Squash: Dumfries Squash Club Newsletter – Aug 2010

13 08 2010

Issue 8 of the Squash Newletter is on the shelves. See below.

DUMFRIES SQUASH CLUB NEWSLETTER – AUGUST 2010.
Issue No.8

Scottish Squash & Racketball
Affiliated Club 2010/11

Dear Squash Players,

Welcome to the latest issue of the e-newsletter focussing on news and events in the squash section of Dumfries Sports Club. Inside this issue:

  • Off-Peak Court Pricing
  • Summer Club Nights
  • Squash Coaching
  • Squash Club Committee Meeting
  • Scottish Squash & Racketball update
  • Doubles Tournament
  • Easyfundraising reminder.

Off-Peak Pricing – the squash committee will be preparing a plan to present to the Sports Club’s Management Committee in September for the introduction of off-peak squash court pricing. Off-peak periods are generally during the morning, mid-afternoon and late evening and the aim is to increase the utilisation during these periods.

Any proposal needs to be revenue-neutral to avoid a veto, so heavily-discounted court fees during off-peak periods will necessitate a small increase in peak-period court fees. If you have any comments on this issue please contact me or any other squash committee member. Read the rest of this entry »
