Presidents Report
Will Goodier
Table Tennis Australia is positioned well to take advantage of the opportunities
which present themselves in 2014 and beyond. In saying that, the board has
decided to conduct a review of the organisation in 2014 to maximise the return to
the members. The guidelines include a review of the staffing structure and the cost
effectiveness of programmes.
I have been personally involved in developing a relationship with the Asian community and particularly
the Chinese table tennis community in China. I have been successful with a sponsorship deal worth
$100,000.00 for tables and equipment for TTA and spent time in China getting to know many of the
administrators running Chinese table tennis in the city’s and provinces.
The board made the decision last year to involve the Asian community and it is proved a very important
and strategic move as TTA now has sponsorship from local Chinese business and mainland Chinese
business people and is paving the way forward by improving the landscape of table tennis in Australia.
The events in Australia continue to be a challenge with some doing very well and others struggling to be
successful. While TTA needs to ensure the events are successful it is also important to attempt to keep a
high standard and presentation so the events are attractive to sponsors and provide high standards of
play the members expect. This year TTA is holding an ITTF challenge event for the Australian Open we
expect the standard to be high and even higher in the near future.
The Seagulls Club is still on the agenda even though it has been a long time in negotiation. By the time you
read this report I am hoping the club is up and running providing TTA with a National training centre and
vehicle to invite international teams and players leading up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the
Gold Coast.
The Presidents teleconferences are still proving to be an effective communication tool and many potential
problems are discussed with positive outcomes achieved. I feel the States are working more closely with
TTA and our direction is more aligned than ever before .I thank the State presidents and their boards for
their co-operation which is enabling table tennis to grow and flourish.
This year the Commonwealth Games is in Glasgow and TTA is well placed to do well and gain medals. It is
important to do well as the Australian Commonwealth Games Association is one of our major sponsors
and the Australian Sports Commission has made the Commonwealth games one of our bench mark events
for funding. A good result this year will be a stepping stone in our preparation for the 2018
Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
TTA’s Para programme remains the highest funded programme for TTA. The Australian Paralympic
Committee continues to provide fantastic support and with the new Oceania development officer based in
the TTA office it will enhance the programme further. Sue Stevenson continues to do exceptional work
and her advice and dedication are critical to the success of the programme.
The board of TTA is a good mix of skills and Graeme Ireland will be missed as he is not re-nominating this
year. I hope we get someone with similar skills and experience to replace Graeme so as to maintain the
balance. It has proved a valuable strategy to have 2 members with Asian heritage on the board as they
bring a different perspective to the debate. I thank the board members for their many hours of volunteer
work and hope it was as enjoyable for them as it was for me.

I thank Peter Marriott and staff for their work this year as our organisation is constantly evolving and
growing. This growth provides a lot of opportunities but also a lot of challenges. I feel we are managing
this growth well and the board is well aware of the pitfalls. The review this year will highlight any areas
we need to improve and work on to deliver better outcomes for the membership.
My role as President and Chair of TTA is rewarding and I look forward to the support of the membership
to continue to lead the organisation in the future. I am currently on the board of the Commonwealth
Games Association and the Oceania Table Tennis management Committee. Being on these boards gives
me a broad outlook and a more international perspective.
Lastly I thank all the volunteers who like the board of TTA do so much work for table tennis in Australia.
The presidents and boards of the States are the main source of inspiration to the membership and
collectively we can improve the image and direction of our sport so it grows and becomes a major
influence, not only in international competition but also as a recreational sport enjoyed by all cultures in
Australia.

CEO Report
Peter Marriott
It seems like every report which I write states how busy the year was and 2013
was no different. The highlight of 2013 was Australia holding the first ever Oceania
Para Regional Championships in Canberra in November 2013 which was a
culmination of 2 years planning since the decision by the ITTF for Oceania to
become its own region. I will speak more about this event later in this report.
Achievements in 2013
As mentioned above, Australia held the inaugural Oceania Para Regional Table Tennis Championships in
November at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. The Championships where a huge success both
on and off table thanks to the planning of Sue Stevenson and Bonnie Elliott in the TTA office and the work
of the competition manager and referee team lead by Steven Lee and David Delpratt. A big thank you to
all of the volunteers from ACT Table Tennis who without their efforts the work involved would have been
too great for the small TTA team. On table TTA qualified 5 athletes (Melissa Tapper class 10 women,
Nathan Pellissier class 8 men, Trevor Hirth class 6 men, Chris Addis class 4 men and James Kwon class 3
men) for the Para World Championships in 2014. This will be our biggest team ever attending a Para
World Championships. A special note needs to be added to recognise Victor Kamizona from New Zealand
qualifying for the World Championships in class 9, New Zealand’s first entry to the Para World
Championships.
