Putting the development of coaches and volunteers first
I am pleased and proud to announce that The Club has secured the inaugural Scottish Open Racketball Championships from Scottish Squash & Racketball. The event will be held over the weekend of 28-29th April 2012.
The Scottish Open is open to all players in the UK and will be a UK Racketball-sanctioned event and as such participants will gain UK National Racketball Ranking Points.
Ray Currie has secured a major sponsor for the Scottish Open in Pathfinder Park Homes, who also are the major sponsor of our South of Scotland Masters in November.
We are seeking further sponsors for this prestigious tournament. If any members (or their employers) are interested in becoming sponsors please contact me initially.
