We have a function on this Friday 8th March 6pm onwards - the Argosy Open corporate tennis. Please be considerate and helpful during this event.
The vandalised wall on the squash grandstand has been fixed and painted.
We're still awaiting dates for the clubroom flooring replacement.
We love that you want to share our Club with your friends. If they are not a member of the Club, they are welcome but please put $20 cash in the drop box next to the Pro Shop with your name on it if there is no one in the bar or in the office. Perhaps even entice them to join to avoid further visitor fee charges.
Please ensure:
1. That you are the only person using your Access Card.
2. That the Club is locked up and secure before you leave, day or night.
3. That if you open the doors onto the deck or in the gym, that you close them.
This is for your safety and the safety of everyone.
We currently need members to volunteer on the bar. We are looking for people who can commit to a date that you could do every month. Currently we need bar staff on 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th. 19th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 27th of the month. Can one of these days be you? Or could you and a buddy commit to a couple of days so you have flexibility to swap?
Next training day with our Duty Manager, Leanne Roberts is this Friday, 8th March at 4pm.
All members whose membership expires in March will have just recently received an email from Pia. If you believe your membership is due in March and have not received an email, please contact the office. We are keen to have you all back this year.
No excuses not to join us for some social and friendly match play on Thursday night from 6.30pm or on Sunday afternoon from 1 to 3pm. New members welcome.
Senior Autumn Interclub starts on 11-12 March. Squash Auckland has sent info to team captains but players need to make sure you are aware of your responsibility to field a team each week and turn up on time.
The draws for Masters Autumn Interclub are now available to view in iSquash. The 10-week competition will start on 13 March and end on the 22 May, with no matches on 24 April due to both Easter Monday and ANZAC Day falling this week so we expect plenty of players to be unavailable.
This is a great starting point for both new and experienced players to ensure you can be confident of the rules.
All players competing in competitive play such as interclub and tournaments are expected to have completed and passed the exam.
The exam consists of 50 multi-choice questions and can be fully completed online through the Squash NZ website. The Club Referee qualification is valid for two years from the time of completion. Both players and non-players are able to complete the exam.