Jens Lang as the High Performance Manager and National Head Coach continued to have good results on
table with William Henzell and Miao Miao both qualifying for their respective Individual World Cup’s by
winning the Oceania Cup in Bendigo. Our Australian Women’s and Men’s team both qualified for the
World Team Cup with our Women’s team winning through to the quarter-finals with a win over Poland.
Our junior teams qualified for the World Junior Championships and both teams achieved or improved on
their seeding position which was the first time in a number of years.
The participation program managed by Sue Stevenson (National Development and Inclusion Manager)
has continued to gain momentum around the country and as of early 2014 has project agreements in
every State and Territory in Australia. Membership in the sport has continued to rise with registered
members now standing at 10,392 and active participants totalling over 35,000.
Bonnie Elliott re-joined the team as the National Events Manager during the year and along with Kandice
Olivieri provided valuable assistance to the office. Roger Massie continues to do an outstanding job as the
Para Head Coach and is ably assisted by Alois Rosario as the Assistant Head Coach
Whilst the results of all the tournaments conducted during the year are contained later in this annual
report, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the State/Territory committees and volunteers who
hosted the major events during the year.

Congratulations to all of the players who competed in these events and a big thank you to all of the
Coaches and Managers for helping make these events possible.
Stakeholders:
In early 2013 the Australian Sports Commission introduced the “Australian Winning Edge” (AWE) which
set targets on Australia’s performances at World Championships, Olympic, Paralympic (including winter)
and Commonwealth Games. Each sport was evaluated against the AWE targets to determine the level of
funding the sport would receive. The two high performance programs of TTA were assessed and it was
decided that our Para program was a High Performance Program while our able bodied program was
seen as a “Whole of Sport’ program. Funding for the able program remained at $103,800 per year while
our Para program received a decrease in funding to $290,000.
Our Principle Funding Partner the Australian Sports Commission continues to support our sport not just
in the provision of finances but the support and resources given through their staff at the Sports
Commission is indispensable. A special thank you to our Partnership Manager Amanda Beehag, who has
continued to assist TTA throughout 2013.
The Australian Paralympic Committee continues to increase their support of Para Table Tennis, with
funding and resources which has ensured that every possible opportunity was given to our Para athletes.
The APC have also continued to assist TTA in developing a Classification pathway and courses for our
sport and has continued to help us develop and improve our Sports Science and Sports Medicine program
for our PPP athletes which would rival many other able and disabled programs around the country.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the tireless efforts of the Australian Commonwealth Games
Association. The ACGA continues to provide financial resources to the sport of Table Tennis to allow our
athletes to prepare for the Commonwealth Games. The ACGA has also provided much needed funds to
assist in sending the Australian Junior Team to the World Junior Championships.
The Australian Olympic Committee also contributed funding towards international competitions during
2013.
Looking Ahead:
2014 will be a massive year for TTA and its players. The Glasgow Commonwealth Games will be held from
the 23rd July to the 3rd August with the players also attending the Oceania Cup and Championships, World
Championships, Australia Open and National Championship before they head to Glasgow. Our Para
players will also be attending international events to build up tournament credit points as they prepare
for RIO and our 4 players mentioned previously will attend the Para World Championships in Beijing in
September. Our junior players will also be busy as they try and qualify for the Youth Olympic Games in
China during August. This qualification will be through an Australian qualification tournament in March
and then an Oceania tournament in May.
Last but not least the Australian veteran players will be descending on Auckland, NZ in May for the World
Veterans Championships.
In closing I would like to thank Will Goodier and all of the TTA Board for their support of the staff of TTA
and also thank all of the National Committee members for their tireless efforts in improving the sport.

Australian Sports Commission Message
Message from the Australian Sports Commission
The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) has two core goals - ensuring Australian athletes excel in the
international sporting arena, and increasing Australians’ participation in sport.
These two clear objectives are mutually reinforcing – international success inspires Australians to
participate in sport, and greater participation helps nurture our future champions. Sport not only inspires
and unites; it also promotes community involvement, cohesion and active lifestyles.
Australians are inspired by success on the world sporting stage – it’s central to who we are as a
nation. The 2012 London Olympics showed that the standards required for elite international success
keep increasing relentlessly. Traditional competitors keep getting better, and rising countries have
become forces to be reckoned with in many of our stronghold sports. If we want to continue to enjoy the
success we expect, we need to respond to this new environment in circumstances where Government
funding for high performance sport is likely to be constrained at current levels.
This means we need to raise the bar ourselves in everything we do in high performance sport - our talent
identification and development, coaching, sports science, use of technology and innovation, and the
management and administration structures that support our athletes. It is fundamental to success that we
set the same standards of excellence and accountability in all of these areas that we expect of our athletes
on competition day. The ASC, which is investing a record $170 million this year in high performance
programs, has the responsibility to ensure that we have high performance support structures in place to
enable high performance sporting success. We have significant work to do on these fronts. Our partner
sports can expect much sharper focus by the ASC in future on best practice governance and
administration, intellectual property ownership, athlete management and support structures and general
accountabilities by the sports.
