Be inspired: Why not come along to Faldingworth Memorial Hall for a game of social table tennis. Every Friday throughout the winter. The Market Rasen TTC is in the village hall and welcomes all ages to their group for "Social" table tennis. All equipment provided even a bat for you to loan - learn to play or just enjoy a fun evening with your colleagues. There is a poster on the wall at the hall with more details. Just to inspire you: Recently, in July, in Budapest a photo taken at the Medal Ceremony of the lady who runs the club, winning the Bronze Medal in the recently held European Vetts Championships in Hungary. A little old you might say !!!??? its a life-time sport - you play to your own pace. Its only one medal of many for her, she has won many different colours in her life time.
On Saturday 7th July 2018 the National Assoc. of Boys and Girls Clubs Table Tennis Championship finals took place at Dean’s Sport & Leisure, Lincoln. The Market Rasen Junior Table Tennis Club entered Jacob Bennett, James Naseby and Henry James. Both Jacob and James already play in the Lincoln League in the 2nd Division (we came runners up this year – Jacob with an impressive 95% and James 55% in his first season of league play – quite an achievement for the young folk). Henry, playing in his first competitive competition ever at these Championships, will be joining the boys next season together with his friend Tom Weeks both from Middle Rasen and Alister McNeil of Moortown – another up and coming junior. Jacob who played in the U’19’s category and finished in 2nd place, said, “This is the first time I have played against a guy in a wheelchair – what a great experience to witness how he still excels in his sport”. James played in the U’16’s category and finished in 3rd place. He said “I am glad I came and enjoyed all my tight matches, I hope to play in some more tournaments in the future”. Henry, who played in the U’14’s category and finished in 6th place said “This was the first time I have played in a tournament and I think that I have improved a lot having played it”.

Thanks to all the parents who came along it was great to see over 20 people enjoying playing, drinking tea/coffee and eating mince pies. What a welcome the local folk gave us!! We are now hoping to arrange coaching courses for young players/beginners/advanced groups when we start up again in the New Year. All ages are welcome.
Thank you for coming Merry Christmas.

SPOTLIGHT ON CHLOE LINGARD
Chloe, aged 11 years, of Keelby Primary School has been playing table tennis for less than a year. She is coached at the Market Rasen TT Club by Bryn Tyler (UKCC level 2 coach). She has now collected a string of trophies in the Grimsby,Cleethorpes & District Schools by winning the Under 12s, Under 15s and Under 18s. Chloe recently won a place in the 11-14 Midlands Area (regional qualification) held at Grantham to take part in the Nationals held in May at Tipton Sports Academy, Birmingham. Chloe's eyes are on National glory and her aim is to compete in the Olympics one day.
Chloe has a tremendous passion for the game; her enthusiasm is second to none. We all hope she fulfils her ambitions. She will be attending tournaments this year and will most certainly be picked for Lincolnshire's County Cadet team this coming season.
Just a few of the juniors on the who attend Market Rasen TT Club held in the gymnasium of the De-Aston School. The latest addition to our group looks to be a very promising player, Luke Mimmo, aged 9yrs who lives in Immingham (seen in the photograph).

VETTS BRITISH LEAGUE -"WINNERS"
The second weekend in Doncaster on the 25th/26thJanuary 2014 our LADIES I finished at the top of the PREMIER DIVISION. I believe this is a first as they have finished runners-up the previous 2 seasons.What a tight finish with "The Bribar Bunch" again. Equal on points and sets after the first weekend (played in Hereford) and into the last match still equal on points and sets (the 5thmatch against "Bribar Bunch" on the Sunday clinched the 2 points needed to WIN.
Congratulations to Lesley Keast (captain) with Rosemary Rainton and Jane Vickers - they played all 10 matches over the two weekends - A REAL TEAM EFFORT!!!
Disapointment for our Mens' Premier Division team. Thomasz Rzeszotko (our No.1) dislocated his knee 2 weeks earlier playing in the Vetts Western Masters. The team sadly struggled on but could not avoid relegation to the 1stdivision.
Our 2nd Ladies Team lost out on promotion to the 1st division Ladies by only 1 set to their arch rivals RTA - never mind we will all give it another go next season.

