COFFS Table Tennis Club and Coffs Harbour Over-50s Table Tennis Club are celebrating the arrival of new equipment.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh joined enthusiastic club members at their Harbour Drive home as they tested out the table, a net/post set, and court surrounds.

Earlier this year, the clubs secured a $2500 NSW Government grant under the Local Sport Grant Program.

“It’s fantastic to be here at the home of table tennis in Coffs Harbour to share this exciting moment with the players and their supporters,” Mr Singh said.

“These are welcome upgrades which will be enormously beneficial for the clubs, and our community, for years to come.

“The Local Sport Grant Program is all about funding grassroots sport to help improve facilities, enhance accessibility and hold new events and programs.”

Coffs Table Tennis Club and the Over-50s Table Tennis Club are keen to facilitate future growth.

Members play throughout the week; Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6pm to 9pm, Saturday afternoon from 1pm to 4pm, and Sunday afternoon from 1pm to 4pm.
