Dear friends,

Another year of table tennis is behind us and it is time to reflect on some of our achievements during 2011. In the Autumn comp our Div'n 4 team of Mark Seeto, Angel Liu, Ryan Liu, Edward Chan & Eu-han Chin won the grand final and promotion to Div'n 3, whilst in Div'n 3 our B team of Sonny Ching, Weston Cai, Rod Falck and Greg Dabrowa finished runners up and won promotion to Div'n 2. Our Div'n 1 team of Richard Tanner and Paul Moody made it to the semis and just finished outside the trophies. 

In the Top 5 challenges our representatives in Div'n 4, Dennis Lee and Ryan Liu, came close, but just missed out by finishing equal 2nd. At the SND District championships held at the Brickpit we saw some top table tennis in the premier league. Trent Carter beat Chris Yan in the singles whilst Chris Yan and Sally Zhang won the prize money in the doubles. Our club members Richard Tanner and Stewart Mc Donald won the Div'n 1 doubles and Richard also finished runner up in the singles in that div'n. Ryan Liu won the Div'n 3 singles title, whilst Dennis Lee won the Div'n 2/3 doubles and was a bit unlucky by finishing 2nd in both the div'n 2 & 3 singles events. In the recently finished spring comp our best result was a semi final place for our Div'n 4 team of Vishal Bhagani, James Hong, Frank Dam & Theo Morsink.

At our recent Suns Club championships we welcomed a new champion in Michael Feng who beat James Wong and Paul Moody in a 3 way play off for the title. Other winners were as follows: Div'n 2: Dennis Lee, Div'n 3: Sarita Tam, Div'n 4: Thomas Ng, Div'n 5 & Juniors: Martin Lam. The Div'n 1 doubles were won by James Wong partnering Ryan Liu and Div'n 3/4 by Mark Seeto and Theo Morsink, whilst juniors Felix Yim and Grant Lian won div'n 5.                   Our Monday morning final event for Veterans was a more social event and in the singles was won by Frank Gilbane (mens) and Siu Yin Whye ( ladies). Both were also winners in the doubles with partners Paul Nielsen and Fay Brown respectively. The latter event was closed off with a very enjoyable social gathering and I would like to thank especially the ladies for all the goodies provided.

Congratulations to all the successful players. I hope all our members enjoyed their table tennis this year. I wish everybody a very merry Xmas and all the best for 2012. We start again on Friday the 3rd of February and for the Monday Retirees group on the 6th of February.

As a final note, the Autumn comp is expected to start early March, so if you want to join in you will have to let me know asap when we return. Also, we have a date already for the NSW Corporate Games, which for table tennis again will be held at the Brickpit on Saturday the 17th of March. If you or your Organisation wants to enter, please visit their website: www.corporatgames.net.au/nsw

Look forward to meeting you all again in 2012. Rgds, Theo Morsink, president Suns TTA Inc.
