The driving force behind it all

Our association thrives because of the dedication and generosity of our volunteers. They lead a range of initiatives across the region, including Table Tennis Academy, Balgownie Pavilion, tasters in schools, sessions for disabled players and Evergreens community. They plan for the future while responding to day-to-day challenges. Their passion and outstanding dedication make everything we do possible.

To name a few out of the many

While our association benefits from the support of many valued volunteers, a small number of individuals consistently go above and beyond, dedicating countless hours to initiatives that have shaped and strengthened our table tennis community.

Donald Pirie has been the driving force behind many of our key initiatives for years, from helping with anything ASV-related and involvement with Aberdeen Table Tennis Academy to running the University TT Club, and more recently leading the exciting Balgownie Pavilion project. Across the city, Dick Ferro works tirelessly to coordinate sessions, support coaches and volunteers, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Max Singer’s outstanding commitment as Head Academy Coach has transformed the experience of countless players, demonstrating just how much one person can achieve through enthusiasm and dedication. Meanwhile, Natalie Gallan continues to inspire and support our youngest players through her coaching, while also providing invaluable care and reassurance as an NPC at tournaments, always putting players’ wellbeing first. Together, they embody the spirit of volunteering that keeps our sport growing, welcoming and inspiring for everyone.

You can help as well

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether you can spare a few hours occasionally or would like to become more regularly involved, there are plenty of ways to help. You could assist coaches during training sessions, help set up and pack away tables, support the organisation of tournaments, or use your creative talents to produce photography, videos and social media content. If you enjoy practical work, maintaining and repairing our tables is always appreciated, while those with access to larger vehicles can provide invaluable help transporting tables, equipment and other items when needed. Whatever your skills or experience, volunteering is a rewarding way to support your local table tennis community, meet new people and play a part in the continued growth of our sport,

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is the backbone of our association, providing leadership, direction and oversight to ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the year. Meeting several times annually, the committee reviews current activities, plans for the future and makes decisions that support the continued growth of table tennis across the region. Its work covers every aspect of the association, from planning and delivering successful league and cup competitions to overseeing tournaments, coordinating the efforts of our development officers and volunteers, and managing the association’s finances, projects and grant funding.
