WELCOME
Welcome to the website of the Bristol Civil Service TTC. We are part of the Civil Service Sports Club (CSSC), one of the largest sports organisations in the UK.
Our venue can fit 4 tables comfortably for matches and up to 6 for practice.
Current Club member numbers – 50 (3 Honorary members – Ken Simmons, Neville Stocker Snr and Aubrey Simons).
For the 2011–12 season, we have 9 teams in the BDTTA local League.
We have also entered a team for the first time in the national Senior British League.
We are located on the Filton/Horfield border, very close to the Bristol Rovers football ground in North Bristol.
Formal adult coaching is held every Friday 1930 to 2130hrs with Senior Coach, Dan Kolesnik. Open practice is on Sundays 1930 to 2200hrs.
Club/CSSC members can book the hall for table tennis during the daily opening hours of the premises or on any non-match evening at £4.00 per hour.
Although we are close to the heart of Bristol, we have good free parking.

Final of the Gilbert Belsten cup Thursday 26 April 2012
Congratulations to the Civil Service team for reaching the final of this prestigious competition. Garth Kinlocke, Dan Kolesnik and Chris Price (Chris Hansell was injured—best wishes to him) took on the Filton team of Dean Cundy, Je Kwon Choi and Young Min Kim. Garth played magnificently and kept a cool head, winning against Dean and Je Kwon in tense and exciting matches of four and five games respectively, but sadly the Filton players proved too strong for Dan and Chris on the night. Dan seemed to be having a bit of an off night, and although he nearly clawed his way back in the third game against Je Kwon, ended on 9-11. Chris produced some spectacular shots but succumbed to the greater consistency of his opponents. His good humour and funny remarks lightened the tense atmosphere at the end! The final result was Filton 5–Civil Service 2.
The individual results were:
1) Garth v Dean 11–7, 8–11, 11–4, 11–8
2) Dan v Je Kwon 3–11, 6–11, 9–11
3) Chris v Young Min 8–11, 3–11, 6–11
4) Garth v Je Kwon 8–11, 11–5, 11–4, 8–11, 11–8
5) Chris v Dean 8–11, 3–11, 4–11
6) Dan v Young Min 8–11, 8–11, 3–11
7) Chris v Je Kwon 5–11, 7–11, 7–11
