On Saturday 29th April Sophie, representing Dorset, played in the Under 11 event of the England Schools Individuals in Wolverhampton. She is eight years old and has three more years competing in this event. All the other competitors were older mostly ten or in a number of cases already eleven as the cut-off date for participants was September 2016.

Chloe Thomas has been selected to represent British Universities in the World University Championships in Taiwan at the end of August 2017. Most members will be unaware that these championships are one of the biggest events in the world, in fact second only to the Olympics and are held every two years in different countries. They embrace a large number of different sports, continue for around one week and feature over ten thousand competitors. Chloe is one of only a small number of competitors from British Universities and the sole competitor from Bournemouth University.

Interesting that Bournemouth Sports Club once again has a young player right at the top of the English rankings/ratings. This is young Sophie Barcsai currently just 7 years of age and not 8 till 2017. In a recent tournament for young players in Pymouth she won both the U9 and U10 events, which were mixed, with boys and girls competing on level terms.

Will all members please note that the club will be closed for play from 1200 noon on Friday 23rd December till 1000 on the morning of Boxing Day 26th December. This is for the usual annual varnishing of the floor in the hall.

Will members please note that on Friday 28th we shall be running a training day for some of our younger players between 1000 and 1600 and that the club will not be available for normal practice between these hours.
