Would like to thank all the members that turned up for the AGM Monday night, it was good to hear your thoughts and opinions on the issues that the committee are trying to address for the good of the club going into 2024/25 and beyond,

For all MSC members please note that the same committee was re-elected to continue their good work through 2024 and into 2025

Many Working Hands Required 28th April

With the weather starting to get a bit better we are now moving onto the second phase of the clubs General Building Maintenance and Repairs on the outside of the building where we need to clean away all the Ivy and anything else that is growing over and around the building so that we can give the building a very much needed make over.

We are calling for volunteers to help clear up around the building on Sunday 28th April from 8am.

Bacon / Sausage sandwiches will be available to all volunteers all washed down with as much tea and coffee they can drink.

So if you can spare a couple of hours of your spare time on the 28th it will be greatly appreciated, just let Darren T (Hurty) know that you are available.

Box Games

We have extended the finish date to April the 30th please make sure that all games that you have played the scores are recorded on either the Mycourts app or the paper copy’s on the notice board.

Box League scoring system (updated 11-4-24)

We will be implementing a small change to the Box League scoring system next month (May boxes onwards) this is generally used at many other squash clubs around the country and is designed to encourage and reward all players that turn up and play there Box games, the change to the scoring system is that a player will get 1 point for turning up to play, and the wining player will get a extra point for winning the match.

Example

Player 1 V Player 2, ……………………………….Player 1 beats Player 2, 3-0, the score should be recorded as a 5-1 win to player 1 (1 point per game won, 1 point to the player winning the match and 1 point to both players for turning up)

Player 1 V Player 2 ………………………………..Player 1 loses to player 2 2-3, the score should be recorded as 5-3 win to player 2 (1 point per game won, 1 point to the player winning the match and 1 point to both players for turning up)

If a player fails to turn up at the time and date arranged it will be classed as a “walk over” to the player that has turned up at the club to play the match and will be rewarded the win, a 5-0 score should be recorded

2 Bonus points will be awarded to any player playing all his games.

Friday night is club night

Courts available from 5.20pm continuing until late, just turn up, Play and Socialise with other likeminded club players.

Club night squash time limit (when 6 or more players attend)

There will be a 10-minute time limited this week to each pair of players on court, straight into warming up and then playing with no limit on where the score ends up, once the 10 minutes has been reached the alarm will sound and the next 2 players can go on court to play there 10 minutes.

A £2 light fee will be charged for all players attending regardless of how many games they play

Food this week will be
