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).

CERN Table Tennis Club Celebrating CERN 70th Anniversary

Special Table Tennis Tournament (inscription deadline postponed to Monday May 27, midnight)

May 27 to June 27, 2024

At the CERN TT Club general meeting, on March 16, it was decided that the next CERN Championship will take place on Friday August 18, evening (qualifications for half of the groups), Saturday August 19 morning (qualifications for the other half of the groups), and Saturday August 19, afternoon (main draw and consolation draw).

The group rounds serve to rank people. Usually we have groups of 4, so you are  ensured to play at least 3 matches in your group. The first two players of each group together with some of the best 3rd will play in the main draw. All the other player will have a second chance by playing in the consolation draw.

Inscriptions will open at the beginning of July, but it is time to seriously train for the event.

As the official competition season is finished in Geneva, you will always find free tables at the Meyrin club on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting around 17:00. So do not hesitate to come.

See you at the club.
