SOUTHERN TABLE TENNIS  INC.

It is great to have 65 players for our winter competition as there are a number of regular players sitting out due to the covid-19 situation.  This season will be different with no doubles and 5 team divisions.  We do stress that if you are feeling at all unwell that you do not play.  Having 5 team divisions provides more reserves than normal so we should be able to cover absentees.  If you cannot play please let your coordinator know asap (Marcel 0417 870 181 for Thursdays and John 0403048 272 for Wednesdays).

Please make sure you have paid the fees prior to playing.  They are Seniors $60, Concession $50 and Juniors $30.  Those that played in the Summer competition have a credit towards their fees with the amounts being Seniors $30, Concession $25 and Juniors $18.  Fees can be paid via bank transfer to BSB: 325185, A/c No: 02204430, A/c Name: Southern Table Tennis Association Inc. and send a confirmation email to admin@southerntabletennis.org.au  We can also now accept credit card payments at the canteen.

We hope you all have a fun and competitive season.

With the latest Covid-19 updates as from Friday the 19th of June we may have up to 75 people in the stadium, play doubles and supply food/drink from the canteen as long as it is consumed while seated at a table.  This means that players won’t have to book into sessions and we no longer have to split the Tuesday and Friday morning sessions.  We are still required to record who attends each session, maintain high hygiene standards and promote social distancing.  Part of social distancing is to not be in a room with other persons for more than 2 hours so we ask that you limit your visits to 2 hours.

Effective Monday, 22 June, the following weekly session hours apply (no bookings required):
Monday night social play – 6.30pm to 10pm
Tuesday morning social play – 9am to 12pm
Tuesday night juniors – 7pm to 8.30pm
Wednesday night social play – 7pm to 9.30pm
Friday morning social play – 9am to 12pm
Friday night social play – 6.30pm to 10pm
Sunday morning social play – 9am to 12pm

Please note for the Tuesday and Friday mornings social sessions coffee and biscuits will again be provided but there is an expectation that people will social distance.  There are no concessions fees for the morning sessions.

Play at indoor sports venues may commence again on Monday the 1st of June with restrictions.   Southern will be open for social singles play with players having to register their spots using the links below.  If you cannot access the links you can contact Marcel on 0417 870 181 to register a spot.

Some of the required restrictions we currently have include (these are changing almost daily)
– 20 players at a time
– 2 hour time limit
– we must record who attends each session including a phone number or email address
– social distancing to be maintained (no doubles allowed)
– we are unable to provide any food or drinks (including not allowed to use the water cooler)

We also have a number of hygiene measures which need to be adopted
– do not attend if feeling unwell (we will be checking players temperatures as they arrive)
– hand sanitiser to be used when entering the stadium and when changing practice partners
– try to have the correct money (normal practice fees apply – $4 adult, $3.50 concession, $3 junior)
– any hand towels to be stored in players bags and not draped over barriers etc
– we will be replacing the balls and doing a clean of the stadium between sessions

To register for any of the sessions just select the correct link and register.  If you are unable to attend a booked session please cancel the booking so someone else can take your spot.  You will need to register on a weekly basis with bookings opening after a session has been completed.  Please note we are using Eventbrite as the booking system which talks about receiving a ticket.  You do not need to print out any ticket etc.  Registering is all that is required.  You will not be able to register if the session is full.

Please note we may adjust what sessions are available each week depending on demand but we are limited to a session being a maximum of 2 hours at this stage.
