Dear [[firstname]]
It’s been another busy month and this is just a quick note to keep you informed of key news and forthcoming events.
Monthly Quiz
Following the first quiz at the start of March can I remind everyone that we are holding monthly quiz’s on the first Friday of each month. Well done to Alison and Damian for ensuring the first was a huge success and we look forward to tomorrows event. Anyone wishing to attend it is a maximum of 6 per team and I suggest you arrive in plenty of time for a 7.30pm start to guarantee a table.
Closed Singles
Congratulations to all who entered and the winners of the singles which was held last weekend, can I also thank Mark and Martin for organising this tournament. It was wonderful to see the junior section being so well attended, over 20 entrants on the day, and another big thank you to Nigel and Rae for organising this along with Del who helped on the day - this is the future of our club!
Junior Coaching
Over the last few months, and again thank you to all coaches, the club has seen the number of junior members being coached quadruple. On the back of this, Helen Rees our newly appointed Ladies Captain, is starting three further sessions including a ‘girls can’ group that is supported by England Squash
Gym and Fitness
Pacie is seeing an increase in numbers using the gym and attending all classes throughout the week and the improvements to the sound system, lighting and air conditioning have certainly helped. This month we have been able to secure the purchase of three much needed pieces of equipment in the weights room.
Cuisine
Some great news, the club has all but agreed terms to lease the Kitchen on a 3 year deal to Sarah Brown Bespoke Dinning. It is early days but what I can say is that Sarah and Richard are looking to hold cuisine nights, monthly to start with, at the club along with providing food for matches, socials and outside events. I sincerely hope members will support this venture which will start in May and we will keep you all updated.
Coors Leagues
Congratulations to Danny Bates and Luke Woods for winning the first monthly prize ballots of £25 each, please remember that to enter the leagues simply add your name on the notice board and if you play all your games then you will automatically enter the draw, play all your games and win your league then you will enter the second draw.
Chairman’s vs Presidents tournament
Friday 20th May from 6pm, this will be a mixture of squash and racketball, singles and doubles with Sarah providing the catering on the night, more details to follow shortly.
Less good news
I touched on this a few months ago and we can not put off the inevitable any longer. Due to the increased overheads we are going to see bar tariffs being increased by around 5-10% sometime in April and the cost of Lights being set at £3 later in the year. We will, as always, keep the cost to members as low as possible and with increased memberships we are able to maintain the subscriptions so it’s not all bad news!
Yours Sincerely
David Goodridge
Chairman
On behalf of the committee
