Pat Dorgan won 2 Bronze medals at the Special Olympic world games 2007 in Shanghai, China.
To come back with 2 medals, from the "home" of table tennis, is a marvelous achievement.
Pat won the first in Men's Doubles and the 2nd for Men's singles. More later....................

Pat Dorgan off to World Games 2007 in China

Congratulations to Pat Dorgan on his selection for the World games in China, 2007. We wish him the best of luck. Pat was selected on foot of winning gold recently at the national games. It is a great honour for the club to have a player selected for the World Games for the second games in a row. His pal Teddy O'Connor returned from the 2003 games with 2 Bronze.

Well done Pat

Special Olympics event on Saturday December 3rd 2005

Hi all.
Terence McSweeney from Cope Foundation has been on to us looking for volunteers for The Special Olympics event on Saturday December 3rd. Please try to give up some of your free time for this very important event - even an hour or two would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who has volunteered in the past has enjoyed the day. If you wish to help out and have not already filled in a special olympic volunteer form then please contact Terence McSweeney on mcsweeney@cope-foundation.ie for a form. To those of you that have already filled in a form please let me know if you are available for any of the jobs below.

Club secretaries / coaches - perhaps you could ask your players if they could spare some time to help out and let me know as soon as you can.

Thanks. Best regards,

Alice-Anne
Munster Secretary



Hi All,
Help really needed for Friday December 2nd at 2.30pm to load up tables etc at Cope, Montenotte, unload and set up halls in Cope Glasheen from 4.00pm onwards - usually takes a few hours.
Saturday Dec 3rd, We usually need 3 for top table from 9.15am, 10 umpires between 9.30 and lunch time, about 6 umpires after lunch to umpire doubles. From 4.00pm or so, as many as possible to assist with return of tables, surrounds etc to Montenotte and the clean up of the venue.
The level of enthusiasm by the volunteers is probably the most important factor in determining the success of this event and to date they have always been wonderful. They have always been overworked and still engaged without complaint. I'm sure, if even an additional 3 or 4 volunteers can be recruited, it would greatly reduce the pressure on the day.

Thanks again for all the help

Regards

Terence

 

Please Contact Terence or Myself indicating the time that you will be available for.

Munster Special Olympics 21st May 2005

Volunteers are required for morning and evening sessions on May 21st for umpiring, top table etc.

A volunteer form needs to be filled out and forms are available from Terence McSweeney 021 4507131.

Volunteers must be aged 16 or over.

Munster and Cork Table Tennis has built up a strong relationship with Munster Special Olympics over the past 5 years and volunteers from mainstream Table Tennis have supported this very important Special Olympic event in the past number of years. It is a means of some form of payback for the use of facilities kindly given to us by Special Olympics and Cope Foundation.

A very rewarding day is assured.

Please pass on to a friend
Please let Terence know if you are able to attend and at what times, so that he can complete a Plan for the day.

Regards
Ml
