The Pride Awards give thanks and honour the incredible work that the volunteers in the local table tennis community deliver time after time.

Recently, I had the pleasure to make an award to Colin French from Waterside TTC who embodies all of these virtues.

I am always astounded at the hours, effort and commitment that these people put in, sometimes with little or no thanks, and work tirelessly to make table tennis better and more accessible for others.

Look out for how you nominate your local hero for the awards later this season, or contact me to discuss how we can recognise our volunteers.

Please take time to watch Colin’s interview below.