Despite recent events that have impacted upon the integrity of sport, it is important to emphasise that our
commitment to elite international sporting success will never compromise our commitment to integrity
in sport. Our belief in, and requirement for sports to uphold, the values of fair and honest competition is
inviolable.
Importantly, the ASC is investing $120 million this year to promote grassroots participation in sport
throughout Australia and to continue a suite of successful national programs such as the Active Afterschool Communities program. Increased community sport participation has a profound long term
dividend, and remains a vital objective of the ASC notwithstanding the challenges in high performance
sport.
The ASC looks forward to working in collaboration with the sport sector to encourage more people into
sport and to drive Australia’s continued sporting success.

State / Territories Reports
Tasmanian Table Tennis Association Inc.
President – David Nettleton
2013 was a year which saw TTTA working across its fields of responsibility with great cohesion and
efficiency.
I would like though to focus on three aspects for this report.
Firstly; Tournaments
This year saw the general establishment of computer generated tournaments. For this development we
have to thank David Clark not only for his preparedness to travel to tournaments outside Launceston, but
his expertise in running the programme. All aspects of tournament organisation and administration are
improved as a result, and there can be no return to the old ways of running tournaments.
Secondly; Junior Development
We have had a junior development programme in place for several years, and each year has seen
progress, but this year saw a quantum leap in the standard of performance at the National Juniors and in
our National Rankings. Well done to all those involved-the coaches, the players and the supportive
parents.
Thirdly, The Clubs
I have not mentioned them in any of my previous reports, but this year I believe the work done at all of
our affiliates deserves highlighting.
Devonport for its amazing growth and development, Northern Suburbs for making the giant move to new
headquarters and its continued progress, Eastside for hanging tough and beating the odds, Southern for
continuing to be the Association flagship and working with TTTA in its programmes, Northern for State
League and new leadership, Burnie for overcoming flawlessness and becoming reinvigorated, and last but
not least, Deloraine for its continuing efforts with adjusting to circumstances. TTTA had cordial and
productive relations with its affiliates. Of even greater significance is that three clubs – Northern Suburbs,
Devonport and Deloraine - have been working with TTA’s Sue Stevenson to set in motion programmes to
facilitate AWD participation. It is great to see our Branches becoming directly involved with the National
body and National programmes. It is my hope that is only a beginning of such involvement.
Other matters of significance include the acceptance of our turn to hold the National Veterans’ in 2014. To
this end, I invited Ian Weller to Chair the organising committee. He accepted, for which we all should be
very grateful, and the Committee met several times during the year and plans are well in train for a
successful tournament.
Roger Massie worked hard to complete the Sport and Recreation grant in time, during which he
successfully met the outcomes that needed delivering under the terms of the Grant.
Once again, thanks to Chris Honner at Sport and Rec for always being on hand to proffer advice and
assistance when we needed it.
The Board met several times during the year, usually through a phone hook-up courtesy of David Wilson’s
office and all Directors carried out their roles to good effect. Andrew Lockwood, as a first year Director,
deserves special mention, and a long and productive career as a leader of the sport is ahead of him.
75
Council was better attended this year with most clubs represented at the 3 meetings. It is the most
important body within our Constitution, so it is to be hoped that all clubs take this responsibility of
attendance seriously and send delegates.
We cannot let the loss of the Goodsell family go without an enormous thank you to them for their
contribution to table tennis over the past decade. We hope it is not a total severance, and Maddy can
continue to represent us in National tournaments for another year. Either way we wish her continued
success and the family well in Victoria.
Finally, thanks to those who did the bulk of the work again this year, and best wishes to all for 2014.
76
Western Australian Table Tennis Association
State Delegate – Irwin Parker
2013 was a difficult year for the Association in that the crucial portfolios of Match and Tournament
Directors were unfilled most of the year. This placed an additional burden on David Cooper and Bob Lake
both of were laid low with ill health during the year. Bob Lake is to be commended for staying in the job
until the end of May when Irwin Parker reluctantly took over the job. He had not planned to do so as he
had prearranged an extensive amount of travel. An attempt to fill the position only met with limited
success as the appointee left before the probation period expired. However as positive he did make a start
on the work on setting up an e-mail communication system. More recently the Association has appointed
Linda Bell as Executive Director.
