Marilyn
Knight Visits STTTA Centre It was good to see
Marilyn Knight at the Kingston centre recently. Marilyn was a State
Representative in the 1970's.
New plastic
balls breaking early Let's hope the production
technology for plastic balls improves over time as they appear to break easily
at present. The coming cold weather will no help. I hear that Nittaku and
Butterfly are not supplying celluloid balls.

Old 'Mercury' Newspaper articles
If you go to this link you will be able to read articles on
Tasmanian Table Tennis going back many years. Very interesting to read. At one
stage a player in Hobart interrupted his matches to nick over to the RHH to
perform an appendectomy, then return to continue playing.

FAMOUS
QUOTES Here are a few player quotes from past:
-
I wasted my ability on the unworthy.
-
Right you scrubbers, off the tables.
-
Why can't I get a donkey the first round like the rest of
you.
-
If I hadn't lost that round I would have beaten you.
-
I went asleep at the wheel.
-
If there were two of me we could have won that doubles.
-
My grandmother can play better than you
