16/10/14 - PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:-
1 - Due to the reduced number of fixtures over the past few seasons, the 5-up rule was altered to become the 4-up rule. In view of this season's revised league format, with 20 fixtures being played by each team, the League Committee has decided to revert back to the 5-up rule, so please note that rules 8b(iv), 8j and 9e are affected and should be read as 5-up wherever 4-up is mentioned.
2 - In addition, the committee has had to clarify the rule relating to defaulted fixtures (handbook page 17) as each team now plays opponents four times in the season. The formula for calculating the number of points to the non-defaulting team remains unchanged, but the calculation will be made at the end of whichever half of the season the default occurred in.
3 - The part of Rule 14 relating to clothing requires clarification following a change in the ITTF rules. Please note that whilst "dark" clothing is desirable, league players MUST NOT wear shirts or shorts that contain the colour white, either in the basic shirt design or in a logo on the clothing.
4 - In line with other local leagues and official ETTA events, it has been decided that the new plastic balls will not be used for Ilford matches, league or cup, this season. (Usage of the new style balls from season 2015-16 will be mandatory)

Ilford players have three options:-
1) Complete their ETTA Individual Membership Forms and return them via their Club Secretaries when registering for the Ilford League prior to the start of the season. The Club Secretaries will need to include the forms and the relevant amount for each membership (under 18 = £2.82, 18+ = £5.64) with their League Fees. (The Fees and Forms will be forwarded to the ETTA by the League).
(Enough copies of the form have been sent to all Ilford Club Secretaries - more copies can be printed from the ETTA website or on the following link: ETTA Membership Form 2010/11 PDF ).
2) Players who play in more than one league may register via another league by following the above procedure. This must be made clear by Club Secretaries on their Club Ranking Lists, detailing the League with which they have registered, in order that this can be verified with the ETTA.
3) Players may register directly with the ETTA. Again this must be made clear on the Club Ranking List, including the ETTA Membership Number as supplied by the ETTA.
It is an ETTA stipulation that any players appearing on a club ranking list who have not submitted a Membership Form, or who have not been registered via another league or directly with the ETTA cannot be accepted for league registration.
Any queries regarding this notice should be sent to John Spero using his sky email address - if you don't know that, then email Andrew Home (as per last seasons handbook) and I'll forward it to John.

01/10/09 - Message from Ray Brown (Publicity Officer):-
To all Ilford league players
The new season has begun and I'm looking for any story that I can use to publicise table tennis. So, if your team has been involved in an interesting match, an unexpected result, a brilliant recovery by a team or by an individual player or simply an incident that you think would be of interest, then tell me about it and I'll include it in an article in the local paper.
Just give me the facts and I'll produce a report. Ideally, I'd like something each week, rotating between divisions but if I only get info from one division then so be it.
Remember, I cannot do this alone. I need your help with the source information. You don't need to be a club secretary or team captain, anyone can provide the information.
I look forward to receiving your news.
29/09/09 - The New Season is here....Division 1 & Division 2 pages all up to date. Division 3 should be done by the end of the week...
