The club held its annual hardbat tournament on Friday evening, at the church hall. It was the first time since 2013 (when Stephen Gray beat Christopher Wheeler in the final) that we have used traditional style hardbats (short pimples with no sponge). Since 2014 we have used the World Championship of Ping Pong sandpaper bats. The change is due in part to the end of the WCPP and the start of the Classic World Cup, composed of separate Sandpaper, Hardbat, and Wood Only events.
