Beyond Blue supports Victorians through COVID-19 restrictions
Beyond Blue is reminding Victorians that the Coronavirus Mental Wellbeing Support Service is available to support their mental health and wellbeing during the latest period of COVID-19 restrictions.
Beyond Blue CEO Georgie Harman said skilled mental health professionals were available 24/7 at coronavirus.beyondblue.org.au and 1800 512 348, to provide mental health advice and information tailored to pandemic.
“News of more cases and tighter restrictions will be difficult for many people in Victoria, given the events of 2020,” Ms Harman said. “Let’s remember that we’ve overcome these challenges before, and we can do it again. Beyond Blue is here to support you through it,” she said.
“You don’t have to be in crisis to call us, Beyond Blue’s services are for everybody and it’s never too early or
late to reach out.”

Grant application success x 2
The club has recently been successful in applying for two VicGov grants. The most recent success was a grant for $1,000 for new equipment which will go towards a new ITTF approved and wheel chair compatible table.
What are the differences of a wheel chair compatible table I hear you ask?
The only difference is to the position of the legs, which are set back so that chairs do not whack into them.
Are there any other differences like composition, height, speed, net position I hear you ask?
No. They are exactly the same in all respects except leg position. New tables can appear and play a bit slower than older tables as the coating on old tables has worn down, got very shiny from sweat and touch and the ball skips along the table more, therefore play a bit faster than newer tables.
New no touch member checkin system
The club has also been successful in a second grant from VicGov for $1,075 for a new no touch scanning member checkin system. This will help with no touch member checkin management for those members who don’t have or don’t use their phone to checkin to the VicGov COVID checkin QR system. It will also help the club with member identification as well as analysis of playing patterns and centre use. The scanning member checkin system should be up and running ready for the new financial year.

Women’s and Girls’ event at the Coburg Table Tennis Club
Dear members
We are very pleased to announce we will be hosting a Women’s and Girls’ event at the Coburg Table Tennis Club.
Sunday 30 May
2.00pm – 4.30pm
Coburg Table Tennis Club
The event is an opportunity to introduce and welcome more females to the club, no matter what their skill level. We are encouraging all members to bring along a female friend, family member or work colleague.
The event will feature a panel session with a small number of our female players. The session will run for about 45 minutes from 2.30pm and will be hosted by Danni Di Toro. Danni is a wheelchair table tennis player (former wheelchair tennis player) and is Co-Captain of the Australian Paralympic Team. She is currently preparing for her 7th Paralympic games. She also plays pennant on Wednesdays at Coburg and absolutely loves the club. Danni will ask the panelists some questions around why they play, that is: fun, fitness, work/life balance, competition etc,. We’d like to showcase the lovely culture of our club to potential new female players/members and ensure guests feel welcomed by all members on the day, including male members.
Following the panel session, female guests will be invited to have a casual hit with the panelists and a few other female players. We’ll be reserving a few tables for this activity.
We would really appreciate your support for this event. All members are welcome. Please extend an invitation to any females you know who may have been thinking about joining a club, or starting, or returning to sport.
Many thanks
The CTTC Committee.
Get Well Soon
Jin who worked at the Club on Tuesdays and Fridays is not well. We wish that she gets well soon.
