Warkworth joins World Squash Day

The Warkworth Squash Club is inviting members and the public to celebrate World Squash Day on October 15 and fundraise for the Mental Health Foundation.

Members will play a 12-hour Squash Marathon starting at 7am.

Organiser Kaye Jackson says club members are being encouraged to sign up and play for either an hour or half-an-hour – paying for the privilege.

There will be a fun racketball competition from 7am to 9am, a fun squash competition with old wooden racquets from 3pm to 4 pm, and a doubles squash tournament from 5pm to 6pm.

For any members keen to do drills with Jackson, this event will run from 11am to midday.

All the activities are at a small cost which will go to the Mental Health Foundation.

There will also be sessions for adult beginners (9am-10am and 1pm-2pm) and sessions for children with dodge ball followed by a lolly scramble.

The day will wind-up with a pot luck dinner for children at 5pm and a pot luck dinner for adults at 6.30pm. Participants are asked to bring a plate.

“Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy our facilities,” Jackson says.
