First day covers from the People’s Republic of China 25.4.65 from Peking (above) and Shanghai (below) owards the end of June your Editor T and his partner Nita took a weekend break in the Hungarian capital Budapest. Knowing that Hungary provided many of the early World champions, right from its beginnings in 1926, and that the game was maintained in Hungary during the period 1905 to 1920 when most of the rest of the World forgot about it, Graham wondered whether the antique shops of Surprise for Graham in Hungary the city would provide anything to augment his collection. Zilch! Nothing! However, Hungary did present one antique(!) from the world of table tennis. Having returned at 7pm from an all-day tour Graham and Nita decided to have a pre-dinner drink at a boat-pub, perched on the Danube, that they had been eyeing up all weekend. Directed to a table by a waiter, imagine their surprise when from the very next table came the salutation “Hello Graham!” It was none other than former England international Nigel Eckersley and his wife Carole, themselves taking a short break in Budapest after completing in the European Veterans’ Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia.
