Aha, that"s a very good point! I"ll ask (I expect there"s a further cost involved too - will ask if they can chuck all that in for free).

I can probably bring a couple of decent "spare" bats, and probably have four balls kicking about too. Won"t have 8 bats though.
Matt D:
I"ve got 2 bats + 5 balls.
So, that"s 4 bats + 9 balls so far.
Any more for any more?
Also, can I have 2 more volunteers for Umpiring duties please? (I"ve already got 2, but need one per group - they won"t be in the random draw).

If I Don't get in the 16, I will still come and umpire. Trouble is I don't know the rules; the last time I played it was first to 21, each having 5 serves

We"ve had a drop-out, so you"re in :)
Rules are simple:
2 serves each, first to 11. If you get to 10-10 then it"s just 1 serve each.
Toss a coin to see who serves first. The loser of the first game serves 1st in the second match.
Here"s some basic rules: http://www.pongworld.com/more/rules.php .
Just read the "What you need to know to play a fun game of ping-pong"
To simplify things a bit: For this game any serve will be considered "legal" as long as it bounces first on the servers side, then on the opponents side. We won"t bother with the "6 inches" rule (this can make it really difficult for beginners). Note, you don"t need to serve to a certain side of the table (e.g. right/left), just getting it over the net is fine (as long as it bounces before the net before going over).
