Hampshire Schools Championship - Great performances!
February 1st, 2010
Report from Barbara
Evans:
The Hampshire Schools Championships took place at Waterside
Table Tennis Centre in Totton on Friday 29th
February. Basingstoke had a good entry in the Championships,
with three players making it to the finals of their age
categories. Jonathan Evans won the Under 16 Boys event, and will
now represent Hampshire at the English Schools event in April.
Jonathan had not played competitively since before Christmas,
due to snow and revising for GCSEs, so he did very well to win
the event without dropping a game. Sisters Zoe and Amy
Blagbrough both fought well to make it through to the finals of
the Under 16 and Under 11 girls events. Zoe was unlucky to meet
the England International, Tressa Armitage in her final, and Amy
was also defeated in hers by a more experienced player.
Altogether it was a very good result for Basingstoke.

Postponements
and Rule 42
January 24th, 2010
At the last meeting of
the BDTTL, Postponements and Rule 20 were discussed. The decision was to
adhere to this rule in the current 2009/10 season, i.e.
42 days means 42
consecutive days, irrespective of whether there is an intervening Xmas
break or free week. However, as a result of the recent adverse weather,
George White, Chairman, has issued the following statement:
"The 42 day rule should not apply in cases where there are postponements
caused by exceptional weather conditions. However I would expect teams
to try and re-arrange asap although they will not be penalised if the
match takes place after 42 days."
The committee would like
to open a debate via the web about any views on future amendments to
rule 42 for next season, in particular whether the 42 days should
exclude 'Free Weeks' for Team Handicap matches and/or the Christmas
period.

Xmas Shoot-Out: Results
December 30th, 2009
A big thank-you to the 20
players who braved a cold night and took part in the 3rd annual
Webmaster Xmas Shoot-Out at Essex Road on Tuesday evening. £62 was
raised by your generosity and this more than covers the costs of keeping
the website registered and serviced by our Service Provide, Streamline.
After a combination of both singles and doubles matches, the top 4
players competed in the semi-finals, with Roger Bielby defeating Patrick
Garlick and Peter Martin just edging out Norman Swift. Peter went on to
beat Roger in the final and claim the title of Webmaster Xmas Shoot-Out
champion for 2009! I was particularly pleased to see everyone stay to
watch the final which added to the competitive yet friendly atmosphere.
Hopefully a lot of fun was had by all and look forward to Xmas Shoot-Out
in 2010!

December 18th, 2009
I am hoping to run the

Essex Road, from 7.30pm.
The aim is to raise funds
to cover the costs of the website, currently approx £50 for two years to
keep our website name registered + the cost paid to our web host
provider (Streamline.net). An entry fee of £3 per player will be
requested on the night to contribute towards these costs.
During the last few months Tom has been working on a redesign of
the BDTTL website and we are aiming to have this available for viewing

As in previous years the
Shoot-Out will be a handicap event and it should be a perfect way to
burn off some of those mince pies!!!

on Finals Night?
2) Last year we had a
raffle at the Closed Championship which raised over £150 for the BDTTL

raffle prizes they would like to donate, they would be very well
received!
3) Only 10 days left to

Closed Championship - Open Singles - Preview
March 6th, 2009
Can the mighty Steve Murgatroyd retain his
crown? Will Sean Pickin maintain his blistering form this season and
challenge for the title? Is Peter Matthews going to regain the top
prize?
This year's Open Singles
is going to be one of the most hotly contested for years. With the
majestic Tony Palaczky in superb form and the awesome fire-power of
Norman Swift, it's difficult to predict who is going to end up as
Basingstoke's No. 1 player. Louis Conlon has picked up some big scalps
in Div 1 and is highly regarded as a big threat. The crafty Paul Rattue
can't be ruled either, nor can the experience of Terry White be ignored
- both capable of beating the very best on their day.
Only 3 weeks to go and as
you can see, the anticipation is building!

BDTTL
Closed Championship 2008/09 - Finals Night - new venue
February 28th, 2009
Message from the Webmaster:
As most of you will be aware, after many successful years the Closed
Championship Finals Night can no longer be held at the Cannon Social
Club. However, I am pleased to confirm that Finals Night this season
will be played at the Basingstoke Rugby Club.
After an extensive search
for a suitable and viable venue, the Rugby Club has now been booked for
Tuesday 31st March from 7pm. The facilities include a bar and also a
snack bar where drink and food can be purchased by players and
spectators.
I am really hoping for a
bumper number of entries into the Championship this year. With ever
increasing costs (Aldworth College = £217, Rugby Club = £30) it is very
important that BDTTL try and recoup this money and the best way to do
this is to show your support by entering the Championship - player entry
fees are Seniors £5, Juniors £3.
So go on, don't delay,
enter right away! It's easy, Entry Forms are available on the web and
can be emailed to me or sent by post. Alternatively, simply email me the
events you would like to enter (basingstokett@hotmail.co.uk) or just
give me a call (Bas. 476708).
Finals Night will be a
terrific event in a great new venue, with some exciting table tennis
guaranteed! Even if you can't make the Championship on the Saturday,
make a date in your diary for Finals Night, spectators most welcome!

Webmaster Xmas Shoot-Out - RESULTS
January 4th, 2009
Congratulations to
Patrick Garlick for winning the Webmaster Xmas Shoot-Out. 13 players
braved a freezing night at Essex Road to compete in the 2nd ever Xmas
Shoot-Out, last years inaugural event won by Terry White.
This years event was a handicap doubles competition. Each player played
13 sets (31 up) with different partners and opponents drawn out of the
hat for each of the 13 sets, so lots of opportunities to play with and
against different players.
It was an incredibly close finish with any of 6 players having the
opportunity to win the event before the final set was played. Thanks to
all those who took part for making at an enjoyable evening and also for
raising £38 towards the cost of the website renewal fees.
The final results:
Patrick Garlick 350
pts
Sav Thevendria 349

Gary Livingstone 347
