Provisional programme
Welcome…..
Welcome to the Women’s British League at Aldersley Leisure Village for the start of the 2021/22 season.
Thank you for attending this event, which is one of the first British League events to be staged after the long lockdown imposed on us due to the pandemic, and to that end I hope that you are all well and raring to go. Some restrictions are in place such as wearing a facemask when entering the building but not the playing area unless you want to. The use of hand sanitisers is also recommended.
I would like to thank the staff here at the Aldersley Sports Village for their help in putting on this event, and the Table Tennis England staff and volunteers without whom we would not have an event.
We will again be giving the player of the weekend and team of the weekend awards.
Bribar are also in attendance to give advice, and if you wish to make a purchase, so please make use of their stand.
