Chairman’s Report

It would be wrong to paper over the problems that the association had last season off the

table and I will be addressing them later in this report but we must start on a positive

note. The standard in the top flight, and indeed throughout the league, was high and there

were some tight finishes throughout the divisions. We start this season with two more

teams giving full divisions for all but the Fourth.

Nationally our representative teams failed to achieve any successes and it is anticipated

that, this season, the association will be rationalising entries.

We have lost several long-standing members of the management committee. John Callcut

resigned as Chairman in the Spring and Tony Laws stood in until the AGM. John’s

overseeing of the anniversary events will be long remembered as well as his diplomatic

skills tested on too many occasions. Graham Watts completed a long stint as Tournament

Officer and, given the difficulties he has encountered over the years, his boots will be

very hard to fill. Trevor Free also decided that he had spent enough time cleaning

trophies and he has passed on the baton as Trophy Steward. Richard Carpenter, as

Handicap Cup Officer, together with his family organised a very tight competition

evidenced by the Final being decided in the final game. Brian Hartles has also left the

committee and his wise counsel will be missed.

So welcome to the new members of the committee. Carole Ingram has taken over as

General Secretary from me, Nick Gould has become Vice Chairman and also Handicap

Cup Officer, Fred Florance is the new Trophy Steward and Chris Hazlehurst the new

Tournament Officer. Hugh McKee and Peter Palmer have joined the committee as

additional members and John Callcut fills the new role of Development Officer.

The other remaining members of the committee continue to give countless hours to the

Association, John Robinson as Treasurer has faced problems which I am sure he did not

anticipate, Bob Hammond, the KO Cup Officer, remains a dependable rock and the hours

that Tony Laws puts in as Coaching Officer are phenomenal. These together with Phil

Snelson who continues to manage the league’s website deserve all our thanks.

And that brings me to the message that I wrote in the End of Season Report. There has

been a growing feeling amongst the officers that the association members take them for

granted and, indeed, expect them to paper over their own inefficiencies. Well this is the

season when it all changes otherwise there may not be a full committee next season. So a

list of actions, which if done, will make everyone’s life a lot simpler.

a) Keep the Match Secretary informed of postponements (see below)

b) Get tournament entries in by the deadline

c) Return polished trophies, from Christmas on, to the Centre

d) Accept whatever Handicaps are given with good grace

Unfortunately, since the AGM, the Match Secretary, Neil Harden, has resigned. I am

hoping he has a change of heart and re-joins the committee but in the meantime I will be

the Match Secretary. The work that Neil has done over the years has been phenomenal

and I am sure that all association members will echo my thanks for his hard work. By far

the easiest way of getting results to me is by the ‘enter a scorecard’ facility on the

website. Not only does it update the tables but it also comes straight through to me. This

negates the need for a stamp and envelope and also provides you with the original score-

sheet for your own records.

Last June we had another successful Presentation Evening which will probably be the last

at the Corporation Club. Maria Taylor-Woodward who, together with mum Lesley and

the rest of the Challoner club, have run the evening for twenty years has decided to finish.

As with Neil, I thank the Challoner crew from all Association members for their efforts

over the years. Any ideas over venue and format for next June’s Presentation Evening

will be gratefully received.

Finally two issues came through at the AGM. The need for all teams and clubs to conduct

themselves within the spirit of the game and not just the rules. Principally the

management of the selection of teams to ensure the playing field is kept as level as

possible. The AGM also requested that the Management Committee do not take the

initiative over foul serving but encourage umpires to exercise their duties as normal.

Hopefully next season the Chairman will be able to be more positive in his/her notes.

Enjoy the game.

LATE SCORECARDS

Clubs are reminded that fines of £5 will be levied for late or not submitted scorecards.

POSTPONEMENTS

Clubs note that postponements of any matches must first be cleared via the Match Secretary

and then the matches must be played in the time scheduled according to the rules.

MATCH START TIME

All matches commence at 7.30pm. This is the START time, players requiring knock-up

facilities must arrive well before this time. If a player is going to arrive after

9.00 pm, contact the opposition before hand to ensure that this is acceptable. If not then an

alternative player must be found.

MATCHES AT CHRIST’S COLLEGE

The cost of booking a table/match is £23 and all enquiries regarding the hiring and use of the

Centre to Tony Laws (01483 429294 – [email protected]).

All Godalming home matches (except the B team) are held on Tuesday evenings and the

Centre opens at 7.00 pm with matches starting at 7.30 pm. Generally there are one or two free

tables which will enable some games of some of the matches to be played on two tables if

required or preferred because of circumstances such as a young player needing to get away

early.Godalming B home night this season will be on Wednesdays open at 7.00 pm, starting

at 7.30 pm but finishing at 9.45 pm. Therefore because of the time limitation most games will

be played in parallel on two tables.

