24 hour squash marathon.

Wigton Squash Club is preparing for a non stop charity 24 hour squash marathon. The event, which is part of a 2 day open weekend at Wigton Rugby Club, starts at 4pm on Saturday 4th September and will continue non stop for 24 hours. Club players of all ages and standards are taking part - juniors, club players, team players and veterans. The club is raising money for the Great North Air Ambulance which provides vital life saving support to rural Cumbria. Several recent tragedies have demonstrated the importance of the air ambulance to our communities. If you would like to support our event, please visit our JustGiving site at http://www.justgiving.com/Wigton-Squashathon Many thanks John Honeyman

Men`s & Women`s Senior County Closed Championships

Results, 19/01/10.

 

CS Inter County Teams 2009/2010 (posted 09/08/09)

We have entered the following teams in the ICC for the forthcoming season:

Junior Girls: U15 & U17

Junior Boys: U13, U15, U17, U19

Men: Over 35, Over 45, Over 50, Over 55

I had no responses for Men Over 60 and, particularly disappointing, no interest at all shown for the Men’s Senior event.

Similarly no interest was shown at all for Women’s Senior & Age Group teams.

David Henderson is in process of organising Team Managers for the junior teams.

Team Captains for the Men’s Over 55 & Over 50 events have been appointed – Over 55 Ronnie Bell, Over 50 Chris Lilley.

I am looking for captains for the Over 35 & 45 teams – anyone interested? Until I can make such appointments I will be direct contact with Alison Henley – ES&R Organiser

Regards Tom Armstrong Chairman & Secretary Cumbria Squash

 

Special performance award

I am pleased to report that the Executive Committee has given a special performance award to Gary Thwaite for his formidable performances over a period more than 25 years. The attached note gives all details (download note). The presentation was made at Windscale Club’s 50th anniversary celebration evening on 4 April 2009. Gary was presented with two awards by visiting superstars James Wilstrop and Lee Beachill to make it a really special occasion for him – my thanks to the lads for doing this. I give my thanks also to Windscale Club (Graham, Ian & Patty) for working with us and allowing us to be part of that very special evening. I have attached a photograph of the presentation kindly provided by Jim Irving – thanks Jim. It was an excellent evening – congratulations Windscale on your 50th - Tom Armstrong.
