Table Tennis Victoria (ttv) History Project

TTV News History Project

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.

MFTTA therefore encourages its Members to assist the History Group now (and over the next few years leading up to 2025) via:

TTV has provided an initial history of table tennis in Victoria which may be found at
