On Sunday 5 January, the annual Olieboltoernooi took place in Table Tennis Centre Stiphouse. This was combined with the New Year's reception.
Nearly 40 participants, ranging from 7 to 77 years old, participated in perhaps the most enjoyable table tennis event our club knows. Under the expert guidance of Jasper and Joris, a huge number of matches were played (an average of 6 per person). In between matches, Michiel provided incredibly tasty oliebollen and Walter provided the drinks.
Erwin toasted the new year and asked all members to be open to others than their own circle. Have a chat with someone, play table tennis against someone outside your own group, then it will all be even more fun! Edwin paid tribute to the 3 championship teams of the last competition, namely TLE 1, Men 4 and Youth 1. Samuel received the TTV Stiphout bidon for 5 years of membership. Henrie was honored for his 25 years of membership with a speech by Erwin, in which mainly highlights from Henrie's TTV career were highlighted. Jeroen was also thanked for his years of dedication as a youth trainer, which he stopped at the end of last year.
Finally, the Oliebol of the year was announced. Not Peter, who had won the tournament, but Jeroen was given that honor. He can call them 'biggest Oliebol' of TTV Stiphout for a year.
