By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lauren_Traveau]Lauren Traveau When it comes to serving in table tennis, you should start with the basics and build off of them. Remember that the serve is the only time during a game where you have total control over the ball. By getting a quality serve in play, you can greatly increase your opportunity for securing the point so try to practice your serve as often as you can. Basic Table Tennis Serves: For beginners, position yourself at either side of the table. You want to hold your racket with an open face, with the racket itself slightly angled either in a backhand or forehand position. Drop the ball onto your racket sending the ball to bounce once on your side and then over the net towards your opponent. Experiment with different distances so you can get a good grasp on the amounts of force necessary to get your ball over the net. Also experiment with different heights of tossing the ball into the air. Once you've practiced and mas...

My name is Johnson. I am one of the TT lovers who have started to play table tennis in McC centre 2 and half years ago. I went through the 2011 & 2012 Golden Fun games at McC & the 2012 Nov. 27 th  Oak Ridges TT tournament. They are great & fun events. I believe a lot of the TT players enjoyed the games & good times. The 2013 Golden Fun games are coming up soon in May – June. It will be more fun & more compatible this year. We have held an “Umpire briefing session” with Coach Kevin Wu last year. Our players did benefit a lot from the briefing.   By popular request we will hold another umpire session (2 hours) this year before the Golden Fun games.  This time is open for all the  Richmond Hill  table tennis 55+ players. I attached a few photos of the last Umpire briefing at the end of this e-mail as a sample of the last session. It will be calling  “TT Umpire Workshop”  –  (conduct in English only) -   ...

Clara Ann Fowler  (November 8, 1927 – January 1, 2013), known by her professional name  Patti Page , was an American singer and one of the best-known female artists in  traditional pop music . She was the best-selling female artist of the 1950s, [1]  and sold over 100 million records. [2]  She was often introduced as "the Singin' Rage, Miss Patti Page". A New York disc jockey on WNEW, William B. Williams, introduced her as "A Page in my life called Patti". Page signed with  Mercury Records  in 1947, and became their first successful female artist, starting with 1948's " Confess ". In 1950, she had her first million-selling single " With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming ", and would eventually have 14 additional million-selling singles between 1950 and 1965. Page's signature song, " Tennessee Waltz ", recorded in 1950, was one of the biggest-selling singles of the 20th centur...

By Richard Chi RHTTC55 成立至今不過數年;初時設備簡陋,只供應單薄球板數塊及乒乓球若干,活動時間也不多.然而參予者均樂在其中.在這些拓荒者努力之下,會員日增;而更重要的一點,就是每人都在享受打球的樂趣,很多時因沒有計分判勝負,大家都不會感受 " 壓力" ,無意中構成了一個別樹一幟的特式. 在同一信念下,這個團體除了打球外,大家更培養出互相關懷,扶持,鼓勵,禮讓,寬容的高尚情操. 近年更得到各會員的協助,籌辦了多次成功的比賽,盛大的聖誕前 Pot Luck,定期每月一次的歡樂中午茶聚,週一的龍門陣早餐會;更間接推動成立了卡拉OK,給予會員大展歌喉的機會. 在會員人數日益壯大之下, McC 亦大力協助,添加了數張球桌,安排了更多場地及活動時間.目前會員可就自己需要,選擇到 McConaghy,Oak Ridges, Langstaff 或 Rouge Woods 大展身手,互相觀摩. 綜合以上各元素及多年來難能可貴的傳統及理念,令新來的會員無不有 "賓至如歸" 之感,也很快便融入這個大家庭裡. 有幸參加了這個團體,期望RHTTC 55 固有精神永垂不朽.

Please enjoy reading the following that has been efficiently created by our Mr. Ma, Desmond. It is a stylish piece of work. May I propose to have it posted onto our blog that can be shared by all our friends. A great salute to Desmond ! Carlo     Date: Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 1:40 PM ABOUT US - THE RICHMOND HILL TABLE TENNIS CLUB FOR THE OLDER ADULTS 55+ The  RHTTC 55 had its humble beginning. It started with a few pioneers ventured to MCC with a few table tennis balls and some rudimentary racquets looking for some fun and recreation, knowing that the programs at this Centre were catering for seniors 55 and over. Before long, there was so much fun in playing table tennis that strangers became friends and when the games were on, the room was always filled with laughter.  As the group started to take shape, we have developed a belief that apart from  recreational benefits of this game, friendship and tolerance should play a significa...

This is amazing...and at the end make sure you click on to Queen Elizabeth, that is priceless This series is a remarkable series of pictures that “morph” into a different subject very smoothly. Someone spent a lot of time to get this to happen, and even with a computer it must have been really difficult to do. When you click on the link, just let it run, and the pictures will sequence through to the end. This is done very well. I think you might like it. Thank you Riachard for sending this lovely video.
