Back in January 1999, with the tremendous support of the Medway Council, Chatham Table Tennis Club was founded with two main objectives in mind:
- To promote the game particularly amongst the younger generation through coaching and encouragement
- To provide adult recreation for all standards of players.
We have since become the largest and most influential Club in Medway and as part of the Medway Towns Table Tennis League in the season (2004/2005) we have our top senior team "Argonaut" in the Premier division and our 2nd team"Bermuda" in Div 2."Coventry" "Dreadnought", "Endurance" "Fearless" are in Div 3.The 4th Division includes "Gloucester""Hood", "Invincible", "Javelin" "King Edward"and "Lancaster" - Players are selected on ability and Team names (named after famous British naval ships) change from season to season.
In the beginning Medway Council were very helpful in that they generously funded the cost of all new equipment including 6 competition size tables of the very highest quality and by donating a considerable amount of cash to get us started. We are now an independent club with a committee,Club Rules and a written Constitution, Child Protection and Health & Safety policies. We also have 6 ETTA qualified coaches who are all CRB Certificated and First Aid trained. In 2001 the ETTA conferred "Premier Club" status upon us, which means we act as the "hub club" within Medway and invite smaller clubs and after-school clubs to join us as "satellites".
In 2002 we were successful in a grant application to "Awards for All" which enabled us to provide tables and equipment for several Medway Junior Schools and our qualified coaches give their time free to pay regular visits giving demonstrations and "taster" sessions. In 2003 we were awarded the prestigious Sport England CLUBMARK. Earlier this year we were granted £1,435 by the Kent Community Foundation to purchase a state-of-the-art robot machine
Our Match venue for Thursday and Friday games are played at Balfour Road Junior School
We are very keen to promote our Wednesday Club Night at Chatham Grammar School for Boys, which is open to all (including members of other clubs!) We need to make a token charge in order to pay for the venue.
