Chairman's Report - our Emerald Celebration
|
|
This year is another special year for us. On the
19th December 2018, we will pass another landmark
when it is fifty-five years since our club was
formed. The history and success of our club over
those 55 years is especially evidenced by the
enormous contribution by many of our members who
have acted as catalysts for the expansion of
veterans’ squash in many ways. The history of our
club was encapsulated in the splendid book “50
Years on” in 2013. If you do not have a copy, you
can still buy one of the few remaining copies from
Nigel Belle.
Although squash is going through
challenging times, I am delighted to report that we
continue to thrive. After a dip in our membership in
recent years, it is great to report that over the last
two years we have welcomed over sixty new members.
Your Committee is dedicated to maximising the range of
activities that will encourage senior squash players
to continue playing our game into their dotage! We
also continue to celebrate the involvement of our
members, including Martin Pearse, Stuart Hardy and
Adrian Wright who formed England Masters which
continues to attract the best to extend their playing
careers.
Do come and join us at the Club
Championship finals at the Colets Club over the
weekend of April 28/29. This is the only veterans
event at which you can enjoy watching the best singles
and doubles. Later in the year, you are also invited
to come and enjoy the Festival of Squash at the RAC,
Woodcote Park, Epsom on Sunday 4th November.
Oh yes, and don’t forget to raise a
glass to our Club’s EMERALD achievement!

2018
Club Championships
|
|
Once again the GB Vets descended en mass to
Colets in Thames Ditton for the finals of the Club
Championships. As always we received a warm
welcome from what many consider to be one of the
best venues in the country for squash events.
Although the numbers of entries
this year were about normal, there were an unfortunate
quantity of injuries that reduced the actual amount of
squash that was played.

courts under one roof, and extensive sports and
leisure facilities. The whole event was extremely well
organised and we understand the World Masters
Championships will be held there in 2020.
