The English branch of the Swaythling Club International (SCI) met on the morning of finals day at the National Championships.
Once again, we are grateful to Table Tennis England for hosting the meeting.
As usual the meeting was an opportunity for our members to hear about the latest SCI developments and to exchange news.
It was noted the SCI AGM is to be held on 26th May 2023 during the World Championships in Durban.
Members also took the opportunity to sign a birthday card for Diane Schöler who celebrated her 90th birthday on Fridsay 14th April and we send our best wishes.
The meeting was unanimous in expressing a wish to have a formal dinner at next year’s National Championships and it was agreed to explore the possibilities once the venue was confirmed.
This year’s SCI Fair Play Award was won by Ross Wilson who unfortunately was not present on the Sunday.
It was, therefore, agreed that Karen Tonge would arrange for a presentation to be made to Ross at the Para National Championships in April.
