Tomorrow night 7.30pm- Friday May 29th after teamer, squash court 1 will be turned into a movie theatre.

Note: It will be a trial night before we put on a official one later on in June at an earlier time for the kids.

So if you're down at the club and want to watch a movie, bring a blanket or cushion, steal a bean bag form the lounge and come enjoy.

We are delighted to share with all our members and visitors that, thanks to the generous support of the Dragon Community Trust, we have secured funding to upgrade key areas of our club facilities.

This exciting project will include an upgrade of the men’s showers, along with refurbishment of the floors on all five of our squash courts.

A huge thank you to the Dragon Community for their continued support of our club and local sport. Your contribution helps us create better facilities for everyone to enjoy.

What a fantastic day for our 2015/26 Mixed Doubles Club Champs!
Seventeen teams battled it out in perfect weather, with plenty of laughs, rallies, and “friendly” debates over line calls 😄

Huge congratulations to our Champions Jane Carter & Mitch Langton 🏆
Runners-up were Andy Allan & Christine McKnight after a great final effort 👏

Best Dressed honours (again… honestly, is there a trophy cabinet just for outfits?) went to Simon & Mary Thompson

Consolation Winners were Alana Madgwick & Luke Strachan
With runners-up Minoo Arsiwalla & Mirra Alikperova putting up a great fight!

Thanks to everyone who played and helped make it such a fun day around the club as well as Hells Royal Oak for the great Pizzas.

Don’t forget — Men’s & Ladies Doubles entries close Friday June 5th at 6pm. Get your names in and keep the champs season rolling!
