The past year has seen many of those necessary reforms come about. For some, these changes have been difficult, but I do believe they were essential if we were to build for the future. We had to take a long hard look at what we did and the way we did it. Since our team came into office two years ago, everything we have done has been geared at returning table tennis to a position where we could plan ahead with confidence. We have now arrived there. Earlier this year, we were delighted to learn that our main financial supporters, Sport England, decided that table tennis was ‘back on track’, removed us from the ‘special measures’ and returned us to secure funding to the end of this cycle. This means that we can prepare for the future with confidence.