In the absence of a Tournament Director Irwin Parker took on the overall responsibility for running the
West Coast and State Championships. It would not have been possible to cope with this without the
assistance of Helen Valentine, Verona Johnstone, Lyn Nolan and Dave Cooper who dragged himself out a
sick bed to collate state entries and do the draw. Additionally the task of running the Grand Prix’s was
spread between Dave, Bob and Irwin. In late 2013 the Match Director’s position was taken up by Adrian
Reeves but the all-important Tournament portfolio still remains vacant. In the absence of a Match
Director for most of the year some problems were encountered mainly in relation to fixturing. However
with appointment of Adrian Reeves from the start of Spring Pennants things seem to have settled down.
Chris Marsh continues to fulfil the Official Scorers position with aplomb.
In addition to their assistance with the tournaments the ladies under Chairman Helen Valentine were
responsible for very productive fund raising activities including two sausage swizzles and raffles. These
funds were used to subsidise the State Junior teams. Also after some early hiccups the 75 th Anniversary
Dinner and trophy presentation held on 23 November was a success although numbers were a little
disappointing.
David Brown as Coaching Director has worn several other hats, including his heavy involvement with
Athletes with Disabilities, so much so that one of his athletes is in an Australian development squad and
maybe a possible candidate to compete at the Rio Paralympics. In that regard congratulations are
extended to Connor Johnston on his selection in the Australian team that went to Thailand. Additionally
David conducted 5 Junior Graded Tournaments and two schools tournaments and conducted numerous
active after school sessions. Also he ran a level 0 coaching accreditation course which resulted in 9 new
coaches. A visit by national coach Jens Lang was well coordinated by Lyn Nolan
Long standing State Junior coach Dennis Chen was replaced by Craig Campbell and newly arrived Alvin
Jiang was appointed senior coach. As a result of the enthusiasm of these two coaches participation in
coaching sessions was greatly increased. Western Australian participation in the National (senior)
championship was only second to the host state. Three Men’s, One Women’s and an under 21 Women’s
team were entered. Bronze medals were won By Katy Valentine and Holly Nicolas in the under Women’s
Doubles. Holly performances led to her selection in the team to compete in the Oceania championships in
New Caledonia As Western Australia is due to host the Australian National Championship in 2014 it was
pleasing that we had such a strong representation.
Again Western Australia was well represented at the Junior Championship and I must compliment Verona
Johnstone for her efforts in managing the teams. The under 15 girls won a bronze medal and team
members Holly Nicolas and Katy Valentine were listed in the order of merit as was Daniel Trang and Pan
Yi. This year the Veterans stole the thunder by winning the over 40 team’s event. This is the fifth team
title achieved by WA in National Championships and the second for the 40’s. Team members Craig
Campbell, Jeff Drew, Greg Letts and Russell Stein are to be congratulated on their efforts.
77
Webmaster Otti Beerli saw through with the help of Namoi Jensen the setting up of the new Association
website. This will always be a work in progress as additional information is posted and improvements
made. Otti was also the driving force behind the development of a new constitution for the Association.
However as an alternative constitution was put up at the AGM by a member neither versions received the
required 75% majority. Quite a lot of extra work is therefore still required in this area.
Greg Letts continued his record stint as editor of 11UP which he prepares on a professional basis.
Additionally Greg assisted in the coaching of our juniors and was ever willing to provide support to the
office in the computing area. Phil Ranger (Snr) continues to look after the junior club and he has guided
many a junior to serious competition. Notably through the Morley club Phil has encouraged many juniors
to participate in the pennant competitions
Apart from the Board members there were, many other volunteers to numerous to name including
Charles Ellwood, Lindsay Mee and Maureen Hooper. Maureen has looked after and nurtured our gardens
for years and the results speak for themselves. Charles has assisted in numerous ways, not the least of
which has been his regular contribution in putting together 11Up. Lindsay has also been a tower of
strength. His efforts to brighten up the appearance of the Centre and improve it have not gone unnoticed.
The Association made a profit of $26418 which was well up on last year’s profit of $6984. The increase in
profit was mainly due to the $13868 profit on hosting the Australian Junior Championship and the
$12,477 increase in centre profit. I would like to thank our Canteen Manager, Peter Mascall, for his efforts
in managing the Centre. Peter McKenzie continued as the centre cleaner and by cleaning well outside
normal opening hours has allowed for greater utilisation of the Centre.
Core funding from the Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) was maintained at $16,000 and will be
maintained in 2013/14. Also the DSR provided a $10,000 grant toward the hosting of the Australian
Junior Championships and additional funding of in excess of $9,000 has been provided for country
enrichment scholarships, a ‘Sport Recreators’ project and for the development of a strategic plan.
Development funding from Healthway for the 2013 calendar year amounted at $13,000. Additionally
Heathway continued to provide $2,500 sponsorship for the State Championship. Future funding has been
tied into calendar years with $16,000 being approved for the 2014 calendar year. Healthway income was
supplemented by the ASC’S ‘Active After School’ program which complements the development activities
of the Healthway program.
