North Wales Counties Table Tennis Association

The Llandudno League withdrew from membership of the North Wales Counties’ Table Tennis Association (NWCTTA) in August 2003, after a period of inactivity, during which they had failed to organise events, hold meetings or produce accounts to show what was happening to the monies paid to them as affiliation fees.

With a new Committee and a new Constitution, NWCTTA (whose other members include the East Flint League and the Wrexham League) has since gradually been moving back into a role as organiser of inter-League competition (the Shone and Radcliffe Cups, and the North Wales Closed Tournament) and as sponsor of combined teams from North Wales playing in the English Counties League (under the Clwyd banner). In recent years, NWCTTA has fielded Cadet and Veterans’ teams in that competition.

Two clubs in the Llandudno League - Y Morfa and Denbigh - have maintained membership of NWCTTA, and this has allowed their registered players to take part in NWCTTA events. The Management Committee has recently been considering whether the League as a whole should now rejoin NWCTTA, and take a more active part in its running and development.

This would provide all Llandudno players with the chance to play in events with a new range of players from other local leagues and at county level, and would also help to support any Cadet or Junior players chosen to play for Clwyd in the English Counties League. Current affiliation is £2.50 a year. Llandudno took the decision to leave NWCTTA at an AGM, and that decision could only be reversed by the general membership, either at a future AGM or at a specially-arranged Extraordinary General Meeting.

Let us have your comments, and vote in the poll (to the right of this paragraph). How do you feel about NWCTTA? Should we re-join - should we stay out?
