As the new season approaches I wanted to re-iterate that the new plastic ball MUST be used from the start of the new 2015-16 season.
If any club/team wish to use up the old celluloid ball for practicing with then the League have no issue with that but in ALL matches that come uder the juristiction of The Worksop & District TableTennis League such as any League or Cup games then the new plastic ball MUST be used.
Failure to do so will result in the match having to be replayed using the new plastic ball and result in a fine.

This years AGM is on Tuesday the 9th of June at Stanley Street Club with a 7.30pm start.
Can I remind everyone that at LEAST one player from each TEAM that has played in the 2014/15 season that has just finished must attend the AGM or that team will incur a £10.00 fine as per rule 9c in the League handbook.
For clarity that is one player per team and NOT per club.
