On the 29th May Mossford TTC met to celebrate their 75th anniversary! Former Chairman Dave Humble writes as follows:-

“We had well over 200 attendees at our venue and, as an aside, raised well over £400 for a local child hospice charity. The day was an outstanding advert for table tennis both for devotees and newcomers. The Mossford committee has put on a wonderful show. Emotionally I am just about recovering today.

I was asked to put together a brief history of the club and this was available on the day and is also available on request by either hard copy or email attachment from the club. Josh Dye held court on the TT side with Sam Walker being the star attraction. Tony Cantale handled the presentation and some publicity, but as usual attempted to keep in the background – no chance. Our reasonably recent Chairman John Bath is a wonderful acquisition and is backed by a very strong team.

All in all, a fabulous day for a fabulous club.”

I’m sure everyone in the Essex table tennis community will wish to congratulate Mossford on their achievements over the first 75 years and hope for their continued success in the future.
