EPPING SQUASH CLUB

 

19th JULY 2021

AFTER  COVID RESTRICTIONS WERE LIFTED

BOTH COURTS ARE AVAILABLE AGAIN WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON WAYS TO PLAY AND NUMBERS ON COURT.

​

THE COMMITTEE WILL RECONVENE SHORTLY TO TRY AND RELAUNCH SQUASH AT THE CENTRE.

​

WITH THE CENTRE MANAGEMENT FIXING THE NEW CLOSING TIME to MON-FRI AT 9.15pm

  WE CAN NO LONGER FEASABLY HOST, AFTER 50 YEARS CONTINUOUS PARTICIPATION IN the ESSEX COUNTY LEAGUES.

we are hopeful of relocating at least 1 team to a nearby more welcoming club!

​

ANCIENT BOILERS HAVE FINALLY BROKEN DOWN COMPLETELY

So NO showers available till SEPTEMBER 2021 at the earliest!

this is a major and very costly issue (rumour is, it wil cost a 6 figure sum to put right)

We believe the management hoped that the boilers would last until the centre finally closes in a few years time.

IMPORTANT MEETING

Critical Meeting Between Representatives of the Club, Essex Squash(ESRA) ENGLAND SQUASH & SPORT ENGLAND

and EFDC COUNCILLORS /PFPL.

The result of this meeting was already decided before we sat down, the intransigent Council/Councillors would not ammend the contract, so 2 courts wil go! Not until Oct 26th.

they are not a listening council only one of greed & cuts!

​

Juniors registered reaches the 40 mark

The juniors registered with the Club, now numbers 43 (as of Saturday 9th September) a record,

believed to be the 2nd highest for any club in the county!

well done to the Coaches (all unpaid)

​

WELL DONE to Gulam Faruque, who passed his Level 1 Coaching Badge and now takes his place among our regular Coaches

Who are around Saturday Mornings 10-12 and Wednesdays 4.30-5.30

​

​

MALDON  has lost 2 more courts! now only 3 left, where once 8 existed

SPRINGHEALTH LEISURE CENTRE CLOSES SUDDENLY

The club based in Chelmsford was closed on the 24th january, when administrators where called in, the company which had venues also in Hampstead, &  Heathrow, faced mounting debts. This has meant the loss of 4 squash courts, the courts were quite dilapidated, but nontheless, the county can ill afford to lose any at all.
