GRAMMAR SCHOOL

team and have been ioined on occasions by schoolboy Jim Sheehan. This
promising youngster has been undefeated in Division Two by all but fellow
Old Grammarian Bill Drage and is one of the most improved players in
the League.
Next season we are likely to have two teams in Division One, and
faced with the possibility of losing some players, as people move away
from the district, we shall have vacancies for experienced players. We
are also anxious to promote additional sides and players for these need
not be experienced. Anyone interested in joining the Club should get in
touch with the writer. This invitation is open to schoolboys, who should
be aware that good players must start when they are very young indeed.
To promote Table Tennis in the Association we hope soon to have a
table available for practice in the Headquarters. The top room, whilst not
quite large enough for good League play, should provide many happy
hours for both those who wish to play for fun and for those with more
serious intent.
