be able to move back to Kuring-Gai Town Hall in July.

Council notified that Town Hall renovation project will not finish on time due to the unexpected problems and repairs to be done.

Pymble Table Tennis Club will stay at West Pymble War Memorial Hall and continue our activities here until the construction project finishes.

Thank you for your support.

The letter from Council:

Dear Hirers

I have been awaiting a comprehensive update from the Project Manager regarding the progress of works at the Town Hall before reaching out to you. Unfortunately, there have been some unexpected developments that were not part of the original renovation plan. These include the need to excavate and replace the drainage around the Town Hall, regrouting of decorative stonework on the exterior of the building, and consideration by the Council to repaint the interior due to peeling paint. Given that the Town Hall is a heritage listed building, all renovations must first be authorized by a Heritage architect before proceeding.

Due to these outstanding works, the Town Hall will remain closed until further notice. Please be assured that we are making every effort to obtain the necessary approvals and complete the works as soon as possible.

In the mean time we have continued your bookings at the venue you are currently using. You will receive an email with dates and times of these bookings and if you have any queries, please contact us.

We will be keeping you informed as soon as we are advised of a new completion date for the renovations.

Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards
