Squash & Squash57 Newsletter - October 2019 | |
October 9th, 2019 | |
Here’s this month’s Newsletter. For more regular, bite-sized information, you can follow us on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/BerkoSquashRbll | |
For anyone who uses Twitter, do please follow us - since we went live on 1st September, we post a tweet most days and we’re striving to make them all relevant and interesting!
Tring mega derby
By the way, Tring still have a few tickets available for next week, but they are going quickly. It is an excellent draw, headed by Daryl Selby, England number 1 and world number 17. Details are on our club noticeboard, or can be found on the Tring club website. Tickets vary from £10 to £15, depending on which evening you attend and, for that, you get about 4 hours of top level squash. But don’t go on Thursday. On Thursday, you need to be at our club watching our 1st team.
Herts County Champs
Indeed, by next week, our 1st team captain, Ali Coker, is likely to be the Herts over-35 champion. No pressure, Ali.
This weekend is the annual Herts County Champs. Two of Adam’s pro squad academy players, Adrian Waller (world number 24, and fresh back from America after reaching the last 16 at this week’s US Open) and Rui Soares, Portugal number 1, are likely to be contesting the men’s final. Ali has entered the O35s, Brendan Murphy the 045s and John Shaw the O55s. John is unlikely to be contesting anything other than the 1st round. Good luck to them all!
Sky Sports is here
If all the above is too much excitement for you, why don’t you sit down and take the weight of your legs for a while. But do it in our club bar. Watching Sky Sports. Fabulous news that we’ve brought it back after much feedback from members. Well done to Matt Markwort and his social committee. Imagine, on a Thursday evening, you’ll be able to watch top football on Sky or, if Spurs are playing, watch top squash featuring our 1st team on courts 1 and 2, while wearing your new club shirt. Happy days.
Racketball/Squash57
A special shout-out this month to Mark Tanzer, who is doing brilliant work in revitalising the Squash57 boxes. In particular, it is lovely to see a number of our women members joining the racketball boxes. Racketball presents a tremendous opportunity for beginners of all ages and ability to find out how much fun it is to charge around a squash court for 45 minutes. Keep it going Matt, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Building on Women’s Squash Week
Which brings us to our final point. We recently held a couple of sessions as part of the nationwide Women’s Squash Week. We would like to build on these. Ladies, what would you like from your squash and squash57 club? How can we help you? What would encourage and help (a) more of you (b) to start playing (c) to play more often?
That question is open to all our lady members and all wives and girlfriends of our bloke members. Please let us know what you think. Speak to, or email, either Adam, Grace or John:
