Table Tennis

This club has a very poor record indeed this year—defaulting a very large number of matches. This seems to be the case in all colleges at the moment as one of our team at tournament B. Holingham, although winning the men's singles, did not get a Blue as the standard was too low. If this state of affairs was due to the fact that everyone was concentrating on outdoor activities it would not be so bad but from tournament results that it obviously not so, so all we can say is that this club ought to feel thoroughly ashamed of itself and make up its mind to do a lot better next year.

The club plays five teams in the Wellington Cricket Association's competition series and a further team from the Training College plays under the club auspices. In addition to the regular Saturday play, a team is sent on tour through some minor associations over the Christmas-New Year period and the club also takes part in the inter-college university tournament at Easter.

In the coming year our college will be hosts to Auckland before Easter and the team will travel to Christchurch at Easter to defend the honour of being the leading university team amongst the four colleges.

Regular practices are held during the season on Kelburn Park on the evenings of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, commencing at 5 p.m. All intending members who have not already done so are asked to communicate with the honorary secretary, Mr. J. H. Murray, c/o Atkinson Dale Mather & Watterson, solicitors. 217 Lambton Quay (tel. 43-087).
