Having participated in this sport for over 50 years both as a player, a committee member and a Past President, I believe my current role as President is to faciltate a working committee to work alongside our members to create positive change that is needed. With my guidance this committee will be one that addresses our members concerns, listens to their ideas and gives our members a voice that will be heard. TTC needs to grow, adapt and provide the best possible participant experience. We will work together towards more opportunities for all our members across all aspects of the sport. My role will be to guide, work with and to bring to life a table tennis community that we are all proud to be members of when we walk in the door. Working on your behalf, excites me and gives me hope that we will all move forward into a new phase for a sport that we all love and an organisation that has stood the test of time. Let’s get working and get things done!

A keen player during my teenage years I returned to the sport over a decade ago and love that it is a sport that you can be active in from very young until your senior years. Having been bested by an eight year old and a ninety year at interclub level shows age is no barrier! In my professional life I have a Bachelor of Design and 20 years experience as a brand manager specialising in advertising, including working on an All Blacks campaign. I’m semi retired still working in the industry with a wide range of clients. I have been working with the Table Tennis Canterbury committee for several years initially designing the Table Tennis Canterbury logo and branding and now providing content for our Facebook Page and helping to facilitate the new Website. Communication, community and inclusion for all is the essence of what I want to bring to this Committee and to all of our members this year.

Table tennis has been a huge part of my life. I have played in national leagues and tournaments in Germany but what I loved most about it was my table tennis family – our club, the lifelong friendships, the supporters who cheered for us at our home games and the fun we had on our trips away and the amazing tournaments. I would love to help create a similar player experience here at TTC. Careerwise, I have over 30 years’ experience working in corporate finance and not-for-profits predominantly in leadership positions in strategic fundraising, such as my current role at the University of Canterbury. I absolutely enjoy helping my teams achieve their goals whilst ensuring we also have a lot of fun along the way.

Table tennis is a sport I enjoy - not just playing in tournaments but also socially. I started this sport when I was 6. It has accompanied me through the years of primary, secondary as well my university time back in Malaysia. As for my past experience as a Chairperson for the Table Tennis Club back in the University, my team and I organized numerous events and tournaments for table tennis. I am pleased to contribute my experience and knowledge to make this sport more active in the region. Having a can-do attitude will drive me to make things more achievable and establish more growth in the table tennis community for the Canterbury Region. From my experience, I find communication and Public Relations are the key for expansion and growth. I would like to be the bridge to bring community and the sport more closely together so that everyone can enjoy this sport.

I started playing table tennis when I was 40. I took my kids to Avonside Club at Harvey Tce. It didn't take long to get the bug and I have hardly missed a week since. I’ve helped on Avonside committees and ran Lincoln Uni with Marcia for a few years. I was also on Canterbury committee at a similar time. I'm one of the few Lincoln Uni members who actually went to Lincoln University. I started my BAgsc degree in 1969. I've been self-employed all my working life in cleaning and a small stint in retail. I'm currently retired but working part-time.

My table tennis journey started in 2012 when I joined a social group in Rolleston. Subsequently, I became a group coordinator and was doing that for about one year. As my interest in the game grew, I joined a club, started playing interclub, took some coaching lessons, and attended couple of NZ Masters Games. I enjoy the game because it demands eye-body coordination, fast information processing, awareness and focus. Before I got involved in table tennis, swimming was my first love and still is close to heart. When not playing table tennis, I read a lot about alternative healing modalities. I am a certified relaxation massage therapist, but currently not practicing. I am also interested in nature, so I volunteer some of my time to the Department of Conservation. I believe table tennis is a sport for everyone. It is never too late to start enjoying its many benefits –it improves balance and coordination, keeps you sharp, improves fitness and the social aspect of the game can bring people together.
