Table Tennis Scotland in partnership with Parkinson’s Scottish Table Tennis Association are delighted to announce the third Parkinson’s Scottish International Open 2025. The Open will be held on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August. The event will be held, once again, at sportscotland National Sports Training Centre, Inverclyde, Scotland.

The 2024 event was attended by 88 players from home and abroad. It was a fantastic event staged in a world class facility. The atmosphere throughout the weekend was friendly, exciting and very positive, with matches played in a very sporting manner and all the players got maximum enjoyment from the experience. We expect the 2025 event to be bigger and better.

We welcome all levels of experience and ability. Our event is inclusive and promotes fair play. More than just a series of matches, this event is an opportunity to connect with other table tennis enthusiasts, to share your love of the game, and build lasting relationships. Our hope is that you will leave this event with a sense of accomplishment, community and camaraderie. We are excited to see what we can achieve together, and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Let’s make this another table tennis event to remember.
