BECK TO THE FUTURE FOR SAM

Having successfully completed the recent Adult Coaching Course, Sam Duce has decided to hang up her table tennis bat for a while - to get married! And it must have been a love match, as new husband Paul pursued Sam halfway across Essex, to persuade her that he was just the man for her.

Sam only resumed her table tennis career a year ago when she moved to Chelmsford, joining the Baddow Club in the summer. And had already made quite an impact in Division 6 of the Chelmsford League where she joined forces with David Gatheral and team captain Diane Pitt, to make a formidable - if not always successful - trio.

The happy event took place at the Colchester Register office on Tuesday 30 July, and the happy couple will be going to live in Walton on the Naze. Sadly this means we will loose Sam's services to the Club for the next season. She will be missed.

However, we wish Sam and Paul all the very best for the future. And Paul, just because she has become Mrs Beck don't imagine that Sam is going to be subject to your slightest whim! Sometimes the nets and edges go one way, and sometimes the other, it can be a close call but do start off as you mean to go on, at love all!   

 

Doesn't she look lovely! Sam in her lilac wedding dress. She would have a job playing table tennis in that get up!

Such sweet innocence! But Paul, don't be fooled, women have an amazing capacity to use the most subtle guises to their advantage!	Congratulations Sam & Paul! We wish you the very best for the future.
