The club's hall accommodates five high-quality competition tables, providing players with optimal playing conditions.
Nomads TTC is grateful for the support it has received from its sponsors, Beaumont Accountancy Services. Being sponsored for nine consecutive years has allowed the club to develop and sustain its vibrant social, local league, and internal league activities. The support from Beaumont Accountancy Services has made a significant difference to the community club and its members.
One of the club's notable events is the Russ Teasdale League and Barry Pearson Handicap competition. In memory of Russ Teasdale, the competition is held annually and involves 21 club members competing against each other in a one-man league format. Additionally, the handicap league, courtesy of Barry Pearson, adds an exciting element to the competition. This event serves as an opportunity for the members to improve their match practise, enhancing their performance in the Stockton League campaign.
At Nomads TTC, the mantra is to give 100% and enjoy the game, regardless of the outcome. The club believes in the power of team spirit and encourages its members to strive for excellence. The achievements of the club can be found on their Achievements page.
