06/02/10  :  Time of Play - Rule 26

Players are reminded that where a club or team play their home matches in a school,  matches are scheduled to start at 19:00, and that the premises must be vacated by 22:00. This means that home team should ensure that everything is in place for a 19:00 start, and that the away team has at least one player there for a prompt start. The reality is, even if teams arrive at 19:10, by the time they have 'knocked up', it's very unlikely that the match will start before 19:20. As venues for playing table tennis are becoming more scarce, we don't want to get on the wrong side of the schools that are currently allowing us to use their premises.  Listed below are the clubs / teams playing at a school venue :

Littleover ( all teams )
Spondon  ( all teams )
