Okehampton Squash & Racketball Club
Mill Road (Okehampton College Grounds) • Okehampton • EX20 1PW
Hi all members - just a quick update on a few things that have been going on at the club over the past couple of months:
The new box leagues are just about to commence so we encourage you all to play your box league matches - it's a good way of playing different members. If we could try to have all games finished by 31st August that would be great.
Congrats to Chris Johnson, Paul Cross, Barry Vinnicombe and Owen Wood for winning the previous box leagues.
We're also going to hold an open handicap competition (starting scores will reflect respective squash levels) at some point in July. We would encourage members to sign up for a fun evening - again, with opportunity to play someone new. At least a couple of matches guaranteed. Look out for WhatsApp message and poster at the club where you can sign up.
In terms of the squash team, it finished the season strongly in Div 4 of Devon & Exeter squash league. The team is looking a little stronger than in previous years - but always welcome new players to be available in the pool. Recently we also enjoyed a friendly match against Tavistock - competing for the West Devon Trophy. We came out the wrong side but a fun evening was had.
In terms of the wider club. Club nights still continue on a Weds night and also the group coaching with Steve Mooney on most weeks - normally on a Mon or Tues.
We've also been successful in a funding application to improve a few things at the club - including making the upstairs smarter, (nearly) new pieces of gym equipment, potentially a new court lighting system etc. there may be some disruption over the summer as we make some improvements.
We're also investigating with the College whether we can establish a side entrance to the club which would allow members to access the club during College hours - which is frustrating to us all.
Therefore, a few things happening.
We're still keen to boost membership numbers and also for existing members to use the courts more. If you have any ideas then do just give Yan or Shane a shout - always open to ideas!!
