Great Party Saturday Night

What a party we had on Saturday night for our 2023 Squash Club Banquet. Everyone was dressed in their Western garb and Hootin’ up and Hollerin’ on the dance floor.

Music was provided by Ron Del and his Blue Thumb Envy Band. Have a look at this video that Ron posted today.

A big thank you goes out to our Banquet Cowgirls who put the event together and did a wonderful job of decorating Drums and Flats for the even.
Thank you Caryn, Carol, Deb, S.J. and Hazel for a job well done.


Congratulations to our two new members of the Chris Doona Award Winners, Steve Dizig and Mark Rohlehr. Well deserved Gentlemen.

Banquet Party and Doubles “Shin Dig” Tourney

Hi Everyone!

I am excited to announce the dates for our upcoming Doubles Parsons “Shin Dig” Tournament and our end of the season banquet party.  

The sign-up sheets will be posted soon on the boards outside the doubles courts (for the Shin-dig).  

Here are the details…

Parson’s “Shin-Dig” Doubles Tournament

For those of you who have participated in this annual event, you will remember that it is an absolute blast!  Here is how it works…

The tournament will be played on the evenings of Wed. April 26th-Sat. April 29th (daytime matches on Sat.).  The first 32 players to sign up are guaranteed a spot so sign up asap!  Once the sign up is complete, teams will be made as even as possible so that all teams have a fair shot at winning the tourney and having their names on the big trophy.  We make the teams so you don’t need to sign up with a partner.  

If you decide to sign up, please make note of the dates and have them available.  The draw and start times will be sent out the week prior to the tournament.  No doubles playing experience necessary!  I encourage all players to participate as this is a great opportunity to discover how much fun doubles squash can be.  

The Annual Squash Club Banquet is Back! YEAH!!!

Lastly, we all know that any fun event at the club requires a social night!  This year we have a themed party event that you won’t soon forget!  Saddle up everyone because we are going to cause quite the “racquet at the rodeo”!  

Here are the details:

Date: Sat. April 29th

Time: 6:00pm ‘Til the cows come home

Where: Drums ‘N Flats (California Sandwiches) Main Floor

Address: 60 Randall Drive, Ajax

Ticket cost: $30  -Ticket includes dinner, drink ticket and Live Band (Blue Thumb Envy with our good friend Ron Delavigne on drums!!)

There will also be tournament awards, prizes for best dressed and some fun games.  Please feel free to bring your significant other or a friend.  You can reserve your tickets by sending me an email.   We will need to know numbers so if you plan on coming, please send me an email and let me know!  Our whole club should be at this event so please come out and help celebrate our club.  

Dig out a plaid shirt or your best western outfit and let’s celebrate another successful season at the squash club.

See everyone on the courts,

Nicole

Shindig Tourny and Banquet Coming Up

Hi Everyone,
I would like to invite you to participate in  our annual     Doubles ShinDig Doubles Fun Tournament.  For those of you who have participated in the past, you know it’s an absolute blast!  Here is how it works…
All you need to do is sign up on the doubles board outside the doubles courts and Terry, John and I will match you up with a partner so that each team is at an equal level and has an even chance of winning the big prize.  You do not have to be a doubles player to participate, this is a great chance to get on the doubles court and see just how much fun the game really is.   The tournament will be played in the evenings starting on Wednesday April 18th, Thursday April 19th, Friday April 20th and the finals on Saturday morning April 21st.  Please have these dates available if you are planning on participating.
On the evening of Sat. April 21st we will be heading over to Drums n Flats restaurant (the old Safari Restaurant) to celebrate another successful year at the Pickering Squash Club.  If you are planning to attend, please purchase your ticket asap so that we have accurate numbers for the evening.  The evening will start with 2 free drink tickets, appetizers and some fun mingling.   A buffet dinner with a wide variety of delicious options will be served including salmon, ribs, grilled chicken, pasta primavera and sides.  To finish the evening off, those of you who are wearing your dance shoes can hit the dance floor and maybe even show us some moves we don’t see on the squash court!  Tickets are $45 and you can purchase your tickets from your T&D captain, Fred Dizig, Winston Bell, Steve Dizig, Joan Hill, Terry Bruce or myself.
Sign up is limited so please be sure to sign up asap for the Shin-Dig tourney and feel free to contact me if you would like to reserve your banquet tickets!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on the doubles court!
Nicole
