Table tennis in the Hunter Valley, based in Maitland
Maitland Social Table Tennis Club is a friendly, volunteer-run social club in the Maitland part of the Hunter Valley. We play weekly sessions at Pat Hughes Community Hall in Thornton, and players from across the wider Hunter region are very welcome to come and join us. No booking, no equipment needed, no pressure.
Social table tennis for the Hunter Valley
There is not a huge amount of organised table tennis in the Hunter Valley, which is part of why our club exists. We are here to give people a regular, friendly place to play, whether they grew up with the game or have never touched a bat.
The club is run by volunteers who genuinely enjoy the sport and want more people in the region to have access to it. Sessions are social, casual, and open to anyone who wants to show up.
- Open to all ages and experience levels
- Volunteer-run, community-focused club
- No booking, no equipment required
- Players welcome from across the Hunter region
