II.      Apologies

III.      Players passing

 a)             Ken Jones - we would like to mark the passing of Ken Jones earlier this year at the age of 90. Ken was the Chairman of the Eastern Valley Table Tennis League from 1965 until 1982 and also briefly held the role of fixture secretary. He represented the league on numerous occasions in the Welsh League and continued playing for the Pontypool Club until 1997. A true stalwart of Eastern Valley Table Tennis who will be greatly missed.

b)             Also the passing of Alan Howse in December 2020 at the age of 80. Alan played in Eastern Valley League for many years representing many clubs across the Cwmbran area.

Alan finished playing in the 2017/2018 season and always said he was the longest surviving member of many of the former clubs including Coed Eva, Fairwater, Ashley House and Cwmbran Stadium.

c)              Ian Jeanes - It is with great sadness we heard of the death of Ian Jeanes in August 2021. Many Gwent players will have know Ian from playing with him in Cardiff and occasionally further afield. Very sad news for his family and our deepest condolences are with his family currently.
