Help Please!
March 16th, 2009

Three cries for help please!

1) Is there anyone out there who has access to a small van or suitable vehicle that can transport a table tennis table from Aldworth College to the Rugby Club on Finals Night?

2) Last year we had a raffle at the Closed Championship which raised over £150 for the BDTTL and helped to cover costs of running the Championship. If anyone has any raffle prizes they would like to donate, they would be very well received!

3) Only 10 days left to enter the Closed Championship. Please return your entries asap.

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!
