3 President s Report WILL GOODIER It was a year of initiatives, consolidation, successes and some failures- all covered in the Annual Report- but overall Table Tennis Australia moved forward positively in terms of growth and achievements. It is pleasing that during a year of such growth the accounts reflect a surplus thanks to the support of our sponsors and the attention to detail by the Finance Director and the Staff. Our initiatives include the National Insurance Scheme and the development and implementation of the new constitution as well as the substantial growth of our PPP programme with the generous support of the Australian Paralympic Committee. In terms of consolidation, it is pleasing to see how board teamwork developed during the year. Networking continued at an accelerated pace both internationally and in Australia, mainly by the CEO and President with the Australian Sports Commission, Australian Commonwealth Games Association, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee and International Table Tennis Federation. Successes in 2010 included the National Tour aimed at a better communication between Table Tennis Australia and the member states, the adoption of our new identity and constitution as a Company Limited by Guarantee and acceleration of our Paralympic Preparation Program. Behind the scenes, where we do most of our best work outside public scrutiny, the CEO and staff have improved governance and delivery of outcomes to our membership and sponsors. We expect this work to be rewarded by greater successes in the near future. Our non successes failures- were mostly in the results of our High Performance programme. This is not a reflection on the staff athletes or coaches but on the funding available to Table Tennis Australia. While it has been difficult to make the dollars stretch, I am confident in Table Tennis Australia s ability to succeed in this arena in the long term. I am grateful for such a strong, ongoing commitment from our Directors. Barbara Talbot has brought her expertise as Director of Finance to the board as well as her vast knowledge of AWD. Phil Males the Vice President with his involvement with Oceania and his vast experience in table tennis administration. We are indeed fortunate to have Graeme Ireland as one of our directors who brings his International and Officiating experience with ITTF. Leonie Whiteford has many years experience in domestic and international competition and in veterans table tennis. Phil Davis has experience in many areas of administration and the running of international competitions and High Performance. William Henzell brings the players perspective to the board discussion and with his many years of experience. Finally, I acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our office staff. Even though we are a small organisation the amount of work that comes from the office is staggering considering the number of people involved. I thank Sue Stevenson who continues as the glue binding Table Tennis Australia and also Adele Butler our Administration Officer. Over the past year I have worked closely with CEO Peter Marriott and am impressed with his ability in administration and communication. Page 3

4 CEO Annual Report PETER MARRIOTT 2010 has been a busy year for the office; Adele Butler joined the team as Administration Officer in May and has done a tremendous job in learning the systems and keeping the accounting records up to date. Sue Stevenson continues to excel as the National High Performance & Coaching Coordinator and has helped maintain a close relationship with our key Stakeholders. Brett Clarke spent a lot of the year travelling to events with both junior and senior teams. After holding the National Coach position for 18 months Brett will be missed by all the players after finishing his employment on the 31 st of December. Will Goodier and the Board have maintained a stable leadership of the organisation and have continued to drive the sports attempts to improve Governance. I would also like to acknowledge the many volunteers who donate their time to the various committees of Table Tennis Australia. Achievements in 2010 After 12 months of discussion and planning with member state / territories, the Australian Sports Commission and our Lawyers, the new constitution and organisational structure was adopted at Special General Meeting in October. Table Tennis Australia has now changed its structure to a Company Limited by Guarantee with a new and modern constitution and positions the sport in line with the governance principles of the Australian Sports Commission. Whilst the process took 12 months to complete, everyone involved should be congratulated on their efforts as many other National Sporting Organisations are still working through the process. Table Tennis Australia is committed to providing the best governance for our sport and continues to work closely with the Australian Sports Commission in achieving this goal. The Board of TTA has undergone a number of changes this year as it was left without a Finance Director for the first few months of the year with the resignation of long time Board member Peter Campbell-Innes. Barbara Talbot accepted the position of Finance Director in late May. Barbara has brought her finance skills and a wealth of knowledge and experience with AWD to the Board. David Beaumont stepped down at the Annual General Meeting and was replaced by Leonie Whiteford. Phil Males was elected Vice President of the Board during the year (position previously held by David Beaumont). The National Insurance Scheme finished its first year of operation and has been renewed for the Premiums have been maintained and the level of cover has been increased. State & Territory Associations are now able to provide player accident cover for members and clubs are provided with Public Liability, Professional Indemnity and Associations Liability to protect their committee members. Travel Insurance has also been provided to all Australian and State representative players competing in national level domestic and international events. The Paralympic Preparation Program continues to go from strength to strength under the guidance of Roger Massie (Head Coach), Alois Rosario (Assistant Coach) and Barbara Talbot (Manager). The squad is made up of 20 athletes from Classes 4 to 11 who attend quarterly camps and selected AWD Events. With the assistance of the Australian Paralympic Committee the squad receives tailored Page 4