This excellent support received from the Department of Sport and Recreation, from Healthway has been
most appreciated. However the support from the Town of Victoria Park in relation to facilities has been
well less than desired. They have now backed away from an earlier commitment to assist us with a new
venue.
The Association net contribution toward state team travel and entry fee expenses amounted to $22,387 of
which of which approximately $4,000 was provided by the Associations fund raising committee. Overall
the Association is in a very sound financial position with current working capital (Current Assets less
Current liabilities) in excess of $76,000 and having over $24,000 in the Centre Fund which will be needed
if we ever secure a new venue.
78
ACT Table Tennis Association
President – Glenys Joliffe
This will be my last report as President. At the outset, I want to thank everyone for their amazing
commitment to Table Tennis in and beyond the A.C.T. - as players, coaches, administrators and volunteers
of all kinds.
Membership numbers
Our Membership in 2013 reached 351 – the highest annual total for many years.
Thanking A.C.T. Department of Sport & Recreation
Thank you very much to Sport & Recreation Services for their continued support for Table Tennis A.C.T.
over the years.
New Greenway Centre (in Tuggeranong)
After many years of hard work by many people, at long last we received the opportunity to expand to an
additional venue at Greenway (in Tuggeranong region). TTACT began using the new venue, initially at
two sessions per week, in the latter half of 2013.
At the new Tuggeranong Archery Centre in Greenway – an additional venue for table tennis
A.C.T. Open Championships
We ran a very successful A.C.T. Open, with many entries from interstate – mainly from NSW.
Thanks go to players from TTNSW for their support (the first interstaters to use the new venue in
Tuggeranong). The NSW players seemed to be impressed by the venue and expressed interest in
returning next year.
Thanks also to Referee Stephen Gillespie who gave excellent critical feedback which we were able to learn
from. Thanks go to David Swanton and his large team including Rob Crowdy and Paul Hendriks.
79
Some of the NSW winners at the successful A.C.T. Open
National Veterans Table Tennis Championships
The National Veterans Championships in Darwin were enjoyed by all. A.C.T. players put in excellent
performances. Trevor Taylforth achieved a ranking of 5 th in the Over 60’s Men Order of Merit. Wen Ung
defeated Max Wellington (later ranked 4 th in Order of Merit) in the Over 50’s Men team’s event; and
finished 6th in the Order of Merit. Bryan Harper gained 8th place in the Order of Merit in the Over 50’s
Men.
Our Veterans celebrate their achievements in Darwin
Secondary Schools Championships
At Kingston Table Tennis Centre in early August 2013, the successful running of our Annual (A.C.T.)
Secondary Table Tennis Championships saw the debut of Alfred Deakin High School, and the retirement
of stalwart Mark Turnbull of Lyneham High School.
Arthur Wilks’ Book Launch
The very successful launch of the History of Table Tennis in the A.C.T. brought together many players
from previous eras as well as those still competing.
80
Athletes with Disabilities
The Lyneham High School program continued every Monday, with thanks to Patrick Horn, Paul Keese and
Hannah Keese. Rosanna Horn co-ordinated a new Saturday program alternating between the Kingston
Centre and the Tuggeranong Archery Centre in Greenway. I would like to make special mention of
Rosanna’s work in setting up new programs like this, educating locals about AWD, and getting us involved
nationally and internationally, for example the recent Oceania Regional Championships.

Thanks to our Sponsor and our Patron
Our generous sponsor Paul Pinkewich and our innovative patron Sue Marriage were once again
extremely valuable to our Association.
Thank you to our own people
Thanks to the Board members for their vast and varied efforts. I will be thanking them personally but
would like to take the opportunity here to make their very valuable contributions known:
 The Competitions Committee, especially Lyn Rainforest, deserves our deepest gratitude for such
a fine ongoing competition experience for players at all levels.
 New people have joined the AWD Working Group of their own accord - this is greatly
appreciated.
 Song Chen, Centre Manager is a rock.
 Bill Hawkins (and his marvellous wife), Greenway Centre Manager, has been crucial to the
operation of a new venue for table tennis in the south part of A.C.T. in Tuggeranong.
To all members, I wish to thank you for your wonderful support (personally and as volunteers) over the
past 25 years, when I have held executive positions with TTACT. This has been an important part of my
life and you have all given me strong and fond memories to savour as I continue volunteering as long as
possible with veterans, AWD and Schools programs.
