Club re-opens Monday

The Club will re-open from 5pm next Monday 8 August. It is closed during that day to allow some snagging work to take place. The new electric court heaters are in place and look much better than the old gas heater.

Some points for members attention:

The scaffold is remaining in place until it rains to allow access to the roof to deal with any leaks. Please take care when entering and leaving the Club. In particular the balcony door does not fully open due to the scaffold so please open and close slowly!

An unexpected consequence of the new roof installation was the need to remove the water tanks from the loft space. Now all cold water facilities-taps/showers/WCs-are fed direct from the mains supply. However this work was unplanned and we are still in the process of replacing the hot water supply. This will not be completed until sometime after next Monday so in the interim there is no hot water.

The new court heaters have different controls to the old heaters. We will post instructions on use by the court doors and will also send members an e-mail. Given the current weather it is not anticipated they will be needed in the short term!

The areas above the court walls look great and we will be arranging for the court walls and floors to be cleaned up in the autumn by a specialist squash court maintenance contractor.

Congratulations to Alex Booth who won the 2025 Handicap Tournament, and to Abhishek Jaywant for making it through to the finals. Alex was the second seed in the tournament and Abhishek the top seed with Alex having a -17 and Abhishek -18, so the games started at -1 to 0. Alex won a close first game 11/9 but Abhishek fought to win the second game 11/4. Alex went on to win the next two games and win the match by three games to one. Well done to Alex and Abhishek and to the fifty players that entered the tournament. A big thanks also to Alex for organising this tournament which was held for the first time since pre-covid times in 2019.
