Everything is ready for the European Veterans Championships. In these days we organized here a lot of national tournaments and the Mediterranean Table Tennis Under 15 Championships which were a sort of test event of EVC. The Italian Veterans Championships have just started and will end on Friday. We set up 110 tables for the competitions and 28 for the warm-up. We look forward to the arrival of the delegations”.
