Congratulations to the winningteam, Mercedes, consisting of Ben Kahler, GrahameKnight, Michael Callaghan and Katie King.We were also able to conduct our graded championshipswhich resulted in some great games. Congratulationsto all the winners.As a result of COVID restrictions, we were notable to have our annual banquet and presentationnight as usual. Instead, we held our trophy presentationon the last night of play, with a doublestournament, with proceeds donated to Blue Care.A total of $200 was raised and will be donated toBlue Care Crows Nest. The winner of the tournamentwas Rob Fisher.Our trophy presentation concluded the night,which was a highlight as there were two new perpetualtrophy/shields presented. The first was theJoy Bretz Trophy for the Ladies Champion and thesecond named the Bretz Family Shield in honor ofVera, Jean and Joy Bretz for their dedicated andcommitted service to the Crows Nest Table TennisClub over many years.This shield was for the Most Improved Playerfor the year, and the trophy has been donated bythe Bretz family in the past, so was fitting to havetheir name on the shield. This year the most improvedplayer was Michael Callaghan and it wasgreat to have Joy Bretz present to make the presentation.We had a few new players this year which wasgreat to see and I encourage them to continueand improve their skills when the new year startsagain in February. We had two young ladies receiveencouragement awards for trying their bestand I could see some real improvement as the yearwent on.
