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)
b)
c)
d)
Keep the Match Secretary informed of postponements (see below)
Get tournament entries in by the deadline
Return polished trophies, from Christmas on, to the Centre
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 scoresheet 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 – tlaws@supanet.com).
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.

ENGLISH TABLE TENNIS ASSOCIATION APPROVED LAWS OF TABLE TENNIS
There has been a specific request to clarify certain rules that have been subject to dispute:
2.13
2.13.1
2.13.2
THE ORDER OF SERVING, RECEIVING AND ENDS
The right to choose the initial order of serving, receiving and ends shall be decided by lot and the winner may
choose to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end.
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
2.6.1
2.6.2
THE SERVICE
Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server’s stationary free hand.
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.
