Contact Us

Social Play:

We encourage a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Here's what we ask:

  • Neat and Tidy: Dress comfortably, but ensure your clothing is clean and presentable.
  • Non-Marking Shoes: Keep our courts pristine by wearing shoes that won't leave scuff marks.
  • Respectful Attire: Avoid clothing with offensive designs, lettering or logos.

Competition Play:

Stepping up your game? Take note of these additional guidelines:

  • All Social Play Rules Apply
  • Colour Contrast: Choose a shirt, shorts or skirt in a colour that clearly differs from the white table tennis ball. This ensures optimal visibility during play.
  • Final Call: If unsure about the suitability of your attire, two committee members will make a final decision, considering the players' ages and any potential limitations.

Membership Fee:

  • Annual membership is $35
  • Each play session is $6 for adults
  • $4 for school students
  • Group hire is negotiable.

Understanding the Game

Table tennis is all about strategic rallies! Here's a quick rundown of the basics:

  • Objective: Hit the ball over the net and land it on your opponent's side without them returning it successfully.
  • Scoring: Be the first to reach 11 points, but with a minimum two-point lead over your opponent. If the score ties at 10-10, "extra points" are played until one player achieves a two-point advantage. The player who wins a rally scores the point, regardless of who served.
  • Matches: The number of games per match is flexible, but agree on this beforehand!
  • Serving (Singles): Each player serves two consecutive times before switching to the opponent. During "extra points," serve changes after each point.
