The tournament info page mentions a Pot Luck Doubles event but no mention of it on the entry form...

Items relating to the 2010 Championships can now be posted here...

Thanks John, pleased you enjoyed it and great to see you again.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all concerned with the champs, and in particular Jimmy Farrow for inviting me! My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was great to see so many old friends. The standard of TT was really high, and a special well done to 'old guy' Andy Warner who seemed to be playing non stop all day long and still had the energy to provide great entertainment in two really tough finals.
I can see that rumours of the demise of table tennis in Ipswich are greatly exaggerated!

All match time cards will be posted or e-mailed today, if you don't receive anything by Monday please let me know.

Please be aware that the Handicap Singles on Saturday starts at 16.20 and the likely finishing time for the finalists are about 19.30-20.00.

Thanks Sean

Hi Richard, I've volunteered through Jim for Friday night not sure about Monday morning though, I'll see if I can get a local job and nip in to give you guys a hand.

Hi All. Just wanted to follow up on my post below. I've only heard since from one volunteer to help us set up on the Friday night (thanks Gary) so if anyone else is able to spare us some time we would be so grateful to hear from you.

Also I'm still keen to hear from anyone who thinks they can offer a non-TT and non-alcoholic raffle prize for the draw.

Thanks. Richard

The IDTTL championships are now only a month and a half away. The organisation is progressing well and entry numbers have been really encouraging at approaching the 100 mark. For anyone who hasn’t entered yet, please don’t assume you are now too late – just contact Jimmy and if we can fit you in then we will. This would be particularly good if you play in Divisions 2 or 3 where we have the lowest entry numbers.

There are a few areas on which I wanted to contact our league players, to ask for your help please.

- Posters – we are looking for as much advertising as possible and have a number of A4 posters available. If you could arrange for one or more of these to be displayed, say at a place of work or maybe a social venue, please contact me and I will arrange for some to be sent to you.

- Advertising IDTTL and Britannia – we have use of the Robert Cross Hall, beneath the Main Hall, for the duration of the event. We are hoping members of the public will pop in so we want to set up some information on the IDTTL and also Britannia TT Club, to encourage new players. Phoenix and the new Kesgrave clubs will also be represented. We need some volunteers to face this up to the public, i.e. answering questions and trying to encourage them to get involved – if you would be willing to do this for a few hours, please can you let me know.

- We need some strong armed volunteers to help set up and down the equipment. Tables will be delivered to the Corn Exchange around 4pm on the Friday evening (20th March) and if anyone can spare us an hour or two of their time to help get these up into the main hall and set up, it would be a huge help. The same applies for the following Monday morning, when we will need to get the tables put away and ready for collection. We really do need your help with this so if you can assist with one or both days, please can you let me know.

- Raffle – there will be a prize draw during the finals night, with tickets being sold throughout the event. We have 5 table tennis related prizes but now need some non-TT prizes. If you are able to donate anything (non-alcoholic I’m afraid) which would make a great draw prize, we would be really grateful – please contact me if you can offer anything.

Thanks for listening.

Richard

Thanks Gary, we should have about 90-100 entries which is absolutely brilliant, my only concenr is fitting all the matches in. But it's a nice problem to have.

now that closing date is up for championships ,i hope you have got a good entry ,for all the hard work you and others have put in to this years tournament,i do not know of another closed where so much is to be happening ,looking forward to it.

Thanks Sean, Aimee had the Ladies Singles, yes Ladies Doubles was one I was trying to track down.

My office is Oaksmere,Tomo Industrial Est, Creeting Road, Stowmarket.

Thanks again

Hi again Jim, when I saw you the other night I said I had the ladies singles trophy in my possession, I was mistaken it's the ladies doubles trophy. As for the others I'll drop them off to you, I'm bound to be in or around Stow in the next few days if not I'll pop them round your house during the week.

Thanks Sean that would be really helpful, could you drop them off ? Or I could collect from Dome when you are next playing up there?

Thanks

Jimmy

Jim, I've found a couple more trophies hidden in my cupboard! They are the Junior girls singles and the Cadet boys singles as these weren't played last year. I also have about 50 Stiga optimum balls, eight clipboards, pens and quite a few individual score sheets, hopefully they'll be of some use to you.
