Claire Montgomery was the tournament coordinator at the weekend’s Victorian Open Junior Championships and the Albury-Wodonga Senior Titles.
“The lighting they have got there now is fantastic, it’s international level lighting,” she said.
“The only thing that Albury has against them is their flooring, it’s a bit too grippy.
“You get that flooring (taraflex) in there, that would be the icing on the cake for Albury.”
Montgomery says the issue is a high priority for the Albury Wodonga Table Tennis Association, with the 2020 nationals on the agenda.
