A full report on this week's Hard Bat Competition can now be found on the Match Reports page

Sad news has reached us today of the passing of Pete Kenyon after a long illness.
Pete played in our league for many years and was Open Singles Champion in 1963/4 and was Runner Up on five occassions.
Pete not only spent a lot of time in our league on the table, he also served on the Committee for many years in various roles.
Our condolences go to all his family and close friends, may he rest in peace.

Congratulations to Jack Kirkland who tonight won the Hard Bat Competition beating Rob Vaughan in the final.
Well done Jack!
Thanks for everyone who turned up to play and a massive thanks to Nigel and Fiona Stent for running the competition.

The next two practice sessions on Saturday mornings at Worksop Leisure Centre have had to be cancelled (8th and 15th of September) due to holidays.
The sessions will return as normal on the 22nd of September.

Please find below the details of this season's Junior League run by Paul Johnson at Redlands School.
This is a fantastic opportunity for young people in and around the Worksop area, to access some reasonably regular competitive play against players of a similar age and ability to them. For a lot of players, this may well be their first taste of competitive table tennis, and this should be an opportunity for those players to grasp at and enjoy what competitive table tennis has to offer. For those more experienced players, the league will provide some great local competition against players of a similar age and ability, which will be fantastic for their development within the sport.
The Worksop Junior League is open to boys and girls of all abilities, who live in and around Worksop and who are still at school.
The cost of the league is £25.00, and this covers all 5 days of competition. The league will take place from 1.30pm – 5.00pm on the following Saturday dates:
Saturday 13th October 2018
Saturday 10th November 2018
Saturday 1st December 2018
Saturday 26th January 2019
Saturday 9th March 2019
By registering for the Junior League, players are making a commitment to attend all dates given above.
The format of the league will be, where possible, divisions of 5-7 players, ensuring that all players will have a minimum of 4 singles matches per day. Each match will consist of playing 3 sets where a point is awarded for each set won. After each days play, players will be promoted or relegated depending on points won in that round. Promotion and relegation will only take place across the first 3 rounds, thereafter the divisions will be fixed. The final days play in March will determine the Worksop Junior League champions from each division.
All matches will be played at the following address:
Redlands Table Tennis Centre
Crown Street,
