MORE TO LOOK FORWARD TO
We are all looking ahead to June 21st when social distancing guidelines allow for full squash, socials and competitions.
Here are a few of the things that we already have planned:
SUMMER LEAGUE - We are planning to run the biggest ever summer league event this year where we hope all of our members will join us for this fun and light-hearted social event. This years event will involve more games, laughs, drinks and prizes.
ONLINE LADDERS - FREE 30 MINUTE LESSON FOR HIGHEST CLIMBERS
During lockdown I have set up some online ladders to add to the playing opportunities for members. These ladders run separately from the leagues and allow members to play extra games against different members to move up the Abbeydale ladder. This adds an extra competitive element to friendly matches or helps members to find more opponents. More information will be provided once we are allowed to start internal club competition again (expected 17th May).
MONTHLY KNOCKOUT COMPETITIONS - FREE RACKET FOR WINNERS EACH MONTH
Along with the online ladders, I have been working on introducing some monthly knockout competitions to our website which will allow members to regularly compete in a fun and informal competition. Members will be able to arrange their matches themselves and see their progress on the competitions section of our website. More information coming soon. Expected start date is 17th May.
I look forward to seeing you all from the 12th April. Thanks. Mark
