On-line Booking set to continue following successful trial

The Squash Club Committee met on 23 April and has agreed to enter into an arrangement with HBI Consulting Ltd of Tunbridge Wells that will maintain the On-Line Booking system. This is both an important initiative and financial commitment for the Club and our thanks to those members who did respond with their views following the recent three month trial.

Only active (paid up) members of the Club will be able to book a court and this may be actioned through either a PC or a WAP enabled mobile phone. The instructions sent out in January are also available on the website. The website also includes the facility for members to amend any of their personal details but it is particularly important to ensure the system does show your correct e-mail address.

Please note that having booked (or cancelled) a squash court, the system will automatically issue an electronic confirmation of booking back to your e-mail address - as we will not have a link and touch screen at the Club, it is recommended that members keep these and take them to the Club, to avoid any confusion.

Access the system using the link above

Please remember, this system also allows members to view their position in the monthly leagues and provides appropriate contact details.

Adult Coaching

Fourteen members of the Club have so far expressed interest in joining group coaching sessions and our first took place on 12th May. Feedback has been very positive, allowing people to think more about their game and that the session was hard work but fun.

Anyone interested in coaching should contact with either Mark Davies or Jim Tunley. Any level of play is available !

Calling all potential coaches . . .

Do you have what it takes to become a qualified squash coach - if so, your Club needs you!

Three Club members, Darron Hewitt, Llinos Evans and Hannah Davies recently attended a Level One coaching course at Holywell and each are due to be assessed later in March. Prior to assessment, they will have to take four coaching sessions under the supervision of another qualified coach, who will monitor their progress and provide mentoring support.

Hannah has also elected to take part in a Referee and Marker course, which again will be assessed later this year.

The Squash Club may be able to assist with necessary fees and mentoring but, if any Club member has an interest in committing to become a qualified coach, please chat it through first with Mark Davies.

Superb Final sees Hannah come through !

After some enforced delays to matches during this competition, sponsored by Darren Booth, there were two hard fought matched at the Semi Final stage on 6 February, but these were eclipsed in the Final.
Friday the 13th proved lucky for the Club with a brilliant final match in which the youth of Hannah Davies overcame the experience of Darron Hewitt.

Our congratulations to both players in getting through to this stage and for providing an excellent Final.

The winner's trophy will be presented to Hannah when we arrange an end of season social event at the Club.

About our Club ....

Wrexham Brymbo Squash Club welcomes all levels of ability, from beginners to advanced.

The Club opened in March 2007 and has two private, centrally-heated squash courts that are considered by many to be the best in the area. The Club fields four competitive teams: one mens and one ladies team in the North West Counties Squash Leagues and two teams in the North Wales Squash Leagues and these include some of the Club's promising Junior players.

Since the Club opened, we have seen a steady growth in our membership to both our senior and junior sections and we are most grateful to our sponsors, from the Sports Council for Wales along with the Directors of the Brymbo Sports and Social Complex, for allowing us to make this possible.

Through our Welsh SRA qualified coaches we have an active programme of junior coaching and practice sessions in the early evenings throughout the year.

This web site is integral to the on-going commitment to the development of Squash in Wrexham with the Club at Brymbo at the heart of programmes to encourage young people to play.

Congratulations ... our North Wales Juniors

Our rising stars at the Club, Hannah Davies, Llinos Evans and Emily Jones confirmed the positive force in North Wales junior squash as they competed in the most prestigious event in World Junior Squash, the British Junior Open Championships held at Sheffield over the weekend 2 - 6 January.
