All Courts Now Open – 100 Club Survey Results - Summer BBQ & CPR Training Reminders

Dear members,

We’re pleased to let you know that all courts are now back online and available to book following recent maintenance.

Before you play:

Please continue to check the court surface before play.
If needed, use the vacuum or broom (under the stairs) to sweep.
If the court is slippery or unsafe, do not play – the club will refund your booking.

Reminders:

Always wear clean, non-marking trainers.

Re-grip your rackets regularly.

A big thank you to Paul Phillips and the committee for managing the court works – we’re confident you’ll notice the improvements!

100 Club Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to our recent 100 Club survey – your input is helping shape the future of this much-loved club tradition.

Here’s what you told us:

Event Frequency:
A large majority supported moving from monthly to quarterly 100 Club events, helping us focus on making each one extra special.

The final monthly 100 Club will be held in September, followed by our first quarterly event in December – a Christmas extravaganza not to be missed!

100 Club Annual Fee:
Members were broadly supportive of an increase in the subscription:

11 people backed a rise to £24/year
7 preferred £18/year
2 wanted to keep the current rate at £12/year

As a result, the club will be increasing the cost of balls to £24 per year, payable from September, for all members of 100 Club.

Prize Fund:
There was unanimous agreement to cap rollovers at 3, i.e. at the fourth draw (the first draw then three rollovers), so we’ll be able to offer more consistent and exciting, bigger, better prize draws.

While we’re moving forward based on these results, nothing is set in stone. We’re still open to thoughts and ideas – please email your comments to reigatesquash@gmail.com by the end of July.

Let’s keep 100 Club fun, rewarding and welcoming for all – for the moment, we look forward to seeing you on the first Friday of August and September, followed by December’s Christmas special event!

If you'd like to know more about the 100 Club, simply reply to this message and we'll tell you all you need to know, including how to join in.

CPR & Defibrillator Training – Friday 19th September

We're offering another life-saving CPR & defibrillator training session on Friday 19th September at 7pm, led by member Francis Fernandes and CPR champion David Sullivan.

Francis will share his own CPR experience and you can hear about David’s incredible story of installing a defibrillator on Mount Everest, where it saved a life just two weeks later.

Cost: just £5
To book your place, email: sarahlmarrington@yahoo.com

These sessions are highly recommended – especially for team players and first-timers.

Have a great weekend and stay cool on (and off) court!
