We would like to welcome everyone to the Alice Springs Masters Games Table Tennis tournament. We have numerous returning competitors in 2010, with early commitments from the Eyre Peninsula crowd, Brighton Amigos and the Hoads from Coober Pedy. As promised in 2008, our Mayor, Damien Ryan has issued a “Mayoral Challenge” to various Administrations up and down “The Track”.
Remember Gerry Wood (Independent Member for Litchfield in the NT Parliament)? Since competing in 2008, he has rocketed to prominence in NT political circles. He’ll be back with an even keener wit.
We look forward to meeting all our participants.
