Southland Table Tennis 75th Jubilee
Southland Table Tennis Association celebrated 75 years of being affiliated to the New
Zealand Association. Table Tennis had been played for many years in Invercargill before
this.
The jubilee was held on Saturday 16th April, with a Get-together and afternoon tea in the
Southland Table Tennis Stadium, followed by a dinner at Elmwood Gardens at night. The
stadium was open on Sunday morning for anyone who wanted to face their old foes at the
other end of the table.
111 registrations were received with 99 attending the afternoon and 81 at the dinner and
approx 30 on Sunday morning. People travelled from Melbourne, Hastings, Wellington,
Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin to attend.
A great display of memorabilia was set up and brought back a lot of memories. Sunday
morning brought back some good memories of past games. Everyone enjoyed it.
The highlight of the dinner was the introduction of a Southland Table Tennis Hall of Fame.
Much to the shock of John Catto he was the first inductee. John was the
first Southlander to win a New Zealand Title. See Southland
Hall of Fame page for a list of his achievements.
Some Photos from the Celebrations can be seen here>
