By Secretary PC Paul Hope

The regionals in 2005 have been hosted again by Lancashire although Cheshire have kindly offered to host the event next year. The entry from Lancashire was bigger than in recent years as a result of new events - super vets for men over 45 and ladies over 40, and also new recruits like Ashley Gibson from Preston who is no doubt a champion of the future.

This years regional champions are :

Men's singles - Paul Hope

Men's doubles - Paul Hope & Keith Ashton

Mixed Doubles - Maxine Watson & Paul Hope

Vets men's doubles - Keith Ashton & Peter Wright

Vets Mixed doubles - Keith Ashton & Maxine Watson

Super Vets Men's Doubles - Dave Sherrington & Eric Lange

Super Vets Mixed Doubles - Ian Mather & Cath Thundercloud

All the above qualified to represent the North West region in the PSUK finals in Edinburgh from 22 April - 25 April 2005.

In the national championships Lancashire officers played well with the following results:-

Paul Hope and Keith Ashton were runners up in the National finals.

Keith Ashton and Peter Wright won the national veteran mens doubles

Dave Sherrington and Eric Lange played well but lost in the opening rounds

Paul Hope and Maxine Watson lost in the semi final of the nationals.

Keith Aston and Maxine Watson lost in the final of the Nationals.

As a team Lancashire and the North West region did do very well in the events we entered but we are still looking for new players especially ladies.

Also of note is that again both Paul Hope and Keith Ashton were selected to represent the PSUK British team this year in both matches and also the European Championships.

The best results at the nationals were Paul Hope and Keith Ashton in the open Men's doubles where they again made it to the semi-finals , but a great achievement was in the Vets Men's doubles where Keith Ashton and Peter Wright went one better than last year and won the national title.
