RHTTC55 Activities

Hi Friends,

With delight, I wish to keep you posted about the club activities ahead:

1. RHTTC55  -  From now on, we will call ourselves Richmond Hill Table Tennis Club for the Older Adults 55+.  A blog on the internet named RHTTC55 has been constructed and is being refined for your use. Thanks to David Au who is the mastermind behind it. 

Richard Chi coordinating well with the office,  we have set up our own notice board at McConaghy.  It is located in our usual game room on the ground floor level.

Both the blog and the board will help strengthen our internal communication.  Members will benefit instantly by getting current news about the club.
