Can YOU help the League keep functioning effectively?
The League is looking for volunteers to fill the roles of Match Secretary, Treasurer and Development Coordinator. The vacancies are due to pressure of work or other commitments of the current incumbents.

This year the Development Coordinator received an honorarium of £500 from Table Tennis Scotland – Role and Responsibilities outlined below.
