New Membership Cards

 

Hi all Chamber members,

 

It is very sad and dis-heartening that black marks are appearing on some of the courts (Court 2 and 5 especially) and this can only be due to NON-members playing in black-soled marking shoes (I can’t believe any members would consider playing in marking shoes). We take pride in keeping the courts in good condition and the fact that cleaning of each court costs R1500 and sanding probably R4000-R5000 per court makes this a very expensive exercise when the courts are abused.

 

In the past we have been very relaxed as to the number of guests that members are allowed. From now on a member can bring a maximum of 2 guests to play and the member MUST be present the entire time. 

 

This is an effort to stop the court abuse and all members must also use the on-line booking system to book courts (even in non-peak times) so that court usage can be monitored. This is not difficult.

 

So that Collett knows who is a member or not and who to sell tokens to, we will be issuing all members with membership cards.

 

We will also be changing the code for the entrance gate over the weekend as well and will let you know the new one when complete. Please do not tell non-members what the code is.

 

PLEASE if you see anybody playing in, what look like, marking shoes, take the members details and kick them off the court.

 

I know that 95% of the members are not abusing the membership but as always in life it is the last 5% ruining it for the rest.

Squash Summer Leaque 2022

 

With league coming to an end soon, it’s time for the Chamber Summer League again.

For those who don’t know, this is the social internal league for both guys and gals, with a few invited guests. Starting from October 4th (once a week – mainly Tuesdays) with the finals in early December.

 

As usual the teams consist of 6 players ranging from strong No 1’s to “not so strong” No 6’s. Playing times are semi-fixed and vary every week – one week early evening (5h30 or 6h10), one week latish (6h50 or 7h30), and every 3rd week will be doubles at about 8h10.

 

Send a mail to me to enter at chair@chamberexiles.co.za

 

If you know of any non-members who you think would enjoy, please forward this mail to them

 

The cost is a mere R200.  This years theme is still to be finalised. If anybody has any bright ideas please let me know.
