TTNZ Historical Chronicle

We are pleased to announce that a further 25 years (1959 to 1983) have been added to the History Chronicle (http://www.ttnzchronicle.org.nz). We were fortunate to have access to more than fifteen thousand newspaper cuttings from this era, carefully preserved by Ken Wilkinson, Frank O'Gorman, Alf Harding, Norm Ballinger, Bill Fogarty and others. This collection, along with other records, official and informal, constituted a goldmine of information which was meticulously researched by Chronicle author John Kiley resulting in a further 68,000 words of text added to the existing Chronicle.

Further work will be carried out to document our first 25 years (1934-1958) in due course.

International Exam Success.

The Umpires and Referees Committee congratulates Chiong Boon Ee, Catherine Moore, Hamish Rennie and Megan Stratford for successfully passing the ITTF International Umpire exam.

These good results come as a result of hard work by all these candidates. The International Umpires exam is a very demanding test of knowledge of the laws and regulations and it is very gratifying to have all four who sat the exam gain passes.

NZ Women's Team Does Well at World Team Championships

Congratulations to Li Chunli and our womens team (Sarah Her-Lee, Karen Li, Yang Sun, Annie Yang) for their results at the World Teams Championships. By qualifying 3rd in their group they have moved on to Stage Two of the competition competing for positions 25 to 36. Based on this and the results achieved by other Commonwealth teams at the event, our team will finish no lower than the 4th highest Commonwealth team at the event. This meets the NZOC/TTNZ Commonwealth Games qualification criteria and means that the womens team has joined Karen Li (as an individual) in qualifying for the Commonwealth Games, a fantastic achievement by the coach and the entire squad!

After losing their first match, our men have gone on to win all the other contests in their group and qualify second. They now go into Stage Two competing for positions 73 to 88.

We wish both teams the best of luck for their matches in the next stage of the tournament.
