I started playing table tennis 47 years ago, I’m from Dennistoun originally but was brought up in Drumchapel and one of my pals suggested we join the local youth club which had five table tennis tables in a row, I’d never seen so many.
As soon as I picked up a bat for the first time, I really enjoyed it and a coach, Charlie Brown, helped me, he encouraged us to improve and play competitively, and he now works with me here at Drumchapel Table Tennis Club.
At 18, the youth club told me I had to leave as it was for under 18s and the only way that I could continue to be a member was to be a youth leader and do all the courses, which I did, and I’ve never looked back.
