What else do we do?

This is a very social group, so we gather post-squash at the designated post-squash bar (pre-announced) for a chat, a laugh, a bite and a drink. We also organize some fun squash road trips to various tournaments across the province (Women’s Masters Teams Tournament every September https://www.facebook.com/groups/womensquash/events/ ) but also the States (Howe Cup – every November https://www.facebook.com/events/1513305148729286/ ), etc… some of our players enjoy golf, play tennis in the summer or join squash summer league.
