Hunter players welcome
Table tennis near Kurri Kurri, at our club in Thornton
Maitland Social Table Tennis Club welcomes players from Kurri Kurri and the surrounding Hunter towns to come and join our social sessions. We play at Pat Hughes Community Hall in Thornton. It is a drive from Kurri Kurri, but for those who want a regular, friendly game in a relaxed club setting, our players say it is well worth the trip.
What to expect when you come along
We are a social, volunteer-run club, and that shows in the atmosphere. Sessions are low-key, friendly, and open to everyone regardless of experience. You will find people playing for fun, not points.
Bats and balls are provided, so you can turn up empty-handed for your first visit. If you have your own bat you are welcome to bring it.
- All ages and levels are welcome
- Bats provided if you need them
- No booking required, just turn up
- Friendly regulars happy to give a newcomer a game
Where we play and when
All sessions are held at Pat Hughes Community Hall, Taylor Avenue, Thornton NSW 2322. Street parking is available on and around Taylor Avenue.
We run on Monday and Wednesday from 12:30pm to 2:30pm, and on Friday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The Friday evening session is a good one to start with if you are coming for the first time.
Pricing and membership
Sessions cost $5 each, paid as you go on the day. There is no monthly fee. Once you decide to play regularly, a $27 annual Table Tennis NSW membership covers your ongoing participation.
