Introduction time!

[Vinnie]

Hey Chris. Welcome!
This forum is a nice one, and in many ways better than larger ones.

A nice bunch of people here, so you'll be sure to learn heaps. I'm about the only idiot here, but that's just because half of my posts are about edge tape.

Thanx guys for the warm welcome....:)

I'll just put my walking frame and arthritis medication in the corner and make myself at home shall i? lol
(That's only half a joke coz I do have a dodgy arthritic hip and come home pretty sore some nights!!!!)

Speedplay, as I have gathered from some reading on here....it is VERY hard to judge playing standards of someone without actually playing them!! I haven't met or played anyone on here that I know of...but it will probably happen at some stage. I guess the local Victorian guys will have some idea if I say I have a TTV point rating of 944 at the moment. Maybe Level D on your forum ranking????
Big Ears...yes, seems like a good forum! I'm new to table tennis forums but have been involved on ebay forums a few years ago when I made my living selling on there....and also now I'm a "super poster" on an Antique Bottle Collectors forum (another passion of mine!!). Forums can certainly get nasty/messy, but if you keep the right frame of mind and don't get too involved in the politics...they are a wealth of information and a brilliant networking tool, not to mention a chance of making some great mates :)
Ok, I'm off to Frankston to see my middle daughter in a dance concert today! Have a good weekend all  :)
Cheers,
Chris

Welcome Chris, I hope you enjoy your stay at this Small Forum. A Sunbury Member is always welcome. I noticed a few new players in the A grade comp at Sunbury. The reason why you haven't seen me is due to my Knee Reco about 5 months ago. I have been dropping my Daughter of and going back home to catch up on some work. I do occasionally have a walk around and say hello to a few of my Friends.

Have you had a look at the current points - Club Based. http://www.insports.com.au/ttv/upload/points/TTVRankingsClubOct09.pdf
One of my partners in the MSAC Comp grew up in Shepparton - Adam Teague, did you ever play against him when he was a kid.
BTW, I will be playing next season down at Sunbury, thats if my knee holds up - had a small set back on Wednesday.

Thanx Vincent and Rob :)

Well Rob, I will probably have to play you next year then....I'm thinking of continuing there if the fuel prices don't get too high!!!

Yep, I have seen the current TTV points. Seems I'm second top in Shepparton now but that's not really that accurate as the other guys only get their points ranking from country week in June, and I'm the only one who plays any tournaments. There are also a few very handy players who don't play country week either.
As for Adam, no...have never met him, but have played against Nick Teague (brother???). I've only been playing in Shepparton for about 6 years. I played a season in Terang in the western district before that.
I live in Nagambie now which just puts me within striking distance of Sunbury (about an hour & 20 minutes drive). Many call me crazy!

Hope your setback wasn't too serious.

Cheers,
Chris
