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.

Please send any comments to the webmaster:

Webmaster 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 3rd Webmaster Xmas Shoot-Out, between Christmas and New Year on Tuesday 29th December, 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 on the night! 

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!!!

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!

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 pts

Gary Livingstone 347 pts

Roger Bielby 344 pts

Mike Wood 339 pts

Terry White 334 pts

Matthew Wilson 329 pts
