Don Sullens - Life Member CCTTA

Don started playing with the Central Coast Table Tennis Club at its inception in 1954 and maintained an active association with the club until the mid 1980’s, during which time he was a leading force in teams entered by the Gosford Packing House and later by the Gosford RSL Club.

His playing career culminated in playing a couple of competitions with long term Club President and fellow life member Ken Lamb who had for years had been an ally at a club administration level yet fierce competitor at the other end of the table.

As a player Don was always very competitive with newspaper reports during his playing career describing him as “flying the banner for the team”, “leading the team to another victory”, “playing a particularly good match to watch”, “winning all three singles” comments all indicative of his approach to the game.

It was his business skills that made Don a champion at the Central Coast Table Tennis Association. He is the club’s longest serving executive member being Treasurer from 1958 – 1978, a period when the club consolidated its revenue and established a base for future progress.
