April 6th, 2008

Very many thanks to players, spectators and helpers who all contributed to make the Closed Championship this year a great success.

It was great to have over 50 players competing at the Championship and proves that table tennis is still very much alive in Basingstoke.

From Roger Bielby on the fine form of Ron Cleave of Queens 'C'

"...We have spoken about the young up and coming stars and lets hope they all fulfil their potential, but we played Queens 'C' last night and Ron Cleave played, 82 years old, started playing during the second World War and still maintains a good standard of play and enjoyment of the game. What support he has given B/stoke T.T. over the years and long may it remain so"

Closed Championship - Entrance Fee
March 8th, 2008

***Apologies, there is an oversight on this year's Closed Championship Entry Form***

In line with this season's change to Rule 39 in the BDTTL handbook, there will be a player entrance fee to this year's Closed Championship. The fee will be £4 for Seniors and £3 for Juniors. The entrance fees will help to cover the cost of hiring the Sports Hall at Aldworth Science College, which was over £150 last year. I trust everyone will accept this necessary charge - entrance fees can be paid on the day.  Thank you.
