December 2019

The clubs annual tournament will take place at Great Wymondley on 22nd and 23rd February, all entries must be with Roger Bowler by Wednesday 12th February.

Also an update on the progress of James Hamblett (one of the clubs former Junior high achievers), over the past few months he has:-

• Become England ranked seven as a Cadet (U/15)
• Travelled to Romania with his new club Urban (London) where he won an age group competition.
• Was promoted to the England Aspire squad where he will represent them in Croatia and China.

On Sunday 10th November we held our Elite Invitation Tournament at the St Neots Table Tennis Club, luckily the weather improved from the day before. A detailed report is included in the December 2019 Newsletter.

We had 40 entries in the Mens Tournament including Jack Bennett currently England ranked 25th, Adam Jepson currently ranked 32nd (and eventual winner of the Tournament), Joseph Langham-Ferreira currently ranked 33rd, Naphat Boonyaprapa currently ranked 37th, Niall Cameron currently ranked 4th in Scotland and many more great players, including Mark Mitchell the St Neots club resident head coach (Mark is an Ex England International with 55 caps. He also won the Portuguese Open and Icelandic Open. He was the GB Paralympic Coach for over 18 years, attending 4 Paralympic Games) and now he can add runner up in the Mens Consolation event to his CV.

There were 20 entries in the Womens Tournament including Mollie Patterson currently England ranked 5th (and eventual winner of the Tournament), Anaya Patel currently ranked 11th, Tiana Dennison currently ranked 16th, Sara Williams currently ranked 22nd in Senior Women and 1st in Veteran Women, the list goes on.

Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and a number of players asked if we would be organising the event again, unfortunately this is unlikely as it is a lot of effort for the few people willing to take the strain and getting sponsorship to provide the players winnings is never easy.

For this event sponsorship was provided by Mastercars of Hitchin, NFU Mutual (St Albans), Pawar Management and Consultancy Services Ltd, Three Magnets (J D Wetherspoons, Letchworth) and Warren Spring Table Tennis Club.

2019 is the club’s Diamond Anniversary. To mark this occasion, we are holding an Elite Invitation Tournament on Sunday 10th November for both men and women from around the country, so far we have 23 for both men and women who have expressed an interest. With stars like Ethan Walsh (England No 3 junior), Sam Wilson (England No 33) and Adam Jepson (England No 37) the day should offer some very good caliber table tennis to view, so well worth coming along. In the lady’s competition Mollie Patterson (England No 6) , Moldovian international Elena Todirca and the best female Polish player in the country Daria Dzierbicka have all expressed an interest to play.
This tournament will be held at the St Neots Table Tennis Centre, doors open at 8:30 and play starts at 9:00, it should be an exiting day of table tennis.

We had been planning to also hold a tournament on Saturday 9th November for five of the local leagues (North Herts TTA, Cambridge and District TTA, Luton and District TTA, Bedford and District TTA and  St Albans, Hatfield and Welwyn TTA) unfortunately due to a very low number of entries we have had to cancel this event

To celebrate this anniversary we are giving every one of our club members a water bottle with a 60th anniversary logo as a memento.
Also every player who wins when playing a Warren Spring team will be given a raffle ticket and we will draw the tickets against prizes at the end of the season.
