Jonathan Whitaker (Chairman of TTS) has announced that Simon Messenger will be joining Table Tennis Scotland as of Tuesday 8th September 2009 as the full time National Development Manager, reporting to Terry McLernon our Director of Development and facilities.
Simon will be responsible for all aspects of the development of Table Tennis in Scotland and will work in support of the local initiatives managed by our Local league Co-ordinators. Simon’s most recent experience was as President of the Edinburgh University Sports Union.
This is an exciting time for TTS in the build up to the UK hosting the Olympics in 2012 and Scotland hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2014. This appointment, made possible by additional funding from Sportscotland, is a key part of the growth of Scottish Table Tennis and recognition of the vital role that development plays in underpinning future performance and wide participation.
