World Veteran Championships: History

Message from table tennis archivist, Diane Webb

On behalf of the Swaythling Club International (SCI), I have been asked to write the history of the World Veteran Championships since the first tournament in Gothenburg in 1982.

To help with this I am looking for information in the form of programmes, photographs etc and also any interesting stories, snippets, experiences or quirky facts, particularly from the earlier championships.

 

I have some programmes but not a complete set. Can you help with programmes either as a donation to the archive store or on loan? Programmes needed: Gothenburg – 1982, Rimini – 1986, Zagreb – 1988, Lucerne – 2002, Yokohama – 2004, Rio de Janeiro – 2008, Hohhot – 2010, Auckland – 2014, Las Vegas – 2018.

 

If you can help in any way, can you contact me at DianeK1414@hotmail.co.uk or if you would like a chat, phone 01424 216342
