Senior competition
By now the league is over halfway through. Here is a brief update.
Teams 2 (Brian) and 6 (Georgios) can’t fail to win the championship in the major league and the fourth class, respectively. Team 8 (Gerard) is also on a championship track.
In the duo competition, team 1 (Sergii) is on course for the 4th class championship. However, rival HTC still has to be dealt with. Team 2 (Viktor) is also well on the way to the championship.
The flowers have already been reserved!
Team 1 (Arjan) will easily maintain its 2nd place in the national 3rd division. Team 4 (Harry) and 9 (Marco) are going to easily maintain themselves in the 3rd and 5th class, respectively.
Then the ‘doubt’ cases.
Team 5 (Viktor), promoted to the 3rd class last season, still has chances at the championship. However, it needs to make up a 3-point deficit on TTAZ. A tough job. Team 7 (Paul), despite a good 7-3 win over rival HTC, is not yet completely out of the danger zone in the 4th class. Team 3 (Gijs), too, still has to stay alert to avoid the spectre of relegation in the 2nd class.
So all in all, it looks like we will have a lot of championships to celebrate!
Good luck and have fun everyone with the final matches!
Festive conclusion of the 75th anniversary of TTV Amstelveen
On Saturday, November 23rd, TTV Amstelveen festively wrapped up its 75th anniversary.
The club’s board and some enthusiastic volunteers organized a special event to mark the end of this remarkable jubilee year.
The celebrations kicked off with an amazing table tennis extravaganza for the kids.
Over 35 children, accompanied by their parents, had a blast in the table tennis garden set up by MJ Table Tennis. The garden offered a variety of table tennis tables, including a round table, a table tennis robot, a ball floater, mini tables, a panther table, a golden table, a candy table, a target board, and much more.
After a short break, where the kids enjoyed unlimited free snacks, sweets, and drinks, the party continued in the table tennis garden. After more than 4 hours of sports and play, all participants, thanks to the efforts of MJ and the coaches, looked back on an unforgettable afternoon.
After the board and some volunteers transformed the canteen, the youth made way for the seniors and their guests.
Although not as many people signed up as expected, the evening turned out to be particularly cozy with the limited company, and those who were absent were wrong.
Upon entry, everyone received a flower garland around their neck, emphasizing the tropical atmosphere.
With the DJ’s music, who perfectly tailored his playlist to the audience, it became a particularly lively and sometimes exuberant evening.
The dance floor even became “overcrowded” at times.
The drinks flowed freely, and the wide selection of snacks completed the party. At midnight, we closed the evening and with it the jubilee year.
All visitors went home satisfied.
