Update 01/07/21

Dear Members,

It’s great to see so many of you back at the club, enjoying a game and a social drink afterwards.

The country has not got full opening for a further 3 weeks, but this has not affected squash and racketball too much. You can still play who you want, when you want. Please take advantage.

The club bar is still having to use table service, but the service and the drinks are good. Enjoy and take advantage of this as well.

To reflect this relaxation, the club’s internal squash leagues are to re-start. . They are set up on the club’s on-line system. If you want to join the the leagues please let Nigel know and you will be entered nigelgodwin1@me.com

There is also an updated version of the controls that are in place at the club. Please read them and follow the recommendations. We do not want to lose our squash and racketball again.

Stay safe and enjoy playing.

Barnsley Squash and Racketball Club
