St George and Sutherland Shire Table Tennis Association

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to announce some incredible news on behalf of the St George and Sutherland Shire Table Tennis Association. As part of the NSW Government's Local Sports Grant program, the organisation has received almost $7000 to develop volunteer skills and host a community table tennis tournament. The spirit of our region is built off of the high levels of involvement and the ongoing successes of our local community sporting organisations. Through improving volunteer skills and by bringing people together through this local tournament, we are ensuring that the community spirit of our region is both shining and thriving. It was my absolute pleasure to drop in to watch their team pennants competition where the organisation hosts hundreds of players each and every week. I want to thank President Douglas Flood, Secretary Connie Chan and the entire team for their ongoing commitment which has led to consistently high levels of involvement from a diverse range of local individuals and families. I look forward to seeing the outcomes of this much needed funding in action in the near future.
