Lancaster University Table Tennis Club
Lancaster University Table Tennis Club, or LUTTC as it is better known is a club affiliated to the Athletic Union of Lancaster University.
History[edit]
The Logo[edit]
The recently upgraded LUTTC logo was designed by 2008/09 President, Robin Honey. The shift came about at the time of the overhaul of the website in order to both modernise it and bring it into line with the style and accessibility of other Athletic Union websites.
The current logo has obvious table tennis insignia - it's ball shaped, small and white, like the majority of table tennis balls used in matchplay worldwide. The more astute among viewers will also notice that the 'L.U.T.T.C' acronym and the 3 "*s" are, stylistically, in line with the production of table tennis balls. The 3 "*s" are akin to the 3 stars that are found on a table tennis ball, used to indicate its quality. Only balls of 3 star quality are permitted for match play. The small red logo and 'L.U.T.T.C' are placed as the brand logo and brand name would be placed on a table tennis ball. The small red logo is the (now legacy) Lancaster University logo and L.U.T.T.C stands for 'Lancaster University Table Tennis Club'.

Inter-University Competition[edit]
BUCS (Previously BUSA)[edit]
In the 2007/08 season under President Sam Barnes, Lancaster re-entered a Men's 1st team into the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) Northern 2A League and had a fairly strong first season, finishing 3rd behind Liverpool 1st's and Manchester 1st's. In only their 2nd season back, under President Robin Honey,the Men's 1st team was able to finish 1st in the Northern 2A league with an unbeaten record, gaining automatic promotion into the Northern 1A league for the next season. This was a big step forward for the club as it gives them a change to compete with the some of the top Northern teams in the 2009/10 season.

BUCS Individual Tournament[edit]
Previously held at Warwick University and now yearly, at Nottingham University the BUCS Individual Table Tennis Championships takes place with events in Men's and Women's, Singles and Doubles categories. This event is always of a high standard and is always much looked forward to in the club's calendar.
Recent successes include Xiao Collins winning Bronze in the Plate competition in 2014 and Agnes Kwok winning Gold in the Women's Plate competition in 2015
As an idea of the standard of the event, in 2008 players from London Metropolitan University, after winning the BUCS Team and the majority of individual events, also went on to win the European Universities Table Tennis Championship in that same year. Recent winners include Chris Doran (England no.5) and Danny Reed (England no.4).
Roses[edit]
Each year, Lancaster University and the University of York compete in the annual Roses Tournament named after the 15th Century civil war, The Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The tournament is held at alternate venues each year, either Lancaster, or York, and consists of a large variety of sports. The 2008 event featured 105 events in 39 different Sports with 246 points up for grabs. Whilst York won the event 124-122, the Table Tennis was won by Lancaster 4-2.

Intra-University Competition[edit]
College League[edit]
As of the 2013/14 academic year, LUTTC hosts an annual intra-university college league, where each of the 8 colleges that make up Lancaster University assemble a team made up of students from that college and compete throughout the year in a league format on a home-and-away basis (each college's bar serves as its home venue). The league is intended for beginner-intermediate players, who are not yet experienced enough to play for the University team, though the College League is considered a 'feeder' to the University teams, with players being actively encouraged to improve and make the step up.