Glenys Joliffe – President, Signing off
81
Table Tennis Queensland
President – Trevor Barrett
The year 2013 proved to be one of significant change for Table Tennis Queensland (TTQ) in a number
of different aspects of our operation. Probably the most significant of these changes occurred when our
then Executive Officer, Derek Scott, advised the Board of his decision to tender his resignation. Derek
had done a commendable job for TTQ, particularly in the area of guiding the Board to develop and put
in place the considerable amount of documentation that is needed for the successful management of an
Incorporated Association such as TTQ. While to the general membership such documentation may
seem trivia l, it is vitally important for our ability to gain funding, and to meet our various legal
obligations as an organisation. Derek was also instrumental during his final year in putting in place
mechanisms to enable TTQ to take greater control in the organisation and running of our own
tournaments, and to bring about more consistency in the organisation and the management of these
events. While still in trial, our new structures seem to be successful. Finally, the various annual reports
detailing Derek’s time with TTQ are clear testimony to his achievements, and I would like to take this
opportunity on behalf of all TTQ members to formally recognise Derek’s contributions to Table Tennis
in Queensland.
Change is a natural part of the development cycle of any organisation if it is to continue to make
positive growth. Derek’s departure led to an extensive interview process, after which the Board was
pleased to appoint Jason Walsh as our new Executive Officer. As many would know, Jason was our
Regional Club Coordinator in the South-Eastern region, and consequently already had considerable
insight into the workings of TTQ. Jason’s appointment also provided the opening for Cameron
McDonald to assume the vacant Regional Club Coordinator’s role, a role to which he has readily
adapted.
I would like to commend the Moreton Bay Association for staging an inaugural Women’s National Table
Tennis Challenge in September 2013. The event was the first of its kind in Queensland and was a great
success, so much so that it will be part of the annual TTQ calendar.
Membership
Membership figures for 2013 showed a slight decrease on the previous year from 1840 to 1762. However,
12 (50%) of our clubs showed an increase in members on the previous year. Brisbane Table Tennis
Association has reclaimed the largest club in the state title (225), followed close behind by a resurgent
Wynnum (187).
Club membership grew from 23 to 24 with Maleny Table Tennis Club joining TTQ.
The Queensland schools again had a record number of teams and schools participate with 127 teams (254
participants) from 35 schools across four events at Gold Coast, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Cairns. My
thanks go to all of the volunteers who gave up their time to help in running these events. Again we are
continuing to look at expanding this event in 2014 perhaps introducing a fifth venue depending upon
demand.
People
There was one State Referee course held in Brisbane, this was presented by Dave Delpratt with the assistance
of Graeme Ireland. Also one Association Umpire Course was held during 2013 in Moreton Bay, this course
was presented by Mick McShane.
There were two Tops Coaching Courses offered in 2013, run by Cathy Townsend, State Coaching Director. My
thanks to all of our presenters for their efforts during 2013.
82
The introduction of the new Tops Award has continued to see a large increase in the number of coaches
becoming accredited. In 2013 a new State Referee award was introduced. This award has been introduced
to assist referees continue toward national accreditation by gaining experience at the various Queensland
state championships.
Development
In 2013 we welcomed Cameron McDonald as our new Regional Club Coordinator for the South-East
Queensland area.
A series of State Training Camps were organised at various venues across the state (often in conjunction
with coaching courses) and were generally a success. Based on this, a series of events have been
organised for 2014 to extend this program.
Two clubs were selected by TTA for Federal Government participation funding to develop their Culturally and
Linguistically Diverse (CALD) programs: Brisbane and Toowoomba. Both clubs have gained new equipment
and improved programs for CALD participants through this funding.
Governance
The 2013 Annual General Meeting (AGM) brought about some changes to the TTQ Board of Management
with Terry Morato filling the position vacated by Paul Uttley.
During 2013 the Board of Management developed, reviewed or updated the following governance
documentation: Constitution & Bylaws, Risk Management documentation, State Coach Selection Policy,
Governance Policies, Code of Conduct, Equity Policy and Statement.
Finance
TTQ received government funding of $184,000 (+GST) in 2013 in funding, split across core funding and Local
Sport and Recreation Jobs Plan Funding.
The core funding is guaranteed until the end of 2013 and increased in line with CPI until this time. The
Jobs Plan Funding similarly is guaranteed until mid-2014 and again will increase in line with CPI.
Towards the end of 2013 TTQ applied for funding to the Queensland Government through the Queensland
Sport and Recreation Industry Development Program 2014-2016. TTQ have secured funding of $129,800
each year for 2014- 2016. This is a great result and will secure the development of Table Tennis in
Queensland for future.
Conclusion
Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the countless volunteers in our associations who work tirelessly at
our clubs and events, and whose efforts really do provide the back-bone of our sport. I encourage all
clubs to continue to recognise and value your volunteers.
I would also like to recognise the efforts of our staff, namely Jason Walsh, Karen Carruthers, Cameron
McDonald and Alexi Sachlikidis, and also the members of the Board of TTQ for the efforts that you have
made throughout 2013 to promote the sport of table tennis in Queensland.
