Thanks guys for the info and hope that its true what you say.

It appears that many clubs are buying up a good supply of the old type balls before they go out of production.. However, is it definate that the old type can still be used as no one seems to know. I was thinking of stockpilling the old type but if they are banned it would be a waste if money.

Just seen the latest catalogue from Tees Sport and the price of Tenergy which is now at £64.99. I reckon it will not be long before one has to pay £100.

Apologies for the picture quality and must get a new recorder. May be a few more but had trouble loading them and some have come out corrupted. On the thumbnails upon the video finishing, you might find more from Canary Wharf taken in 2011 of which my grandson Carl (13 at the time) playing Preano.

Normally its better if you get there pretty early and book up 20 minute slots. It is again very busy but if its just a day out its worth going as you can always have something to eat and still watch any demomstrations which should be on Wednesday but its still worth taking your own bat plus...

Off to Ping Canary Wharf on Monday 5th and Wednesday. On Monday all the Morpeth girls should be there while on Wednesday Preano and Gavin Rumgay are doing a 2 hour stint and then after I hope to get my 2 youngsters to give them a knock. My grandson played Preano a couple of years ago and the...

After coaching my grandson regularly for 2 years and then not so much for the past year, I am finding it fairly hard to get back into some sort of rythem and last year hardly played a league match because of it so will continue coaching the youngstes. Good luck anyway.

Different site same brilliant young Fred and certainly he has been seeing the ball well for some time now. Poor old JKC and I wonder how much loinger he will last!!., lol

Not got a link but the form produced by the ETTA to renew is incorrect and out of date although I think they have not yet produced a new form and the one they are showing is an old one.

Just got a new laptop so this may have already been posted in the last few days although I could not see it but the ETTA membership is now £8 for seniors and £4 for juniors and cadets and has to be paid between 1st August to the 31st October.

Its about time the ETTA updated their membership section as they are still referring to 2007 dates and showing the fees as £4.28 when last year it was £6 unless it is shown somewhere else with correct figures. Heard that it MIGHT go up to £9/10 for the new season.

For those who may not know, Ray Lam passed away on the 5th June after illness. He played mainly in the Ilford league but also in the Romford and West Essex and others. Ray had represented Essex and also Hong Kong. At 60 he still had alot to give to the game and will be surely missed.

Grant Solder informed me today that Canary Wharf is again holding 'Ping' from the 13th July to the 22nd July. The normal guests have not yet been confirmed but will probably be the normal 'oldies' of Desmond Douglas and Carl Prean amongst others. Its a good day out especially for any youngster...

I think they have done better this season so far than for many a year as they were rubbish under Benitez for a long time. My team is Norwich - don't laugh.

Cool photo - just gorgeous.

Getting back to what I said earlier, I was not too bothered losing 11-0 even though it was the first time ever and never deserverd any better but if I had the chance to win by love, I think I would just continue playing as I had been but might just put the ball up so it would give my opponent...

A bit of a coincident this has come up. Just a few weeks ago after losing a tight first game the second set went to 16-14 against me although I had three chances to level the score to 1-1 but failed. Wow and behold, I lost the 3rd 11-0 which I think now perhaps I should have not tried so hard to...

The Morpeth School was mentioned in my original thread. As for wanting longer than 3 hours playing time, there are not many (even fit) players would want to play solid for this amount of time as can be seen at Morpeth where top class players only knock-up for around hour and a half - give or...

Just a quick word to thank the two John's for having a knock with Carl. Only found out last night that Fallen Angel was John Payne who played last Wednesday although I had a feeling who he was but having asked some others if the were Fallen Angel, completely forgot to ask John outright last...

I reckon you are pulling a fast one JKC and its Fred coaching you. lol
