Social play and practice sessions are Mondays 7pm to 9pm and Thursdays 5pm to 7pm and Fridays 5pm to 7pm. All members are welcome to these sessions. When it is busy, we run a 20min buzzer to ensure all players get a game. We have opened up a Sunday Session for the public to try out table tennis and attend on a casual basis. This will restart end of April (see Sunday Social). Seniors Sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays 9am to 11am.
List of practice sessions
We run 2 competition seasons in the year in C grade on Tuesdays at 7pm and B grade (on Thursdays at 7pm) and A grade (Wednesdays 7pm). They run for 15 weeks. We put you in a team based on your standard of play and availability. You can be a substitute if you are not sure about committing to full season of 15 weeks and finals. Email darwintta@gmail.com if you are interested in playing in Comp. The Club Championship - the Darwin Closed - is held mid year and includes Open Singles, veterans events, Junior events and singles in B and C grades.
