Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 21, No. 3. April 1, 1958

Ping-Pong

Ping-Pong

The Table Tennis Club is to hold its A.G.M. on Monday, 14th of April it is hoped that this article will convey to non-members something of the activities and atmosphere of the Club. We cater, in inter-club, for players of abilities from provincial standard (in 1957 the "A" Grade team were runners-up in the Competition) to merely social members who play "H' Grade. Last year we had 13 teams within these limits. Apart from the inter-club teams, members may join and merely attend Club nights, which incidentally are Mondays, and are therefore not under obligation to attend every week but just as they can manage it. It may be worth mentioning that to be eligible for Winter Tournament you have to play for the University Inter-club team.

Coaching, if you desire it, is done largely by Senior members of the Club and a table is always available in the Gym. for practice at odd times. There appear to be a large number of quite competent players who do use the practice table but whom we do not see at the Club and who would be very welcome. There are grand opportunities for women players who want to attempt to reach the heights of tournament play and also as players in inter-club teams.

By attending the A.G.M. you do not commit yourself, so come along and see the club in action anyway. Past members are warned that if they turn up without at least one new member they will be osctracised. So if you don't know one end of a bat from the other or are a fanatic the date is 14th of April at 7 p.m. in the Upper Gym.
