Squash club looks for new members

The Red Beach Squash Club recently had two working bees to clean and repair its courts as the club looks to boost membership numbers under a new committee.

It is also keen to add to its two interclub teams and hopes to have a women’s team entered in the summer competition.

Club captain Jim Kayes says the club is in good health but shifting members from being casual players to competing in interclub is always a challenge.

“What’s helped is a change by Auckland Squash that means interclub draws are more regional, so long trips up and down the motorway at peak hour are largely a thing of the past,” he says.

Red Beach has a men’s open team and a mixed masters team.

Under the leadership of new president Gary Caitlin, the club is also looking for new sponsors.

The courts are also available for schools to book during the day.
