Oceania Cup: 20 - 22 July, Adelaide, Australia. Watch on itTV
The following country/territories/islands from Oceania will be converging in Adelaide over the next few days to battle it out for Table Tennis supremacy of the region:
Australia
Cook Islands
Fiji
New Caledonia
New Zealand
Tahiti
Vanuatu
(I think some Australians are relieved that Samoa didn't make the list after what happened in the Rugby *grimace*.)
Some of the games can be viewed at the ITTF tv website: http://www.ittf.com/itTV/, with Fox providing highlights in August.
If you know media in any of these countries then hound them for results and coverage of the games.
More information can be found at the Oceania Cup website.

Tipping point for Pong?
So, I'm going to make a prediction here. Sometime between now and the Olympic games in 2012, Table Tennis is going to take off popularity-wise.
I know there have been rumblings since Spin spun into action a few years ago in New York and even before that with Naked Ping Pong, but there is going to be some major Pong action exploding onto the scene.
Some other people will have seen it rising, some will feel like Table Tennis has come out of nowhere. But one thing I think will happen is that there will be a tipping point and it will happen between now and this time next year.
Now, I'm writing this from an Australian perspective, where the sport is immensely popular but almost entirely invisible in the media. Things are changing here, people are noticing the sport and the Oceania Cup will hopefully take things up a notch.
Let's see if the media and the Table Tennis administrative bodies can get their act together and inform the Aussie population of what takes place at the Oceania cup. This will get people primed and ready to watch and understand Table Tennis next year at the 2012 London Olympics 29 Aug-9 Sept 2012. Yes, you read correct. These are the proper games. You will also be able to see the support act from 27 July-12 Aug 2012.
So, if my prediction doesn't come true then I'll have a grumble to myself, and if it does, then we'll all be better off.

A couple of things...
So Guinness are shuffling the paper work and we hope they will soon award Nick with the Guinness World Record for bouncing a ball on his bat for a loooong time. See the article from the Inner West Courier here. Sydney City Ping Pong Club gets a mention. Sweet.
We finally got the Table Tennis Nation bats to Nick. They are truly a work of art. Check out Table Tennis Nation: one of the coolest Pong companies in the world, started by Table Tennis legend Marty Reisman. If you don't know who Marty Reisman is, then I would suggest you google him. He is very googlable.
Till soon
