Summary of day.
An excellent day’s table tennis played in a friendly competitive manner. The table tennis was of a very high standard and I’m sure both the players and the spectators enjoyed the day equally. Special thanks must go to Huddersfield table tennis and especially John Vaughan who was the best host any of us has ever met.- he even personally chaperoned us to the motorway linking road!
