Table Tennis

KAITAIA CLUB There was not as good an attendance as usual at the Table Tennis club night in the A. and ’P. Hall on Tuesday, due mainly to the cold, wet weather conditions. Still, those pres-'' ent spent an enjoyable evening in tingles, doubles and combines. Next Tuesday, the weekly club night will be replaced with a visit to Takahut ; the bus leaves the post office at 7 p.m. There will be plenty of seating accommodation, and members are asked to roll up in force to make the visit a huge success. TAKAHUE CLUB The Takahue Table Tennis members spent a very enjoyable evening on Tuesday last when they were visited by members of the Fairburns Club. Fairburns led by 37 to 27 in the singles ; in the doubles and combined doubles, however, Takahue won 31-1, making the result a draw, each Club gaining 38 games. A return match will be played at Fairburns in a fortnight’s time. Next Tuesday, Takahue will play a further match against Kaitaia.
