21 April 2021 marks the 50 year anniversary of the ‘Australian Ping Pong Diplomacy Tour’, where a group of five Australians travelled to China for competitions, training and cultural exchange. The Australian team comprised:
- Noel Shorter (NSW) – Coach
- Paul Pinkewich (NSW) – Player
- Steve Knapp (NSW/VIC) – Player
- Ann Middleton (née McMahon) (SA/NSW) – Player
- Dr. John Jackson (SA) – President and Team Manager
The Tour played an important role in China opening their borders to the western world and was a precursor to official diplomatic relations being established between Australia and China.

What a great night it was for our 50 year celebration tonight, Friday 24th May 2019.
About 80 members attended and we enjoyed a dinner together before playing some doubles and singles matches.
There was a big announcement also made tonight, former AWTTA player, Steve Dainton, who is now the CEO of ITTF, congratulated the club on achieving 50 years , and he has donated a trip to the 2020 ITTF World Championship in Korea next year. The committee will decide on Monday how to use this generous gift donated by Steve.
Below is Steve’s message and some photos from tonight.
Congratulations to our Doubles winners, Max Geering & Hans Blas and our Singles winner Jay Blanes.
