Dunlop Table Tennis Masters 2009 is being held at the Royal Albert Hall on 7 May 2009. The line-up are Europe’s most in-form players: Vladimir Samsonov, three times European champion from Belarus; Chen Weixing, the spectacular defensive specialist from Austria; legendary Swedish player Jorgen Persson; the former world and European champion, Jean Michel Saive; Darius Knight and Paul Drinkhall, two rising stars of English table tennis.

In addition to the main events, some of the young people who attend the various Greenhouse programmes around London will be showing their stuff in an exciting line up of dance, football skills and a record breaking show of table tennis.

All profits from the event will be donated to the table tennis programmes run by the charity Greenhouse Sport & Performing Arts and will support Greenhouse’s efforts of engaging young people from across London, particularly in deprived communities.

Greenhouse, is a London-based charity that transforms young lives in deprived communities through sport and performing arts.

The price of tickets starts from £5 for children and £10 for adults. Tickets for the Dunlop Masters are still available, visit www.royalalberthall.com for more details.

I couldn't believe this headline when I was surfing the net earlier. Apparently you can get extra performance depending on what glue you use to fix the rubber to the bat and now certain types of glue will be banned - hilarious!
