Brand New Table Arrived

With our players help, the new table final got into our club. Now we have three high-quality tables for players to enjoy!

We had purchased another tournament quality table that was used in the 2012 US Open in Las Vegas. This is our second very high quality table and yes, she is bright blue like her sister.

Notice

we have received dozens and dozens of requests from people requesting membership. With the limited number of tables, we will limit the number of players at 16 at one time and continue with the 20 minutes time limit per session. Again we would ask for your cooperation to ensure that everyone gets playing time on the tables.

Club Closure Tonight due to weather

Due to bad weather today, our club has to be closed temporarily tonight. Please stay safe and warm.

Check Burlington weather forcast for more information.

Please read : Important

To all Please take the time to read. It is important. On Friday, we attempted to increase the number of players on the floor by dedicating a “doubles only” table. Well, although players definitely enjoyed themselves playing doubles, the overall experiment was a failure. Simply stated, we rely on players to know when to play when it’s their turn, however the more players on the floor the more difficult this becomes and yesterday was a confirmation of this fact. Some players got to play 6 to 8 times while other played only 3 to 4 times. This is simply not acceptable. I do not want to implement a method where players get assigned a number and play in turn but Continue reading

Friday, Sept 28th Reminder

All Please remember that the club is closed tonight.. Sessions will restart as regular up to April 2019 as usual every Friday. Last week, attendance was much lower than usual, for no obvious reasons. See you next friday Yvan

1st session is done

All I believe that our first session was a success. The new floor is good and dampens the bounce of the ball however renders the room very noisy, which we cannot do anything about. Tables are as good as we left them 15 months ago, so is the space available to play. Unfortunately, we had to refuse entry to over 12 people that wanted to play due to the limited number of tables. To allow sufficient playing time, we cannot accept more players that our currently limit of 17 players… No way around that. We will continue trying to find suitable locations to host our club but per experience, this has been impossible so far. We had 2 ladder matches, Continue reading

Friday, September 28th 2018

All I still have delays with the City to sign the contract but they assured me that storage will be available and we can start Sept 7th. Damir, Brandt, Walter and I will move the tables on the 4th to be ready to play on our 5 tables. Not wanting to get your hopes up but I am considering buying a new blue table to replace the old green one. Stay tuned. If you want to try rubbers, I will bring used rubbers that I can put on your current blade.. No charge.. I will still be available for training sessions. Rules reminder for all Maximum number of players on the floor at one time is set at a maximum Continue reading