5 support from dedicated Sport Medicine and Sports Science specialists and funding to attend the quarterly camps. Sarah Lazzaro and Rebecca McDonnell qualified for the Para World Championships in Korea in October. Whilst 2010 had few international events, 2011 will see a huge international schedule as our Tier 1 athletes embark on the qualification process for the London Paralympics in The XIX Commonwealth Games were held in Delhi and the Australian contingent of 5 male players, 6 female players, 2 coaches (Brett Clarke and Alois Rosario) and 1 section manager (Sue Stevenson) did the country proud in their efforts both on and off the table. Catherine Morrow thrilled Australia with a Silver Medal in the Women s Singles Para Event. Whilst the results of all the tournaments conducted during the year are contained later in this annual report, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the State/Territory committees and volunteers who hosted the major events during the year. Australian AWD Championships Canberra, ACT Australian Open & Youth Championships Gosford, NSW ACG Qualification Tournament Melbourne, VIC Australian Closed Championship Gold Coast, QLD Australian Open Junior Championship Gold Coast, QLD 27 th Australian Veterans Championship Melbourne, VIC The Australian Teams competed internationally in the following events: ITTF Youth Olympic Games Qualification Tournament Auckland, NZ Oceania Table Tennis Championships Auckland, NZ Oceania Cadet Challenge Auckland, NZ ITTF World Junior Circuit Auckland, NZ World Team Table Tennis Championships Moscow, Russia Youth Olympic Games Singapore World Team Cup Classic Dubai, UAE Men s World Cup Magdeburg, Germany ITTF Global Cadet Challenge Hyderabad, India ITTF Global Junior Circuit Finals Hyderabad, India World Para Table Tennis Championships Gwangju, Korea World Junior Championships Bratislava, Slovakia Taipei International Table Tennis Championships (AWD) Taipei, Republic of China 3 rd Open Al Watani Table Tennis Championships (AWD) Amman, Jordan XIX Commonwealth Games Delhi, India Congratulations to all of the players who competed in these events and a big thank you to all of the Coaches and Managers for helping make these events possible. Page 5

6 Stakeholders: A lot of the above events would not be possible without the continued support of our major funding partners and stakeholders. Our Principle Funding Partner the Australian Sports Commission continues to support our sport not just in the provision of finances but the support and resources given through their staff at the Sports Commission is indispensible. A special thank you to our Sports Consultant Kim Williams, who has continued to assist TTA throughout The Australian Paralympic Committee has increased their support of AWD Table Tennis in 2010, with funding and resources have ensured that every possible opportunity will be given to our PPP athletes in their efforts to qualify for the 2012 Paralympics. The APC have also assisted TTA in developing a Classification pathway and course for our sport and have helped us develop a Sports Science and Sports Medicine program for our PPP athletes which would rival many able and disabled programs around the country. It would be remiss of me not to mention the tireless efforts of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association. The ACGA continues to provide financial resources to the sport of Table Tennis to allow our athletes to prepare for the Commonwealth Games. The ACGA has also provided much needed funds to assist in sending the Australian Junior Team to the World Championships. In addition to these financial resources they have worked hard to ensure that the Athletes were kept up to date in the chaotic build up to Delhi and made sure that the games would be a memorable occasion for the athletes and team staff. Looking Ahead: 2011 will be a big year for our Paralympic hopefuls as they will need to attend at least 6 international events to achieve sufficient ranking points to qualify for the London Paralympics in We wish them all the best for their endeavours to qualify for London will also see the start of some new domestic events which will see the High Performance program move from a daily training environment to a camps/events based model. However the greatest challenge ahead of us in 2011 will be the introduction of additional funding from the Australian Sports Commission to increase participation in the AWD and CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) segments of the population. TTA will be working with identified States and Clubs over the next 12 months to develop programs which will increase participation in these 2 sectors and ultimately result in increased membership of Table Tennis Australia. Work has commenced with a review of membership categories and database model to ensure that we have resources which will allow us to capture the various participants of our game. While development has always been the domain of the State/Territories and Clubs; TTA will also now play a role is assisting them thanks to this investment from the ASC. In closing I would like to thank all of the State and Territory Associations for their continued support of TTA and a big thank you to the Staff of TTA for their tireless efforts. Page 6

