With over 6 million hectares of land destroyed, the lives of 500+ million animals and human lives lost as well as many homes perished by these catastrophic fires, it is time for every community to get together as one and help create a difference. Our country needs every one of us to lend a helping hand so therefore Dandenong and Croydon & Districts Table Tennis Associations are collaborating to host a Rally for Relief Table Tennis Tournament on Saturday the 1^st of February. We are inviting and welcoming all our fantastic Victorian table tennis clubs to participate in this wonderful event for a much needed cause. If there was only one purpose for us to all come together, then let this be it. It’s time for us all to utilise the power of our table tennis community by giving back to those in need. All proceeds will be donated in support of Victorian bushfire aid (GERF) - Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund

The Rally for Relief Tournament will consist of teams of three and will play in a round robin style event. We are happy for clubs to enter entire teams, groups of friends to submit forms, but also welcome individuals to hand in entry forms where you will then be allocated a team. Currently we will be hosting the event at Croydon & Districts Table Tennis Centre but we are hoping that with many entries we can run this event simultaneously at both Croydon and Dandenong. The cost per person will be $15 dollars for a full day of Table Tennis.

We look forward to seeing you all there and hope we have inspired other clubs to run similar events

Kind regards
