Anyone here play table tennis in Canberra, Australia?
Any advice on the table tennis scene there would be appreciated.
I'd like to play at a local club, and maybe enter in competitions as well if possible.

Hey poor knight. You've been a bit underwhelmed with responses to this post! If you have a look at the following link, it will point you to contacts for Table Tennis ACT.

I get down to ACT occasionally. Happy to arrange a hit up next time I'm there if you like.

G'day Andrefox

thanks, yeah I guess not too many people here are from Canberra! 8)

I did manage to locate the ACT Table Tennis Centre...nice facilities but 5 tables for 315 members???? ouch!

I also had a hit with Brian Peppy, the Competition Director and am in the reserves for divisions 3 and 4.

Aside from lack of tables, no one I know in Canberra plays table tennis so I'd be happy to have a hit if you come by this way.

After being out of it for 20 years, the more chance I have to play the better.

Cheers
Poor Knight

Hi Poor Knight,

Five tables for 315 members? They must have competition everyday, to accomodate all those players!

Here in Daylesford we have about 30 plus members and we have 6 tables. We hold competition once a week. But the skilled players would only be about 5 or so. To get more competition I go to Ballarat (50 km. away from here).

If ever you find yourself in this neck of the woods, the club is available for a hit. We are always looking for good players to practice with.

Hi Arlene,

thanks for your offer! I'd love to drop by.
The drive to Daylesford will probably be shorter than waiting for a free table in Canberra!

6 tables for 30 members! *drool* fantastic!

I guess it's the penalty for living in Canberra....originally from Victoria myself *sigh*

Great! Make it a week-end and we can spend as much time as needed to to play/practice table tennis.

There is also another keen player who is my sparring partner. He uses a J-pen blade with inverted rubber and he blocks very quick and has a good defense. He also runs a B&B, so accomodation won't be a problem.

PM me if ever you are in the area.