8 Message from the Australian Sports Commission It is an honour to serve as the new Chair of the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) Board at this challenging and exciting period for our national sporting system. The ASC and national sporting organisations (NSOs) have long spoken of a shared ambition to strengthen relationships between all system partners involved in Australian sport. Aligned with this ambition, the Australian Government is now encouraging a whole-of-sport reform agenda, aimed at establishing a more collaborative, efficient and integrated sports system. Through new direction for sport Australian Sport: the Pathway to Success, the ASC will work closely with sport to achieve its main objectives; boost sports participation and strengthen sporting pathways while striving for international success. The reform agenda seeks for the ASC to assist to provide stability and support for all sporting organisations in their pursuit of a shared, common purpose; creating a better sporting pathway for all Australians, from the grassroots up. The ASC will implement the new direction, and this includes collaboration with all NSOs to allocate a record amount of new sports funding committing an extra $195 million over the next four years. This funding is in addition to the current ongoing baseline funding for NSOs. Also, the ASC will assist sporting organisations with access to coaching and officiating programs, governance support, planning and education opportunities and assistance with becoming more inclusive particularly in the areas of Indigenous sport, sport for people with a disability, sport for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and women s sport development programs. This is the first time key sport partners, such as state and territory institutes and academies of sport and state and territory departments of sport and recreation, have collaborated on a Commonwealth funding decision in the interests of Australia's sporting future. This is an exciting time for all of us involved in Australian sport. With significant new funding from the Australian Government, sports will be better positioned than ever before to lead the drive for higher participation levels and strong success on the sporting field by promoting the unique nature of their sport, creating a legacy and a lasting impression for communities across the country. The ASC will continue to work with all NSOs, the state and territory institutes and academies of sport and state and territory departments of sport and recreation, reinvigorating access to, and participation in, sport across the community and driving Australia s continued sporting success.

49 State / Territories Reports Tasmanian Table Tennis Association Inc. President s Report - DAVID NETTLETON 2010 was another successful year for the Tasmanian Table Tennis Association. We had a full Board of Directors again, and held Board meetings some via teleconference, which was an innovation whenever the situation demanded. Generally, we kept in touch through the internet, and so functioned efficiently. We held three Councils which were generally well attended throughout the year. It would be better if all Branches could be represented at each one. Council continues to work harmoniously whilst conducting important business for the benefit of the sport, and in the interests of the players. On the playing side, we held all of our tournaments and State League. Participation continued to be good, with numbers holding up well. State League was again well organised and most enjoyable: thanks to David Cramp and his team from NTTTA as well as the Launceston Country Club for the excellence of this unique event. The Tasmanian Open was again hosted by STTTA, so thanks to Marshall and his committee for that. This year the Open singles champion was from interstate. It is always good to have players from other States competing at our Open. It was good to see big entries in our junior events. This leads me into what I consider the major, and most far reaching, achievement of the year. This was the coming into fruition of the two junior coaching organisations under the auspices of TTTA. The Southern Junior Development Squad and the Academy both ran throughout the year and both were successful in raising the skill levels and participation of our junior players as was evidenced by being able to send a team of 18 players to the National Junior Championships in October. Huge credit must go to the Directors responsible for these coaching initiatives and for the sustained success of them: it took much dedicated and skilled work for this to happen. So thank you to David Wilson (Academy) and Andrew Goodsell (SJDS) in particular, and to the coaches who assisted for this major step forward. As mentioned we were able to send a larger team to the National Juniors, and what is particularly encouraging is that we were for the first time in a long time able to field a girl s team instead of just individual girls in a President s team. Moreover, we sent two! The players performed creditably, and Madeleine Goodsell is to be congratulated in becoming the first junior to be ranked in the top 10 nationally this millennium. Thanks go to Susan Loveless for undertaking the daunting task of team manager for such a large team, and to the non playing captains David Wilson, Andrew Goodsell, Brendan Black, Elaine Wright, Chris Hooper and Luke Vaiciulevicius.

