The final night for 2008 will be on Friday 28 November. The Club will be open by 6.45pm.

About 8.00pm those who competed in the recent championships will receive their winner or runner-up certificates and those who attended regularly during the year will receive attendance certificates. Supper will follow the presentations. Please bring a plate with finger food for supper. We hope that parents (and grandparents etc!) will join us on this special occasion and take part. You don’t have to be table tennis players - just come along as your attendance will ensure the success of the evening. If you can only come for part of the evening then your presence for the presentations and supper will be appreciated.

This competition is being contested over 5 weeks starting November 12 and finishing December 10 on Wednesday nights from 7pm. Results should be available on the TTW web site.

The NZ Nationals were run at Walter Nash Stadium from October 1-11, 2008. Many Empire players were involved. Use the link above to see the results. A listing of Empire successes will be available later.

A club session is now running on Sunday mornings from 9:30 until 11:30. We have had around 20 players present for the first two sessions. Normal session charges apply. These sessions are very informal with no organised games at this stage. It is the ideal opportunity to bring the family along for an hour or so.

2009 is the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the Empire Table Tennis Club.

Volunteers are being sought for a committee to help organise the jubilee celebrations. Please contact promotion@empirett.org.nz if you can help.
