I started playing table tennis at the age of 9 as a pupil at Cliffedale School and have been involved in CCTTC since it was founded in 1997. As a junior player I represented my club at different levels, my school and the county playing in the top divisions. I then turned my attention to coaching gaining my ETTA Level 2 Coaching Qualification in 2003. I have also gained my County Umpire qualification, I am a qualified Level 2 Tournament Organiser and I organise the Herbert Pacey Memorial Tournament for primary schools each year and any club tournaments that the club has.

I became involved in table tennis in 1977 as my children were both playing. I have been an active member of the Grantham and District Table Tennis League for many years including being Chairman and now President. During my time as Chairman I played a major part in the creation of the Table Tennis Centre at the Meres. I still play a little table tennis, assist with coaching, however my main involvement is now as an umpire. I have been umpiring since 1988 and I am now an International Umpire.
As well as the Management Committee we have a number of club officials, detailed as below:
Helen O'Neill: Club Child Welfare Officer.
I became involved with the Club as a number of my children play table tennis. I have never played table tennis, nor can I umpire and won't even try! One of my key skills is in the making of fantastic tea and coffee, which I always do for our tournament officials and helpers. I am easy recognisable as I have club coloured red hair! Outside the world of table tennis I am a Consultant Paediatrician, hence my club role of Child Welfare Officer.