83
Table Tennis Victoria
President – Phillip Carruthers
TTV has had a remarkable year as a sporting body and as a membership organisation. Our playing
membership has passed 4,000 for the first time, an increase of 5%, and we now have 46 affiliated
associations, some of which have multiple clubs.
On the close of 2013 we de-commissioned our membership system in preparation for introduction of a
new membership system, now in early days of implementation, which provides us with a modern
marketing tool and with key data to run our business. It also provides us with specific table tennis
capabilities to allocate rating points to players which they can access in graphic form via the
web. Tournament software which is linked to both the membership and player points’ modules is well
developed and should be implemented in the next six months.
Our Finance and Audit Committee continues to provide strategic financial direction and we will achieve a
healthy surplus this year. On the cusp of 2014 we also upgraded our financial system to Xero, which we
are finding just as capable as MYOB, but easier to use. At the same time we have adopted a strategy of
using an external accounting firm to assist us on a regular basis with financial accounting.
Our enhanced grant performance in 2012 and 2013 assisted in obtaining new financial grants and project
funding including a substantial ‘Access All Abilities’ grant for 2 years, and we have undertaken a number
of initiatives, particularly with regard to CALD participants. Grants to review membership and to conduct
coaching were also received. We thank the Victorian government and in particular the support of our
outgoing Minister, Hugh Delahunty, and Sport and Recreation Victoria for having faith in our ability to
deliver.
The approach of the Board in becoming more strategic and empowering the CEO and staff to attend to
operational matters has continued to produce results, with more timely operational decisions and a
broader approach by the Board to policy issues. The Board re-affirmed its policy of providing the
opportunity for affiliates to conduct major championships, rather than having TTV run these events and
we have seen affiliates, particularly Croydon and Ballarat this year, run excellent and profitable events.
TTV adopted a new Constitution in 2013. It was necessary to do this to comply with changes in the
Victorian Association Act, and to tidy up a few areas which had become outdated. The changes were
passed unanimously.
Another significant improvement in 2013 was in branding of the organisation. We were fortunate to have
a major advertising agency provide us with pro bono assistance with this branding which flows across all
mediums, including our new state uniforms for 2014.
Any players and officials visiting Melbourne are welcome to visit our office at the Melbourne Sports Hub.

Table Tennis New South Wales
President – Dennis O’Brien
2013 saw the first totally sponsored National Tournament held in Sydney. Whilst the idea of a fully
sponsored tournament is a good one the terms and conditions need to be clear from the beginning. As
with most events there were hiccups and hurdles to overcome. The actual tournament went well and
from the players perspective was successful. This was mainly due to the tireless efforts of the organising
committee.
It is fair to say that some of the arrangements from TTA fell short of expectations and this was largely
responsible for a significant impact on our finances.
TTNSW has continued to grow our membership base in two areas:
1. Our Affiliated Clubs and associations now total in excess of 50 which is a doubling of our numbers in
the last 5 years.
2. The decision, with the approval of TTA, to include a Social Membership category has given us in excess
of 1500 Social Members. We look forward to further expanding our base in the coming years
Again our representative players gave their all and did NSW proud. We have a number of up and coming
players which bodes well for our future results in both National and International competition.
It must always be remembered that we are a small sport with minimal financial support from
Governments or sponsors. There are many areas we could improve upon which greater financial support
would allow us to promote.
It is with regret that we advise that Dot De Low, a tremendous asset to our sport, passed away recently at
the age of 103. She continued to play our game until a few weeks before our passing. What a great
advertisement she was for our sport.
We look forward to an even better year for our sport Australia wide in 2014.

Table Tennis South Australia
President – Chris Leonard
Whilst contemplating writing this report and looking back at previous years I was surprised to find that I
have now been President for 12 years which of course means that this is my 12th Annual Report and each
one seems to become more difficult to write – however I am pleased to report on some positive
developments throughout this year.
Looking back, at the 2002 AGM there were only four directors elected to hold positions on the board
which obviously left a large number of portfolios shared among a small number of directors. Several
directors were appointed during 2003 and over the years more people have come on board to assist with
table tennis at state level and we now have almost a complete board with only two portfolios unfilled.
Constitution
At the 2013 AGM changes to the constitution were submitted for consideration along with a
recommendation from the Board on the acceptability of those changes. There was much criticism of the
way that the changes had been presented and therefore none of those changes were accepted This matter
has been discussed by the Board and it was decided that rather than resubmitting any changes to the
constitution that the constitution would be reviewed and updated. This will be done during 2014 and if
ready will be submitted to the 2015 AGM.
New Directors
At the beginning of the year we welcomed Bill Schenk as our Schools Director and lost John Potter as a
Director due to time commitments. The most important addition to the Board came in December with the
appointment of Andrew Muecke as Finance Director. This appointment has the added bonus of
considerably reducing the workload of Ann Percy who had been doing the Finance in conjunction with
the Executive Directors role since Sally Potter retired from the Board. It is early days yet for Andrew with
a lot to learn in his new position and I wish him well. Bill Schenk on the other hand has had more time to
settle in and seems to be handling his role very well and brings another important perspective to board
discussions.
