Trevor Towner, secretary of Bexhillians Premier Table Tennis Club, was presented with Table Tennis England’s  Pride of Table Tennis England Award for Club Volunteer of the Year by club chairman Graham Gillett (whose father Roger ran the club for over 50 years) in front of some of the clubs present members.

 

The club has 8 teams competing in this year’s Hastings and District Table Tennis League. During Covid restrictions, Trevor made sure that he kept in touch with all his players and arranged for essential items to be brought and delivered to those who were house-bound and with the help of another club member, Brian Busbridge, set up a club website and league for all players of different standards in the area, whose clubs could not open, to come to the Bexhillians venue and play competitive table tennis . Bexhill Youth and Community Centre manager Paul White helped set up the venue to meet Covid regulations so that this league, social table tennis and coaching sessions could continue and Bexhillians Table Tennis club thank him for his support.

Anyone interested in playing table tennis or who requires any further information about the club can find it on its website www.tabletennis365.com/bexhillttc or phone 07854 670683.
