Make a racket indoors
TABLE tennis has returned to Port Douglas, once again being held at the Community Hall on Mowbray St.
Newcomers are invited to get along on Fridays, from 1pm to 3pm, where they will have the chance to meet the current group, with a full range of talent from still learning the game to very skilled.
Table tennis (above) in Port Douglas continues to have a long-lasting partnership with the Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre, U3A and The Tin Shed.
“Apart from a great sport, the game is an excellent opportunity to get some exercise in while spending time with others from the community” said Geoff Mynott, community development worker at the neighbourhood centre.
Sessions are currently scheduled for every Friday, except the April 18 and 25, public holidays and May 9 and 16 during the Port Douglas Carnivale.
Pickleball also started again at the Port Douglas Community Hall, held on Saturdays between 1pm and 3pm and supported by U3A.
Organisers are also offering the possibility of introducing badminton at the same time – if there is enough interest.
Expressions of interest for badminton or further details on existing sports can be discussed by calling the Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre, during business hours, on 4099 5518.