50 Tasmanian Table Tennis Association Inc. - Continued An enthusiastic team went to the National Veterans Championships under the management of Maureen Sherman; an enjoyable time was had by all. Young Dave Sherman obtained a National ranking in the Over 80 age group well done Dave! TTTA has taken up its option of holding the 2011 Australian Open. The venue will be Kingborough Sports Centre, and Marshall Muller has been appointed Chairman of the Organising Committee. Arrangements are well underway, including the procurement of two grants to help with the funding of the event: one from Sport and Recreation, and one from Events Tasmania. Probably the only downside to the year was the failure to spend the $7500 grant we received from Sport and Recreation for development programmes for juniors: this was in part due to the difference in interpretation of the word elite between us and them, which resulted in us being unable to use the money to help fund the SJDS. The grant has now been renegotiated for this year for spending by the clubs on introductory programmes below the level of the SJDS. It will have to be spent this year or it will be forfeited. TTTA and all Branches also received a dividend during the year from the profits of the 2009 National Juniors Championships at Kingborough: this was most welcome, and we thank STTTA and the Tournament committee for it. Administratively, we managed to keep everything running smoothly, with each Director fulfilling their portfolios. Doug MacLean has again been a very able and conscientious registrar, recorder and manager of the web page. This year will see the end of David Higgins and David Hudson s tenures as Directors. These two gentlemen have worked effectively in their roles for several years, and on everyone s behalf I thank them for their considerable input to the running of the TTTA. We wish them well. I would like to close by saying that we do need to be constantly looking for people to step forward to help with the many aspects of running a sport like table tennis. Without a continuing input of new recruits, the burden falls on too few people, which can result in organisational shortcomings. That these shortcomings have not really eventuated is due to the devotion to duty of the few. I wish TTTA, its players and administrators a successful and enjoyable year in Page 50

51 Western Australian Table Tennis Association Western Australian Report to TTA - IRWIN PARKER Year 2010 was a difficult year for the WATTA board due to forced resignations in July of the President, Match Director and the death of Life Member and Association stalwart Doreen Bridson. Only three Directors were elected at the AGM and Sue Campbell stayed on until David Brown was appointed as President in late November. When Chris Hibbert, Margaret Collins and Ben Banerjee accepted invitations to join the board it seemed that we would have a full compliment of Board members for the year until the two resignations. In relation to the Executive Director position, problems were experienced in relation to recruitment and retention although the association was able to get by; some stability in this area is needed. Chris Hibbert with the assistance of Sue Campbell and James Lu did an excellent job in running the Grand Prix, the West Coast Open and State Championships. David Brown ran all but one of the Junior Graded Tournaments and the Kingsway Cup until he became ill. Five metropolitan and one country club also conducted open tournaments. There are too many club officials who were involved in running these tournaments to mention in this report but special thanks goes to all these members. Match Director and Official Scorer Kip Chang unfortunately were forced to resign due to other commitments. Fortunately Chris Marsh stepped in as Official scorer and quickly got up to speed. The situation was helped by having effective Match Committee members in Lindsay Mee and Rick Lewandowski. Unfortunately the new rating system had to put on hold. Dennis Chen took on the dual roles of Coaching Director and State Coach achieving heartening results with our junior players. Margaret Collins took on the job of fundraising with great zest raising over $1000 for the junior state teams. Ben Banerjee looked after the web page constantly improving it. In this modern age this has become the window of the Association. Based on the number of enquiries received it is apparent that the site has been the subject of an ever increasing number of hits. Also outside of the Board members there were numerous contributors; notably Greg Letts as our editor of 11UP, Russell Lamborn as Chairman of the complaints Tribunal, Maureen Hooper, our gardener, Cedric Wilson and Paul Andriessen. Peter Mascall continues as the Canteen proprietor and collects Association fees and assists with events. Due to serious fretting and the impeding collapse of a lintel above the high front windows, the front wall of the centre was to a large extent rebuilt and the roller door bricked in. I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Mike Andrews in arranging a tradesman and Lindsay Mee for his painting of the new work. This work together with the great improvement in the garden has greatly improved the external appearance of the centre. The Association s incurred a loss of $7173 which was mainly due to the cost of work on the front of the centre. Otherwise the Association more or less broke even after allowing for a significant increase in the costs associated with sending away our State Junior teams. Centre profit was reduced to around $18,000 being reduced by the cost of renovations and increased operating costs, in particular electricity. Page 51
