A big thank you to all of you who attended our Squash Club Champs Finals Day and AGM on Friday evening. We had a fantastic turn-out, and were treated to some exhilarating squash in the various finals.
Congratulations to our Prize Winners in the various categories:-
PETER HOLLING TROPHY: Eric Putsman
For those who have joined the club in the last 5-10 years, you probably did not have the opportunity and privilege to meet Peter Holling. Peter was a member of our club for many years, and served as Chairperson from 1996-1999. He gave tirelessly of his time and resources to the club, and sadly passed away a few years ago. Before leaving us, Peter donated a cup to the club - The Peter Holling Trophy. His intention was that it be presented annually to a member who had over time shown dedication to the club, not necessarily always visibly, but always selflessly and without thought of reward or recognition.
Eric was a unanimous winner this year, in recognition of his years of service to the club, and specifically the instrumental role he’s played over the past 2 years in managing the intricate tennis upgrade project. Well done, and thank you, Eric.
