To the sailing club! …on Monday evening for the latest in the social table tennis sessions. Our first obstacle wasn’t the game itself: we had to overcome a cow that had strayed onto the estuary path. Silly cow…

Our Monday evening the table tennis social is starting to grow. We had six players for this evening. There’s talk of two more joining us in the coming weeks, which all makes for table time a little tight.

Thankfully the weather conditions in the sailing club loft were a little fresher. Some energetic games took place. I seem to play the best shots when I’m up against it and require a degree of gymnastic dexterity to win a point.

Away from the table and sailing club politics was the topic of conversation. I was happy to sit on my hands and take it all in without offering any contribution.

We finished off with some games of doubles. At one point my partner and I were trailing 10-1. We somehow managed to turn it around with an unlikely victory. Spin it to win it, Jase.