Strategic Plan 2013 – 2017
With the absence of a Policy & Planning Director and the need for a new Strategic Plan to be prepared the
Board took on the task of preparing Table Tennis South Australia’s Strategic Plan which would cover the
next three years with a view that the long term vision is one that is in perpetuity. Paul Langley took the
reins as facilitator and prepared the ground work for the Board to participate in a number of workshops
to review, consider and then determine the content of the new plan with each board member contributing
relevant items regarding their particular portfolios. My thanks to Paul for the enormous amount of time
he has put into the preparation and subsequent writing of the plan and its implementation. It is expected
that, unlike in previous years, the board will monitor the plans progress with each director submitting
monthly reports to the board with reference to what they have achieved as their part of the plan.
TTA
We continue to have regular contact with the national body not only through the AGM and conference,
which will again be held in Adelaide this year, but through teleconferences held regularly throughout the
year. These teleconferences are conducted by the TTA President and include the TTA CEO and each of the
State Presidents. They are very informative sessions and allow the state Presidents to be kept up to date
with TTA plans and for TTA to also seek feedback on those plans. This initiative was begun by TTA
President Will Goodier several years ago and has continued to provide a much improved communication
stream form TTA to its Voting Members.
86
Communication
We are continually trying to improve our communication with our affiliates either personally or through
our website. Communication is a two way street and it is sometimes necessary for the affiliates to initiate
contact where a problem exists or it is thought that assistance from TTSA may be required. Help cannot
be forthcoming if there is no communication.
High Performance
We continue to finance and support a high performance squad for training and developing our future elite
players. Under the guidance of Paul Langley the development program continues to bring success to the
state (and is the last sole centrally co-ordinated training facility in Australia with private enterprise now
the key training provider in other states – which creates another dimension of challenges for the creation
of athlete pathways) and is a credit to Paul and his team (assistants, parents and administration) and of
course the players concerned.
Tournaments
Although there were no national championships scheduled in SA this year we have continued to make
plans for the improvement of our local events. We will soon have entry forms available on line through
our website (not just downloadable but forms that can be completed online) and, it is hoped, tournament
management will soon be by computer with all the advantages that that will bring. We have also been fine
tuning the Tournament regulations relating to the conduct of tournaments by affiliates which provide a
clear understanding of what is required for each affiliate to comply with state regulations in order for the
tournament results to be considered for state team selection and state rankings.
Development Officer
Kay Crowell has continued in the role of part time development officer and represented TTSA at various
community and school events as well as promotional events where we have received a request for table
tennis to participate. Kay has also been involved in developing schools programs with local councils, most
notably the City of Salisbury. When Kay does these events we try to engage with local clubs or
associations so they can recruit new players to their clubs to build and develop the game of Table Tennis
– however this has been a challenge in the City of Salisbury area. I implore our affiliates to get behind
these programs as there is a significant amount of benefit to local clubs. As part of our strategic plan, one
of the four strategic priorities is to develop and enhance the community aspect of Table Tennis, and
programs like this are integral part of the enhancement of the game with benefits to the local community,
affiliates and the game in general.
Marketing
Our new marketing director (Alex Vanderklugt) has been progressing with our plan to make contact (and
in some instances re-connect) with non-affiliated table tennis clubs and associations in order to
encourage them to consider affiliation with TTSA by outlining the advantages on offer. Alex has also
prepared our face book page and contributed ideas towards the improvement of our website which
remains a work in progress as far as improvements are concerned.
As part of this Annual Report you will find individual reports submitted by each of the directors detailing
their activities during the year and highlighting what they have in mind for the coming year. I would like
thank each of the board members for their work during the year and commend them for their efforts. It is
an unfortunate fact that some portfolios are more onerous than others which means that some of the
board members work harder than others on TTSA matters but all of them tend to also work for table
tennis in other areas. Why do they do it? Well it’s certainly not for the money or the glory or the acclaim
they receive. Very often their efforts remain unacknowledged at best or at worst criticised by their peers.
As I have said before we must all remember that their services are given freely and for the love of the
sport. Without each and every one of them and their contemporaries at affiliate level there would be no
table tennis.
87
The Future
At the time of writing this report it is my understanding that at least one nomination for the position of
President will be received and with that in mind I have decided that the time has come for me to step
aside and leave the hard work to a younger, fitter and certainly healthier person. It has been my pleasure
to have served the sport I love and work with many other people who share my enthusiasm and passion
for the sport. I have made many friends in table tennis through the years and I hope that I may still be
able to participate in some way in the years to come.
