SQUASH CLUB NIGHT 2.0

It’s May already and the nights are getting colder. Which means only one thing…it’s squash season!

So we’re giving our Thursday Club Night a bit of a refresh. More vibes, less standing around trying to find a group to hit with, bar open (of course), and sauna on.

We’ll have someone sorting courts and mixing you around so you get good hits with different people, and any newbies can find their groove and get a friendly welcome. Have a hit, have a drink, meet some people, and hang around after for a sauna and a chat.

Just show up with your racket (or borrow one of our old spares) and we’ll sort the rest 😁.

This new format will start on 21 May, so come on down and support the club on kick off night! We may even provide a few snacks…👀

And we’re looking for volunteers to help out with club night occasionally! Not a big job, just being there once every couple months to help run the show. Please message our club captain Mya if you’re keen - she’d be very grateful for the support.
