Come and have fun!
Want to come and have a game of table tennis?
Please read the COVID-19 information on the home page.
Members of the public are most welcome to come along and join in with social play most mornings of the week. Social morning groups normally play doubles (prior to COVID-19) and there is no need to bring someone along with you. Bats & balls are available for loan. Our friendly member in charge on the morning will be able to provide you with any advice you need.

Table Tennis Victoria (ttv) History Project
TTVs New History Group
The following text is adapted from a letter sent by TTV to affiliates on 7 August 2020:
"During 2025 Table Tennis Victoria (formerly Victorian Table Tennis Association) will celebrate its centenary year. As part of its plans to mark this very significant milestone, TTV has set up the “TTV History Group” which has been tasked with writing a history of the first 100 years of the VTTA/TTV. The members of this group are Bob Tuckett (Chair), John Alder, Andrew Cornell, Martin Elliget, Chris Mainland, Jim Montgomery and Brian Zammit.
The History Group wishes to tap into the vast mine of information held by players, officials, and volunteers, past and present, in Victoria (and elsewhere) which will be critical to the success of the project.
MPTTA therefore encourages its Members to assist the History Group now (and over the next few years leading up to 2025) via:
Facebook page at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/850543431660756 or the
TTV website section on the History Group at
https://www.tabletennisvic.org.au/news/ttvs-new-history-group-/ or
Email historyttv@gmail.com
TTV has provided an initial history of table tennis in Victoria which may be found at
