September 2010 Some points from our last Squash Committee meeting and
a couple of updates:
(1) Final reminder - Membership Renewals. Thanks to more than 250 of you
who have now renewed. To those that have not yet done so, please let us
know if you don't intend to rejoin so that we can update our records
accordingly.
(2) Court 3 lights are now working again - before the electrician
actually got to the club! The court has therefore been released for
booking again and the electrician will return next week to double check
everything while new light tubes are fitted.
(3) On Court 4, I have met 3 surveyors and am awaiting 3 quotes to renew
the glassback wall. A decision will be made in conjunction with our
insurers as to how to then proceed.
(4) Only a week after a full clean and sanding of Court 1, it was
disappointing to see considerable black markings on the floor and walls.
We don't know who was responsible for this but I would ask all members
to ensure both their own and their opponents racket/shoes are
non-marking.
(5) Members voted 2 to 1 in favour of retaining the summer experiment on
league promotion/relegation. Thus, subject to joiners/leavers, the
winner of each league will be promoted two leagues, second place one
league and the same will apply for relegation.
(6) The first club event of the season is the handicap tournament
starting 24th September with finals on Sunday 3rd October. To enter,
just e-mail Dominic
dominicthwaites@mac.com or write your name on the entry sheet on the
noticeboard.
(7) Finally, keep your diary free for our squash section AGM on Friday
October 22nd. As well as our usual informal squash section AGM, it looks
like we've got an exhibition match to savour. I asked Tom Phipps, our
county champion for the last 5 years, to find an opponent he can't beat
- and he has! More details with the formal AGM notice in due course.
Regards
Rob Ballingall
Chairman
