Hi Everyone,

Friday Club Night
– Thanks to Brendan, Chris, Euan, Robbie and Keith for their support on Friday night.
– I hope everyone enjoyed the league ladder.
– Well done to everyone who took part and here are the results below:

– Club nights have been cancelled for 24th Dec, 31st Dec and 7th January 2022.
– All being well the club will return on Friday 14th January 2022.

Club Fees
– As a result of the sports centre closing 3 sessions over festive period.
– I would ask club members to stop payment of club fees for the month of January.
– Understandably a few members have decided not to attend until they feel it is safe to do so.
– If those members could arrange to stop your club fees and advise me when they plan to do so that would be good.
– We appreciate you will support us on your return.

Festive Break
– Have a good break and hopefully we will see everyone when we return in January.

Take care and stay safe.

Thanks for your support,

Peter

EKTTC Coaches Meeting – Wednesday 24th November
– On Wednesday night the club coaches discussed the feedback on our recent club survey.
– The response to the survey was very positive and the coaches appreciate the kind words that were expressed.
– As a result of survey and feedback we have slightly altered the format for future Friday club night sessions which will allow for more game time.

Video/ Photography
– Please note that only club coaches have the consent to video or photograph club members at the club night or any other TT event.
– Under current Safeguarding guidelines the club coaches have to ensure that any video/photos are only taken on club devices.

AMC
– The club has been made aware that Alistair McCoist Complex will now not be available to the club until February 2022.
– This is unfortunate as the club had hoped and had planned to be back at AMC last month.
– I will keep you posted on future developments.

Hi everyone

Friday Club Night
– Along with Keith on Friday night, I worked for the first time since our return with some of our young beginners.
– I was encouraged to see how they are making progress and playing with a smile on their face.
– It would be a challenge for any young person to come into a club environment and participate in a sport you have never thought about.
– This young group get on so well and thanks to the work of Chris, Brendan and Keith are developing their skills.
– At the same time Euan was working with our intermediate group and engaged them with drills and games.
– Another group who thanks to Euan are enjoying the challenges he has been setting them over the past few weeks.

Hi everyone,

Friday Club Night
– Some players at the club are beginning to show signs that after a couple months of practice it feels like they have never been away.
– While for others frustration can creep in because one particular stroke is not working correctly or our decision making is not what it was in the past.
– We just need to be patient and continue work on what’s going well.
– We can take our negatives or weakness one at a time and work through them.
– The coaches are always available for support.
– We welcomed a new member Paulina and we say goodbye and thanks to younger member Mark Hamilton who gave TT a try but sadly it’s not for him.
– Many thanks to Rae Jack (Inverness TTC) who was in the area visiting and popped in to enjoy our club night.

Thanks
– To Brendan, Euan and Robbie for their support on Friday night.

Hi everyone

Friday Club Night – JWSC
– Very pleased to see our younger players now settling in to our club night.
– Many have just joined in recent months and we can already see them making progress.
– The confidence is growing and with additional practice at home we have seen their skills improve.
– We are starting to put in place more structured sessions to enable all player’s to develop their skills.
– These will take place at start of club night and be organised by one of our club coaches.
– However we will always finish the session with games so that players can practice the new skills they have learned and are hopefully keen to practice.

Thanks
– Brendan, Euan, Robbie, Bill, Keith and Peter McCluskey for their support on Friday night.
– We also appreciate everyone who is helping to set up and pack up equipment.

– Great to see the hall busy and all the tables full and everyone enjoying the table tennis.

Tuesday Club night @ AMC
– Part of the floor at Alistair McCoist Complex is in need of repair which is causing a delay in the centre opening up again.
– Hopefully we will receive a date in coming week when we can restart.
