VSCA Table Tennis Team

by

Our VSCA Table Tennis Team keeps seniors active, healthy, joyful, and connected. For many, it’s the highlight of their week – a welcoming space where laughter, exercise, and friendship come together. We proudly run three weekly sessions at Samarinda Community Centre (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), helping our members stay fit, happy, and socially engaged.

Thanks to the generous support of Bendigo Bank, our seniors now wear uniforms with your logo, a true symbol of community pride and partnership. We showcase this sponsorship proudly on our uniforms, at community events, and across our networks, ensuring your contribution is recognized and celebrated.
