June 2010 A few matters arising from our last Squash Committee
meeting:
(1) After much discussion, it was reluctantly accepted that there would
have to be a small increase in membership subscriptions next year. These
subs have been held for 5 years, but with central costs rising and
membership levels marginally down the new fees will be:
Full: £170 (last year £160),
Midweek/Senior/Young: £85 (last year £80),
Junior/Country: £33 (last year £30),
Social: £20 (last year £20).
The same early payment discounts will be offered, being £10 for full
members and £5 for all other categories.
(2) Following a court inspection, it has been agreed that work will be
undertaken in August to courts 1 and 4. Court 1 will simply have a wall
clean and floor sand, but court 4 will also have a complete plaster
overcoat to repair the settling crack on the left hand wall and
generally tidy up the front wall.
(3) You will have seen that there is an EGM on 1st July where all club
members are being asked to vote on the proposal to create two mini
Tennis courts behind courts 10 and 11. I have been assured that the
cost, of around £16,000, will be borne out of Tennis section funds and
should not therefore impact on our squash section finances. Under the
constitution a 90% vote in favour is required before the project can go
ahead, so if you have any reservations do come to the meeting to hear
the presentation and share your views before voting.
(4) Finally, the main Club Tournament drew more entries than ever and
culminated in a new Club Champion. Congratulations to Mo Khalid, who
gave us a master class in squash guile and also to Sam Mueller, who
retained her Lady's title without dropping a game. The doubles event
saw our current champions Paul Bolden and Neil Hinds toppled by the new
(ex Gerrards Cross) pairing of Stewart Hefferman and Jeremy Baker.
Regards
Rob Ballingall
Chairman
