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.
