LATEST NEWS

The end of the season
May 22nd, 2013

Well folks, all outstanding matches have now been completed so the 2012-13 has now officially ended!
It also marks the end of the league website in it's current format. It's been a great pleasure for myself and Tom to have developed and maintained the existing website since 2005. It started out as an A-Level project and has stood the test of time well over the last 8 seasons, providing what I trust has been a useful source of table tennis information to players in the Basingstoke area.
Tony Amies has been working hard on the new website design and there are some really great features which will certainly provide all players and supporters with a lots of great information. So next time you see an update to the league website, expected to be shortly after the AGM on June 13th, it will have a completely new look!

Thanks to everyone for all your support over the last 8 seasons.
Ashley and Tom Pither

Message from Patrick Garlick:
Please find a entry for link below for this season's Basingstoke Closed Championships which is to be held at Aldworth Science College on Saturday 13th April with finals night at Basingstoke Rugby club on Thursday 18th April. Copies will be left at Essex Road in both rooms.
The rule, passed at the last AGM states that players must have played a minimum of 3 league matches by the entry deadline date to be eligible to play. So if you have not yet managed that then please ensure you have done so before Saturday 6th April. 
Over 50 players entered last year and it would be great to get even more entries again this year. Please bear in mind when choosing which events you wish to enter, that all events will be played on one day. Quite a few players were exhausted last year after having entered into too many events and not having enough rest time! 
Again, entries will be coming to me this year but the tournament is being organised by Sue Tompsett. Please contact either of us with any queries.

ETTA Umpire's course in Basingstoke
December 5th, 2012

Patrick Garlick has been looking into the possibility of having a county umpire's course run in Basingstoke. This is the first rung on the umpiring ladder and allows you to become an official umpire for the ETTA. Once you are qualified there is no obligation to umpire at tournaments etc but those who are interested will have the opportunity to do so. The course comprises of a short written paper which is done in your own time at home alongside reference material. There is also a 6 hour practical/theory part which would be held at Aldworth Science College on a weekend date (probably a Saturday) from 10am-4pm.

Firstly, very many thanks to everyone who has been emailing scorecards to the Webmaster, as I hope you can see the Weekly Results page is updated almost every evening when I get back from my day job, so it certainly helps to keep the TT scene in Basingstoke as up to date as possible.
One simple request, when you email the scorecards, please can you put the match fixture in the main heading of the email (i.e. Winklebury v Hanningston') just so that it makes it easier to keep rack of all the emails received.
Many thanks.

AWE - change of venue
November 18th, 2012

Message from Bob Harris, Secretary AWE Table Tennis Club:

As some of you will be aware the Tennis Pavilion/Table Tennis Hut at AWE has been closed without notice on health and safety grounds. The AWE Table Tennis Club has been offered use of the AWE Rugby Hut whilst the future of the Tennis Pavilion is decided. Although far from ideal for Table Tennis, the Rugby Hut is the only venue on offer at the AWE Recreational Society at present.
We intend using the Rugby Hut to fulfil our league commitments for the rest of 2012/13. My thanks for the offers of alternative venues in and around Basingstoke which we may well have to consider for next season. The good news is that the two AWE teams in the Basingstoke League will not have to change their home nights and that most of the future match dates have been booked for Table Tennis. However, it should be appreciated that we are not the only users of this venue and will therefore find it more difficult to re-arrange postponed matches in future.
Please click here for sketch map for location of new venue.

Coaching Courses
August 16th, 2012

Message from Nico Caltabiano, Hampshire able Tennis Development Officer:

After speaking with several people, it seems that there is strong interest to justify a request for ETTA to run a UKCC Level 2 course here in Hampshire. So if you are aware of any Level 1 coach who is interested to get a Level 2 qualification, could you please let me know as soon as possible? Please check with clubs in your leagues, contact club secretaries... We don't have dates as yet, I'm just gauging interest from clubs/individuals.
I understand that one of the main problems is funding. Sport Hampshire and Isle of Wight can offer scholarships for Level 2 courses, with the award up to 75% of the total cost, to a maximum of £500. If there are enough people to run this course, a block application could be made, with strong chances to be approved.
It has also been suggested that it would be possible to run a Level 1 course jointly with the proposed Level 2 course so if you are aware of any club member willing to take on coaching, also please let me know.

Best Regards,
Nico

BDTTL coaching success
July 2nd, 2012

A belated congratulations to Zoe Blagbrough and Jonathan Evans for recently passing their Level 1 Coaching Courses.


Superb performance from Amy Blagbrough
July 2nd, 2012

On the 9th & 10th of June Amy Blagbrough played in the English National Championships and won a bronze medal at her age group. Here is the report from the Basingstoke Gazette:
 
Basingstoke's young Table Tennis star Amy Blagbrough picked up a bronze medal at the National Table Tennis Championships in Walsall. Blagbrough, seeded number five in the under 12 competition, got off to a great start beating Jade Baldry (Cornwall) 11-0, 11-4, 11-1, Helen Turley (Lincolnshire) 11-6, 11-6, 11-4 and Katie Hood (Sussex) 11-4, 11-4, 11-2, to easily win her group. In the next round the Aldworth Science College student was drawn against Talia Banin-Reid (Middlesex) winning 11-4, 11-7, 11-5 to progress to the quarter-finals. There she met the number two seed and one of the pre-tournament favourites, Susses's Katie Cheer. The first set was a close affair which Cheer took 11-7, but Blagbrough raised her game and produced a fantastic display of attacking table tennis to take the second set 11-3. This continued in the next two sets which saw the Basingstoke player win both 11-8 and 11-7 to take the match. The semi-final was against Bhavika Mistry and, although both girls played some excellant table tennis, Blagbrough who trains at Bournemouth Sports Table Tennis Club and with the England Cadet Table Tennis Squad, was unable to produce her form of the quarter finals so had to settle for third place and a bronze medal. Earlier in the weekend the Basingstoke player made the quarter-finals of the Under -14 girls' doubles as one half of a new partnership with Buckinghamshire's Imogen Scarles, losing to the number two
seeds 3-2.
