The Waitakere Table Tennis Association has upgraded all of our Club Rackets in time for the 2025 playing season to Double Fish 236A ITTF-approved Table Tennis Rackets.

Thank you to Synergy Sports in New Lynn for filling our bulk order so quickly 🙂

Any member who is looking to purchase their own racket may also purchase this dual-set, International Table Tennis Association (ITTF) approved racket package from Synergy Sports in New Lynn (just please make sure you name your Racket so it doesn’t get mixed up with the WTTA Club Rackets on WTTA Club Night).

NB: Please show your green WTTA Membership Card in-store at Synergy Sports New Lynn, and Synergy Sports will give you 10% off the purchase price 🙂

Greetings,

A very convivial and enjoyable way to end 2024 at the Waitakere Table Tennis Association tonight, with club members enjoying a BBQ Sausage Sizzle, taking on the club’s Table Tennis Robot, copious amounts of chocolate and fizzy drinks, some sponsors’ spot prizes, and even some table tennis 🙂

The WTTA takes a break from next week, returning to Club Nights on Thursday 23/01/25 (6.30 pm – 9 pm).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our club sponsors for their valued and ongoing support, including Fresh Choice Glen Eden for sponsoring our club BBQ tonight:

Fiesta Cafe Glen Eden

Fresh Choice Glen Eden

Barfoot & Thompson Glen Eden

A big thank you must go to our weekly helpers, and our casual coaches – your input and support of the club is both noticed and highly appreciated.

All the very best for the Christmas and New Year break to all of our Waitakere Table Tennis Association players – see you on 23/01/25 🙂

Wow, were we at capacity tonight or what?

Our seventh table will be set up and ready to go from next week.

Congratulations to Yamoto (last week) and Therese (this week) for winning the Fiesta Coffee Competition tonight, Lilika for winning “Most Improved Female Player” and Bruce for winning “Most Improved Male Player” at the Waitakere Table Tennis Association (WTTA) Club Night tonight.

And then we had some of our “Generation Alpha” players taking a load off tonight, because, you know – school is tiring, and stuff.

The Waitakere Table Tennis Association (WTTA) will expand to 7 playing tables as from 3/5/24, making our club the largest privately-owned table tennis club in New Zealand.

Our club membership cap of 100 members has been extended to 120 members to accommodate (in part) a number of ongoing membership transfers from members of the Waitemata Table Tennis Association, and this cap will soon be reached.

Thank you to our members who not only support the club as players, but who also bring along their family members and friends to the club each week 🙂
