STTTA
The Southern Tasmanian Table Tennis Association Inc (STTTA) was formed in 1963 and is affiliated with the Tasmanian Table Tennis Association (TTTA) which is in turn affiliated with the national body, Table Tennis Australia (TTA).
History
Clubs playing in a Hobart social and business house roster formed an association in 1935. It was formalised as the Tasmanian Table Tennis Association in 1936.
In the early years clubs including Wellington, Liberals, Wivenhoe and University played in various venues such as St James (New Town), Sandy Bay Rowing Club, the Postal Institute and the Working Men's Club.
In 1959 operations were centralised in a bitumen floored upstairs former warehouse at the corner of Collins and Campbell streets. Despite the conditions, up to 56 senior teams and over 100 school teams were accommodated weekly in this central location.
The STTTA moved to the Kingborough Sports Centre which included a dedicated 10 table Centre in 1979. Numbers initially dropped with the move south. In recent years, numbers have grown as the Kingborough Municipality expands. Using the newly expanded KSC facilities, the STTTA can now easily cater for any Australian event.
