Townsville Table Tennis

Thank you to everyone who helped at our recent Bunnings Sausage Sizzle last Saturday! 🌭

This photo represents the many members and volunteers who have supported our Bunnings fundraisers over the years. We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed their time, whether cooking, serving, setting up, packing down, or transporting equipment.

Our Bunnings Sausage Sizzles are an important part of our fundraising efforts and help support the ongoing activities and development of our club.

📅 Our next Bunnings Sausage Sizzle will be on Sunday, 26 July.

If you would like to volunteer and be involved, please let Paola know. We'd love to have you join the team!

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support our club. 🏓💙

Some of our 2026 Townsville Open winners and podium finishers 🏆👏

Congratulations to all players on a great tournament weekend.

After one week of high-level training in China, Taleisha Gaeta is now competing at the WTT Youth Contender in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭🏓

Taleisha’s group matches will include tough international opponents, including the current World Youth No. 83 from Thailand and World Youth No. 166 from Singapore.

An amazing opportunity to test herself against some of the world’s best young players and continue gaining valuable international experience.

Good luck Taleisha, everyone at Townsville Table Tennis is cheering you on 👏🇦🇺

More than 20 Townsville Table Tennis members made the trip to Mackay over the weekend to compete at the 2026 Mackay Open Championships.

A huge congratulations to all of our players who represented the club so well, and especially to those who brought home podium finishes 👏🏻

Great to see such a strong Townsville presence across the tournament, with players of all ages and levels getting involved, competing hard and supporting each other throughout the weekend.

A few members are missing from this photo, but we loved seeing so many of our players there representing the club 🐯

Thank you to Mackay Table Tennis for hosting another great tournament and making everyone feel so welcome!
