English National Championships 28-30 March 2008

Once again this year, the English National Championships of 2007/08 will be held at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in the vibrant city of Sheffield. The English National Championships is the most sought after and prestigious event in the English domestic calendar. Each year over 260 English competitors, from counties far and wide, battle it out in order to become English National champion in any of the 11 categories the tournament has to offer.

International competition is a common occurrence at Ponds Forge's International Sports Centre. Both aquatic and dry sporting events are held at the centre and Ponds Forge has sufficient resources to provide a professional service for competitors and spectators alike.

International volleyball, badminton and basketball competitions are regular events in the Sports Hall as well as our own national championships. The area has housed numerous World Title boxing matches and even the World Indoor Bowls Tournaments.

The world knows Sheffield for its historical heritage in the steel, cutlery, engineering and tool making industries. In the last decade, however, Sheffield has undergone a dramatic transformation, becoming a great place to visit and attracting over four million tourists every year. Now a lively cosmopolitan city, Sheffield is the perfect venue to mix a weekend of table tennis and leisure.

There are 11 Catagories:

Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Veteran Men’s Singles, Veteran Women’s Singles, U21 Men’s Singles, U21 Women’s Singles, Men’s doubles, Women’s Doubles, Veteran Men’s Doubles, Veteran Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles

Ha, agreed on all of them.

We'll be there on Saturday, but on Sunday (assuming Sarah doesn't get through to the Sunday, of course :whistle2:) we'll be at Wembley watching Milton Keynes Dons play their final in the St Johnstone's Paintpot P**spot Trophy final.

Rushton is a good player but not as good as drinkall & knight so will only win this if they both play badly

Bellafonte can stuff both Abdul & Venner on his day providing his knee's,back,arms,wrists and head can carry him!!!! if they get more than 2 nets or edges he will crack!!!!!!! Keep calm Fonte!!!!!
