Our Club is supporting World Squash day this Saturday.  This year Squash NZ, Districts and clubs are fundraising for the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation.

We have organised a 12-hour marathon (8am – 8pm) for Court 4.  We have also booked court 3 for overflow fun.  We have organised an itinerary for the day on court 4 but would love for as many Members as possible to come and participate during the day.

Any help on the day would be appreciated.  And once we finish at 8pm we can relax in the club rooms and chat with our fellow members.

Remember if you want to make a donation to the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation here is the link: https://events.mentalhealth.org.nz/fundraisers/khandallahtennissquashclub?ref=ch_3Jh9ZwKQCt56Bd4D1fOOzFI1

Or we will accept any gold coin donations on the day.
