Dear Colleagues,

Come to the lawn at Restaurant 1 on May 14, starting at 11:30,  to support the CERN Table Tennis Club.

You may contact Bugra Bilin or Gianluca Rigoletti, who are coordinating the event, in case you are available to help.

On March 27, at the annual general meeting of the CERN TT Club, the Committee was renewed, and we have the pleasure to welcome a new member, Emmett Salzer.

The annual meeting will take place on Thursday March 27, from 12:00 to 13:30 in room 14/5-022

The club must hold one general meeting each year, as this is imposed by the CCC, so that we may receive subsidies.

All members are invited and you are strongly encouraged to come and sign your name on the presence list, as this is helping the Club. If you are not yet a member you are also invited, so that you will get an idea of what the club can offer.

I hope to see you all next Thursday

Jean-Pierre Revol, President of the CERN TT Club

Please join us on the occasion of the CERN Relay race on May 14.

We intend to set up a table on the lawn near the LHC magnet and

(1) Our best players will be showing off ...

(2) Letting anyone passing by try playing

Please contact either Gianluca (gianluca.rigoletti@cern.ch) or Bugra (Bugra.Bilin@cern.ch) if you are available to help that day

Just a few things to do just before the start of the race:

– move one table to the lawn

– make paddles and balls available

– prepare an distribute leaflets to advertise the CERN TT Club

The event that took place at the Meyrin CTT was a success, as usual.

The CERN 2024 champion is Mark Varadi , who beat the President of the CERN TT Club in the final !

The consolation draw was won by Jorge Playan Garai

The tournament was brilliantly won by Bertrand Mouches, who beat Yukai ZHAO 3 sets to 0.

In the semifinals Yukai had won against Pascal Pralavorio (3-0) and Bertrand against David Forkel (3-0).
