Latest News | Worksop Table Tennis League

As we have had so many entries for the Hard Bat coupled with the fact we only have so many tables and a time limit at the Leisure Centre we cannot accept any more entries.
Can I please ask that if you have put your name down to play in the Hard Bat competition and you cannot play, please let me know as I have a someone as first reserve who wants to play.

Just a quick e-mail for all team Captains that handbooks for the new season will be ready to collect from Worksop Leisure Centre on Tuesday the 4th of September from 6.45pm onwards.
Can I ask that one person per team collects them on their team's behalf as they will not be handed out individually.
This date is also the same night as the Hard Bat Competition which is being held at the Leisure Centre in the usual hall where league games are played.
A reminder that the deadline for entries for the Hard Bat Competition is this Saturday the 25th of August at 5.00pm.

Congratulations to Goodbye Mr Winton who won the Summer League Final on Tuesday night.
They defeated The Grand Dad's 11-4 in the first semi-final and went on to beat The Odd Bats 8-7 in the final.
A big thank you to Kay and Alan Wilson who ran the Summer League this year and did a superb job of it.
Thank you to everyone who took part, it's been a great competition.

The League are looking at promoting Table Tennis in the work place. If you are currently employed in the Worksop Area and you want to get your fellow colleagues to have a go at our sport. There is an opportunity for your league to provide you and your organisation some equipment. We may supply you with a pull out net, four bats and some balls to get you started. The idea is that for example you put some desks together in your work place to form a makeshift table and use the pull out net.

Andy Lee has used this principle with his employer in Sheffield and has 20 colleagues regularly taking part and has held a tournament in the Work Place. The employer is now looking at getting a full size table on to the premises. This has been a great success and if the colleagues had lived nearer to Worksop some of them had indicated they would have joined our clubs.

On the back of this we want to try this principle in the Worksop Area. All we ask that who ever applies for some equipment let us know who their employer is, promotes our sport and provides regular feedback to the committee on how it is going.

The end game is to try and get more people coming to our clubs and ultimately playing in our league.

So apply now if you would like to help promote our sport by e-mailing [email protected]