National Junior League 2012/2013
A County Development Squad training session was held on Saturday 24th August at De-Aston Market Rasen. There were cadets (U'15)s from Grantham, Scunthorpe,Lincoln, Skegness, Immingham,Grimsbyand Market Rasen at the 5 hour training session on 10 tables - 20 boys/girls. The session was led and coached by Bryn Tyler UKCC Level 2.
For the past 5 years we have organised in the De-Aston Sports Centre a National Cadet League or a National Junior League. Last season was our last one so it was interesting for our 3 teams (mainly De-Aston pupils) to travel to Scunthorpe for this competition on four Saturdays during the winter months
(2 before Christmas and 2 after). No Cadets league so they all played in the older aged National Junior League.
Nick Keast, Pearce Mitchell, Declan Dickinson, Macauley Bowers, Jordan Ogungbo, Dominic Batey, Jacob Bennett, Jake Hearn, Chloe Brack, Lewis Brack and Jacob Lowe (from the Healing School) and Chloe Lingard (from Keelby Primary) played in 3 teams. Almost all of the above-named were in their first year of table tennis so they all competed in the 2nd division. Rasen A won the division and were presented with ETTA winners medals with Rasen C coming 2nd. All smartly turned out in the royal blue/black shirts of the Market Rasen TT Club.Because this was a recognised National competition, their wins led to them picking up England ranking points in the Junior lists - this gave a lot of motivation to winning as many matches as they could and will carry forward to next year.
Rasen 'A' - the winners.
National Cadet League Runners-Up 2011/2012
Rasen Racers, consisting of 3 young brothers, all pupils of De-Aston School and living in Market Rasen exceeded all expectations by finishing runners-up in the Premier Division team event of the National Cadet League played at Wellingborough over four week-ends.
The enthusiastic and talented team produced some outstanding individual performances
British Junior League 2011/2012
In the Junior British League 2011-2012 season the Market Rasen TTC continued to field a team. In the Boys Division 4A with Ryan and Dean Richardson (from Northumberland) and Henry McTernan the "Rasen Racers" finished in 4th position. Both weekends were keenly fought and we were well pleased with the team's performance.
British Junior League 2012/2013
2012/2013 was a difficult season. With Adam Curran playing the first week-end and Adam Jepson the second the twins James & Thomas Keast of Market Rasen TTC and De-Aston School made their debut. This is the most prestigious league National team competition there is and the boys acquitted themselves admirably. Finishing 3rd in the final table for Division 4A. - We could have finished in 2nd place and won ourselves a place in Division 3 but we will have to wait until next season to see teams entered. We were equal with Morpeth Greenhouse on everything except we lost a close match which we should have drawn then we would have been equal on points - interesting.

MARKET RASEN VETERAN TABLE TENNIS TEAMS IN NATIONAL COMPETITION
The first weekend of the Veterans British League took place in Hereford on 6th/7th November 2010. With Market Rasen teams in both Mens and Ladies Premier Divisions.
In the photo are the squads from left to right: Joanne Kennedy, Richard Lightowler, Lesley Keast, Jimmy Walsh, Denise McEvoy, Jimmy Brewster, Brian Hill and Jane Vickers.
For the first time the mens' team were playing in the Premier Division and their results showed that they must practise even harder if they are to stay in this Division next season. They had 1 victory out of 5 matches and drew one other gaining just 3 points - but they were not at the bottom of the division and had had some very close games that could have been winning matches. The squad consists mainly of Lincolnshire home grown players and bodes well for the future.
The Ladies team also playing in the Premier Division with Lesley Keast, former Welsh International, from Market Rasen and the remaining players from the East Midlands. They played well and with 3 wins and 2 draws, unbeaten after 5 matches, they top the Premier Division with 8 points. Lesley and Jane Vickers, from Derbyshire, winning 8 out of 10 and 7 out of 8 respectively. An excellent week end.

Bryn Tyler and Lesley Keast both qualified ETTA coaches and Welsh International players were able to help the youngsters with coaching on how to win matches, and the need for consistency and good footwork. The youngsters are training for County matches in the County Championships in the forthcoming season.
A second County Training day was held in October with Paul Johnson from Gainsborough as the leading coach, he is the current Senior Lincolnshire Men's Champion for 2009/10 season. Again the players were put through their paces for a 4 hour stretch to prepare them for the two County Junior team events at Halifax and Draycott in Derby the following Saturday. Both teams had good wins on the day and benefited by these training sessions.
12 invited players on each occasion came from Ancaster, Grantham, Scunthorpe, Skegness, Grimsby, Caistor and Market Rasen. The Centre is ideal for such training days and will be used as often as possible.

finish in 3rd place in the division. The division was keenly fought throughout the 2 week-ends (10 matches played). Our team drew 6 matches, two of which were against the 1st and 2nd place teams.
JUNIOR BRITISH LEAGUE 2010/11
The finishing position of Market Rasen Racers in the prestigious Junior British League. To finish in 3rd position in our first season was a great boost for our team. Every match in the division was hard, as all the teams were very strong in depth and any team could win on their day.
Our three players Henry McTernan, Liam Rowson and Ben Anderson all performed admirably and stuck it out to the bitter end. They worked well as a team and with added strength next year may even aspire to the higher divisions. Rasen Racers will be there to compete next year you can be sure. We drew no fewer than 6 matches, a fine line between winning and losing, drawing with both of the 1st and 2nd place teams on one occasion
