Seven new qualified umpires for Cippenham

​

Good news for Cippenham TTC when it comes to availability of technical officials. As a result of a two-day course, hosted and organised by Cippenham in conjunction with Table Tennis England, seven Club members were trained and became qualified as Level 1 umpires. Congratulations to Joseph Caldeira, Jan Chapman, Keith Hall, Lawrence Harvey, Jonny Iles, Steve Piercey and Sunjay Thakker. Also qualified was Mehrdad Abutalebi from Basingstoke.

​

The is timely for the Club as it hosts the Cippenham Junior 4-Star Open Championships in a couple of weeks' time, an event that always stretches the resources of the Club in respect of the available supply of locally based umpires.

​

Grateful thanks are due to Cippenham Chairman Ken Phillips who organised and hosted the event and to renowned international umpire Harry Jutle who was tutor and assessor.
