History

Ferndale Table Tennis club was first established as a TTk Greenhouse academy in 2007. The academy was overseen by Welsh International player Stephen Gertsen he was at the academy for 3 and a half years and had great success during his time here. Then ex-Scottish Junior International player Scott Johnston who was assistant coach at old TTk school Tonypandy and had previously helped Stephen with his coaching duties at Ferndale took over. Scott was in the position for a year. Scott moved on but the club has again managed to get a new coach who is going to continue to allow the club to grow. Gwyn Carvill from Bridgend TT club has now taken over at the school and will hopefully use his knowledge of the game and links within welsh table tennis to help the club go from strength to strength.

Morrison's Bag Packing

Saturday the 18th of June was the selected date of the Academy fund raiser at Morrison's in Porth. Not only was the day attended by players but a massive thank you must go to the parents and family members of players who came along to help out on the day. It was a great success with the money still being counted at this moment. Sadly not all players from the Academy could attend due to National squad sessions, illness and school commitments but overall it was a fantastic day. Pauline Fawkes did a fantastic job organising the day and once again has shown how well Ferndale Academy can run an event.
