Ryedale Table Tennis League

Presentation evening and dinner

The 2009 Presentation Dinner

This season's RTTL Dinner and Presentation Evening took place on Saturday 23rd May 2009 at the Forest & Vale Hotel, Pickering. Musical entertainment was provided by Dec Huggate and a fine time was had by all present. A full list of award winners can be found below.

Thanks to Andrew Chappell for these photos:

Div 1 winners Amotherby A frame a tidy view of Pickering's roundabout. That wad of cash that Tom Needham is holding should not be viewed with suspicion...

This was the only civilized table on the night

Geoff Cawthorn was so thrilled to receive his tankard that he slept through the presentation
