Hamilton Grammar
- I went along to Hamilton Grammar for a short visit on Tuesday to TT lunchtime club.
- I met up with Active Schools Clare Murphy, Mr.Dyett (PE teacher) and pupils attending the club.
- PE teachers seem to be very keen on table tennis and appear to have a good understanding of the sport.
- As a result this helps them to guide pupils who select TT as a sport through Nat 5 exams.
- I was also impressed with all 16 pupils in attendance (including club player Robbie McKenzie) making the effort at lunchtime to take at least 6 TT tables upstairs
to a gym hall using a lift and then setting up for 30 mins of TT before returning tables. I wonder how many other school pupils would make that effort at lunchtime. - Looking forward to my next visit.
EK Sports Council Awards
- Delighted to have received East Kilbride Sports Council Coach of the Year 2017 on Saturday night at EK Village theatre.
- I feel it also recognises the strides EKTTC has made in the past year.
- Thanks to Chris McKenna who nominated me for this award and to everyone for their kind comments.
