April 2022 There has been quite a lot going on in April and much more happening in May. Please keep your eyes peeled on Social Media, our Website and emails coming out to ensure you don't miss out on anything. UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS:
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING & SQUASH NZ CLUBS HUI Squash Waikato are holding a Special General Meeting on Monday 16th of May 6.30pm at Lugton Park Squash Club. We are holding this meeting to pass the new changes to the Constitution. To review the constitution you can do this here. This will then be followed by Squash NZ Waikato Clubs hui. I encourage all clubs to be represented at this important meeting, as Squash NZ will detail all of the changes coming in 2023, with specific focus on the Levy Model. Please make sure at least 1-2 club members attend this meeting.
