OOAK Table Tennis Forum :: Melbourne

Hi ZApenholder. I am in Melbourne. It depends on where in Melbourne you will be as its quite a large city. But if you get out to the South East my club at Dandenong re-opens late January. Be great to see you there.

Ok. I can be there I think. I'll try to be around 2pm then.

Is that you in the Blue in the pics ZA?

Wow zap is coming to town. Are you still here?
I'm currently studying in melbourne. Would love to go around with you to know more about TT.

I live in bouverie st, carlton.
Do you also live in melbourne?

Its a shame we didn't get to meet ZA. I looked around for you on the Monday night, but I assume you didn't make it there.

Geswin, where in Melbourne are you?

Yep. I play at Dandenong. I have played at MSAC a few times, but I'm not fond of it and its a fair distance away.

It was quite far from my place to dandenong. Was it still in zone2? Or its way further?
There was a friend of mine used to play at junior level in dandenong

My "diary" from 21 Jan 2014 I had the honour of visiting MSAC today, the home of Table Tennis Victoria as well as HWATT (Health Wellness And Table Tennis). I met Simon Gerada, also the program manager and he allowed me to fit in with the holiday training program, the afternoon session from 2pm to 5pm today. They have a 3 to 4 week program of 6 hours a day - 7 days a week, including state and international players. I am very impress with HWATT facilities, coaching staff and residence players. There was also an invitational Korean cadet/junior team. I witness some top quality and more importantly - hard working players, especially a young lad by the name of William, 14 years old from Tasmania. I also met New Zealand young starlet Sophia Dong. I rate HWATT as one of the best Table Tennis training centres I've been to in the world (and I've been to quite a few!) Thank you again to Simon and the management of HWATT, keep up the good work.

I can't remember if I sms you or not now.... I thought I did message you that I can't go on that Monday evening.... I'm so sorry There was just wasn't enough time, as I also didn't even hook up with Heming and William. Did go to MSAC 3 times, and Crayton 1 time. Was at Dandenong 2 times, but 1 time was in the parking lot and finding out from Heming his partner postpone the training by an hour. I think I should go to Melbourne again on a TT working holiday haha I really enjoy Mel a lot