There are also tables available for practice on Wednesday evenings as an adjunct to the U3A

sessions which runs from 7pm to 9pm. The fee is £4 (£2 juniors) to be paid to Reg Wholey

who runs the session.

choose to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end. 2.13.2 When one player or pair has chosen to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end, the other player or

pair shall have the other choice. 2.16 THE SERVICE 2.6.1 Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server’s stationary free hand. 2.6.2 The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least

16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck. 2.6.3 As the ball is falling the server shall strike it so that it touches first his court and then, after passing over or

around the net assembly, touches directly the receiver’s court; in doubles, the ball shall touch successively the right half court of server and receiver.

2.6.4 From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing surface and behind the server’s end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry.

2.6.5 As soon as the ball has been projected, the server’s free arm and hand shall be removed from the area between the ball and the net. (Note: The space between the ball and the net is defined by the ball, the net and its indefinite upwards extension)

2.6.6 It is the responsibility of the player to serve so that the umpire or the assistant umpire can see that he complies with the requirements for good service.

2.6.6.1 If the umpire is doubtful of the legality of a service he may, on the first occasion in a match, declare a let and warn the server.

2.6.6.2 Any subsequent service of doubtful legality by him or his doubles partner will result in a point to the receiver. 2.6.6.3 Whenever there is a clear failure to comply with the requirements for a good service no warning shall be given

and the receiver shall score a point. 2.6.7 Exceptionally, the umpire may relax the requirements for a good service where he is satisfied that compliance is

prevented by physical disability.

SECTION 13 OF THE ITTF HANDBOOK FOR MATCH OFFICIALS

Time Outs In addition to the statutory intervals between games, each player or pair, or their captain or adviser on their behalf, is entitled to claim a time-out period of up to 1 minute during an individual match. Making a T-sign with the hands indicates the request, which can be made only between rallies. Play is resumed when this player or pair is ready to do so or at the end of 1 minute, whichever is the sooner. During the time-out period, the player or pair calling the time-out, and their opponents, are both free to talk to their captain or adviser or not as they desire.

HELP NEEDED WITH OUR TABLE TENNIS COACHING, FRIDAY EVENINGS

THE GUIDFORD TABLE TENNIS CENTRE CHRIST’S COLLEGE, Larch Avenue, Guildford, GU1 1LJ

Car park and entrance for The Sports Hall at rear of the school. Friday evenings, 7.45. to 9.45 p.m., Doors open 7.30 p.m.

Guildford Table Tennis Association Coaching on Friday evenings requires volunteers to assist our inspirational coach, former England International, Michael Chan. Michael began his table tennis at the Guildford TT Association coaching sessions two decades ago when Neil Harden was our Coaching Officer. These days in the new school hall we are able to operate with up to 14 tables. Ideally we would like a competent player “feeding” a trainee on each table. The evening is usually structured into three periods, the first two focused on techniques and practice drills, the last one on games where everyone including the coaches and helpers can join in. We have about about 15 trainees attending regularly, from age 7. Many former and current trainees are playing in the GTTA League, including 18 year old Miss Feifei Pei (no longer a junior (U18) and was Surrey’s top junior girl who at 14 was the youngest ever Guildford senior Womans singles champion. The current junior boys champions including Scott Gotham (U18), Dominic Carpenter (U15) Georg Helling (U13) and Milan Sajiv (U9). Special awards last season were presented to Joseph Lambert (U14), Adit Gandi (U9), Milan Swarmy (U110 and Guy Kelly (U15). We believe that several of our younger players have the potential to develop to county level and we intend to enter a boys team in the national English Leagues Cup Competion this season. The ETTA qualified coaches regularly assisting Michael Chan have been: Chris Andrews (Surrey TTA Press Officer) Shula Laws and Tony Laws. The GTTA is keen to see more players becoming actively involved and we are willing to contribute towards coaching courses leading to ETTA qualifications.. Generaly we operate over the season during the same weeks as the Guildford League, plus an additional 10 weeks continuing into the summer. If you would like more information please give me a call, otherwise just turn up at 7.30pm. NB: due to strict regulations imposed by the school:

• Only non marking footwear allowed in the sports hall

• No one allowed to enter the hall with footwear worn outside the building

• Only non-spill drinking bottles can be taken into the hall Looking forward to seeing you. Tony Laws GTTA Coaching Officer 01483 429284 [email protected]
