There was no respite for the bar staff at the weekend. After the full-house at the Friday Poker night they were faced with the 24 participants in the Squash Chairman’s Birthday Bash handicap event on Saturday night. This time it was Soup and Salad rather than Bottles of Beer but resulted in another busy night. Rumours that the Chairman is to institute an official birthday in order to arrange another event have been denied by her spokesperson.

Conserve your energy
16 02 2008As many will have seen there has been a lot of maintenance work taking place at the Clubhouse this week.
The bumps and thumps in the ceiling have been the result of more insulation being installed. Work is also being undertaken to fit new radiators and a new boiler has been installed. This has meant some short-term disruption to the heating but is aimed at cutting back on the high, and still increasing, energy costs which have had to be reflected in increased subscription costs.
Hopefully members will have one eye on their subs and help to minimise energy wastage by ensuring doors and windows are closed where appropriate and by turning off equipment and lights when not required.

Central Scotland Squash Masters
10 02 2008The squash masters were at it again this weekend, this time in the Bridge of Allan Open Masters Tournament. Once more they figured in the finals.
Davy Rogan repeated his East of Scotland victory by winning the over 70’s event. Sue Strachan was beaten again in a Masters final in the Ladies’ over 35 event but is hopeful that the results will put her in a good position to be selected when the Scottish National teams are announced in March.

In at the Deep End
4 02 2008The mysterious message said “9 o’clock. Saturday morning. Outside the swimming pool”.
This was intriguing. Were the club following the lead of Ana Ivanovic, the Serbian world number 2 tennis player who learnt her game in an out-of-use swimming pool? Were we now going to have the first net of 2008, in the pool?
It was a motley crew that presented themselves at nine o’clock. Some looked like refugees from the Friday night before, some just looked bemused to find that Saturday morning existed, while others had not grasped that Scotland is cold if the puddles are frozen and were standing there ‘metaphorically’ in their t-shirts.
