Surrey Closed
We wanted to share an important update regarding one of the key events in the county squash calendar – the Surrey Closed 2026.

Please note that the tournament has been rescheduled and will now take place on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March 2026, instead of the previously advertised January dates. The venue remains unchanged and the event will still be held at The Wimbledon Club.

The Surrey Closed is the county’s premier individual tournament and is open to all eligible Surrey players, not just elite or professional competitors. With multiple grades available, the event is particularly well suited to players who regularly compete in the Surrey Cup, offering competitive and well-matched squash throughout the weekend.

There will be grading categories ranging from SquashLevels 0 through to 5000+, ensuring opportunities for players of all standards to compete in a competitive but inclusive environment.

Grades available are:

A Grade – SquashLevels 5000+

B Grade – SquashLevels 3000–4999

C Grade – SquashLevels 1500–2999

D Grade – SquashLevels 700–1499

E Grade – SquashLevels 0–699

Additional categories include Ladies, plus age-group events at O35, O45, O55, O65, O75 and O75+.

If you have already entered, your entry will remain valid for the new dates. For those yet to sign up, entries are still open and we encourage you to secure your place early, as availability may be limited.

We hope to see plenty of Reigate players flying the flag at The Wimbledon Club in February!

This will be the busiest weekend yet, featuring truly exceptional squash and a great atmosphere at RSC. If you’re not taking part, please do put the dates in your diary and come along to watch. We’d love to see lots of supporters cheering from the balcony, enjoying the action and helping create a real tournament buzz around the club.

Spectators are always very welcome – so bring friends and family, support the players, and of course give the bar some love too!

Annual Club Tournament – Save the Dates!
Plans for the much-anticipated Annual Club Tournament are taking shape.

We can confirm that matches will begin on Saturday 21st March, with Finals Night on Saturday 2nd May. Entry details will be released soon on MyCourts, so please keep those dates free and watch out for the all-important email with sign-up information.

It’s always one of the highlights of the year, open to players of every standard and we’re looking forward to another brilliant club-wide competition.
