Since 2009 Dimi has taken up novuss seriously. He plays regularly with the Central Coast Novuss
(CKN) group, originally a subset of the Sydney group (SNK)
He has been competing in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide tournements as well as te Central Coast, with very good results. Currently he is the South Australian singles and doubles champion.
Dimi is so keen, he bought his own table and makes Selga practice with him every day, in her library. So she has started to compete but with poor results until 2011. Stuart also has become keen and shows a talent, so Linda now has bought a table too and they now compete in 2012 under the CKN banner.
