December and January leagues

Hello

Welcome to the February Leagues.

This month sees the launch of our web/blog - www.presteignesquash.com . Give it a visit for information and register free with googlemail to post any news or views. If you have any queries please contact our wemaster, Andy Wilmot (07739 822034;andrewmwilmot@hotmail.com ).

BINGO If you can, please support our fundraising bingo evening on Saturday 13th February at Presteigne's British Legion Club. Doors open at 6.45 with Eyes Down at 8.00.

HANDICAP COMPETITION A squash handicap competition has been organised for all Presteigne league, ex league, non league and team players. It will take place on Friday 19th, Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st February at the Leisure Centre. Handicaps will be allocated depending on league results and will allow a player in League 5 to compete effectively with a player from League 1.
Scoring will be PAR (point per rally) to 15 and be the best of 3 games. All matches will be refereed/marked.
There will be both a main and Plate competition(for first round losers) which means that everyone will get 2 matches. The cost of entry is £5 (and no court costs) and there will be trophies for the winners. Please come and join in what will be a fun weekend of squash whatever standard you are. First round matches will take place on the Friday evening from 6.00 and please say if you can make that time or prefer later.
It's difficult to generate a club atmosphere at a municipal Leisure Centre but we hope this will help. In future we will also organise a club night where you just turn up and play whoevever else is there. Please enter by sending me an email or calling by Monday 15th February . If you have any queries please contact Andy Dodgson who is organising the event (andrew.dodgson@powys.gov.uk; 01544 267047)
