BCTTA LeTTers: January 1976
From the BCTTA Archives… is this 12-page, 3rd edition of the BCTTA’s Table Tennis News publication from January 1976. Eric Calveley remains reluctantly at the helm of the publication, but it appears a new editor, Leslee Ward, waits in the wings. Meanwhile, he comes out swinging in an editorial-review of the abysmally attended Winter Festival Open. Noteworthy is the tournament committee’s detailed assessment and analysis of the Richmond Open, a recent tournament based on the Swiss-style, an egalitarian tournament format. Also inside are:
