It is with great sadness that the death is announced of Kjell Johansson
He passed away on Monday 24th October 2011 in Eksjö, Sweden after a period of illness; he was 65 years old.
The word legend, the description of being one of the greats is often misused; in the case of Kjell Gunnar Johansson it is correct.
Nicknamed the “Hammer” owing the way he held the racket to unleash one of the most powerful forehands in the history of table tennis, he was one of the all-time greats of table tennis.

Board Meeting, 2010

This meeting is open to all members of the SDTTA.
Call to order by Ron at 7:10 pm.

SDTTA Board Member Absent: Bill Chang, Jock and Shelley (took minutes by cell phone)
SDTTA Board Member minutes were not presented and will need to be passed at the November Board Meeting.
Communications not on the agenda have a limit of 3 minutes.
Due to lack of board members present a less formal board meeting to cover current issues was held.
Current Items:
- Equipment report: Borko stated that an interested party wants to purchase 5 tables. The club does not want to leave the club with less than 25 tables. It was decided by the board to sell the 2 unassembled tables for $600 and order from Butterfly at a good price 4 – 6 tables. Then when these tables come in sell the interested party 3 used tables at $500 per table.
- Treasurer’s Report: Will be sent to board members by email.
- The November team tournament was cancelled due to lack of response stated by Mustafa. The $4000 paid to the City Treasurer will be used as a credit for future tournaments. Ron will speak with Michelle (BPAC’s director) to clarify what part is city and what part is BPAC money to credit our SDTTA.
- 2012 Board Nominations: November 27, 2012 is the deadline for SDTTA members desire to enter the election for board member.
- SDTTA Picnic: Ron will go to Costco to purchase necessary paper good, plastic ware, ice and sodas. Shelley will bring ice and bottled water.
- Future SDTTA tournaments: It was suggested to Ron by Bill that our future tournaments should be held on the weekend preceding holiday on a Monday. The next holiday is President’s Day in February. It was suggested that the board members discuss this possibility of sponsoring a tournament at the picnic.
The motion was made to adjourn by Mark and seconded by Borko…
The next meeting is November 8, 2011.
Respectfully Submitted,
Shelley Hardy, SDTTA Secretary
