THE U3A Sunshine Coast table tennis branch, played out of the Beerwah Community Hall, were graced with the presence of the King himself, Wally Lewis, on March 27.
The immortal was stopping by as part of his Channel Nine segment, ‘Where’s Wally?’, where he visits sport clubs across the country, to try out the sports and chat to the members.
Club player, Greg Cubis, said it was great meeting the legend in the flesh, and said he had a good crack at playing the club pros.
“He had a game with us, he hadn’t played for 30 to 40 years, but he still showed a bit of potential,” he said.
Greg added he was lovely in person, and was very grateful for his visit.
“He was wonderful, he was really friendly, very patient and he enjoyed himself.”
The table tennis branch is always looking for members over 50 at any skill level, to come join their Wednesday games from 10am-1pm.
