Lichfield Squash Club News - December 2023

Dear members

As 2023 comes to an end, we can look back on a very busy and successful year at the Club, epitomised by the last edition of the club newsletter for the year, which covers stories on all the main areas of club development.

Here is a summary of the latest club news, with links to read more, should you wish.

Memberships and Court Usage

It has been very encouraging to see the level of membership renewals, as well as the recent addition of new members, meaning that we now have nearly 80 members. Our target for 2023/24 is to reach 100, so we are well on the way to achieving that.

Court usage, despite an initial hiccup after the price increase, has recovered and is now back on track to continue growing, which is also most encouraging.

Thanks to everyone who renewed their membership this year and welcome to all new members. Thanks too for continuing to book courts and for supporting club events and initiatives.

Successful start to our Juniors Programmes

We were delighted to finally start delivering some junior squash programmes at the Club, with Squash Stars for those aged 5-9 and Junior Academy for those aged 10-16.

Both programmes were only possible through our B2022 Commonwealth Games legacy funding, secured through Sport England and the County Sports Partnership, Together Active.

Junior Academy has also been kindly sponsored by Andrew Downing Booth Estate Agents.

The Lichfield Squash Club Beginners and Improvers Club Nighters celebrated a successful 2023 with an end of year social. This Club Night group has gone from strength to strength this year and it’s great to see so many faces attending our Tuesday night sessions, which we hope to build on in 2024.

Club Leagues News

Congratulations to Gary Flockhart for winning his first Club Premier League title! It might have been down to playing more matches than some of his rivals, but as the late Bruce Forsyth used to regularly say 'points make prizes!'

Christmas Court Closures

Please note that the courts will be closed for the Christmas holidays from Saturday 23rd December (inclusive) and won’t reopen until Monday 8th January, to coincide with the school’s term dates. MyCourts has been updated to reflect this closure.

That concludes this final edition of the Club Newsletter for 2023. It just remains for me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you back on court from 8th January 2024.

Cheers
