Social table tennis near Morpeth
Table tennis near Morpeth
Morpeth is a lovely part of the Hunter Valley, and if you are based there and after a social game of table tennis, the Maitland Social Table Tennis Club is your nearest option. We play three times a week at Pat Hughes Community Hall in Thornton, a comfortable drive from Morpeth. It is a warm, no-fuss club and new players are always welcome.
A social club worth the short drive
We are not a high-pressure competition club. The focus is on getting a good hit, meeting some locals, and having a laugh. Players come from villages and suburbs all around the area, so you will not be the only one who has made a short trip to get here.
Bats and balls are provided at the hall, so you do not need to invest in gear before giving it a go. Just turn up in something comfortable.
- Welcoming to players of all ages and ability levels
- Equipment provided, nothing to buy before your first visit
- Pay per session, no contract required
- Relaxed, social atmosphere with a friendly regular crowd
Session days and the venue
We play at Pat Hughes Community Hall, Taylor Avenue, Thornton NSW 2322. There is easy street parking on and around Taylor Avenue when you arrive.
Daytime sessions run on Monday and Wednesday, 12:30pm to 2:30pm. There is also a Friday evening session from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Many players coming for the first time choose the Friday session because of the relaxed pace and social feel.
What it costs
Each session costs $5, which you pay on the day. There is a $27 annual Table Tennis NSW membership once you are happy and want to keep playing. Come and try it first with no obligation.
