Evergreen Squash Club — Pure Squash
Juniors welcome!
An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.
Have a child at home, who is, perhaps, too small for hockey, football, rugby or basketball. Do not despair. Squash could be the game you are looking for.
Squash builds fitness, mental toughness, and helps create an attitude of success in everyone who takes up the sport. There is a learning curve involved; but, Evergreen Squash Club has the coaches and support required to make the endeavour successful.
Junior members at Evergreen Squash Club have been involved in a successful junior program for many years.
For more information, contact our Junior Director, Phil Arthur using our online form.

Awards and Thank Yous
Club President, Adam Radziminski, offered the club's thanks to
the many volunteers who have done so much this past year, and, in
particular, Katherine and Michael Walker who have been such a key
part of the membership drive.
Adam also introduced The President's Award which will
become an annual award to someone in the club who the president
feels has contributed in an "above and beyond" manner. The
winner of the 2009 president's award was Rick Kochanski in
recognition of his work creating a truly exciting and dynamic website
for the club. The site has attracted rave reviews from many quarters
and provides club members with an ever–changing insight into
the vibrant community that is Evergreen. Congrulations Rick!
This year's recipient of the Bob Withers
Memorial Sportsmanship Award was Charles Bristow. He was
presented with the plaque by Brenda Withers.
Congrulations Charles, well deserved!
Club Dinner
The Club Dinner, part of the tournament each year, was held on
Saturday the 25th upstairs at the club and, as usual was sold out
ahead of time. If you thought last year's 40th anniversary party
was great…you should have been there this year, or perhaps you
were!
The food was delicious and produced by a team of current,
and ex, club members who actually seem to enjoy cooking for nearly
100 people!! Entertainment this year was provided by many, including
Tim Hunt and Kevin Gillett.
Tim sang the world debut of a song he had composed specifcally about
the evolution of the Evergreen Squash Club. It is sung to the tune of
American Pie…it was outstanding and you can find the
lyrics on the
web site.
While everyone was tucking into a phenomenal selection of
desserts the entertainment was provided by guest comedian
Carter Hordie who had the wonderful ability to
"include" everyone in his 20 minute set. It was a tough act to
follow but Mike Jackson was the right man to do it…
Mike Jackson rounded out the "dinner segment" of the
evening with his traditional rousing rendition of The Dog
Song…for those of you who have not heard Mike do this
song…it is worth the price of admision alone!
More was yet to come — as some tables were cleared to
create space for dancing — club member David James
assembled his band, The Lemmings, and the second part
of the evening began! A varied and powerful set followed
with club members dancing their socks off until the wee
hours when the band tried to stop. Deafening cries of "MORE, MORE"
filled the air, so they returned to their instruments to bang out
Rockin in the Free World to send the crowd wild, and then,
finally…home!
Volunteers and Clean-Up
Many thanks to the numerous volunteers who made this event what
it was. (For those of you who did not volunteer, please consider
doing so next year as this is a volunteer run club.) In finishing,
it is important to note that the club does not return to normal
by itself!
Sunday morning found a small but dedicated crew cleaning
dishes, taking out garbage, putting tables back in place, etc.
The two club members who did the bulk of this work are both "new"
members. So, if you were at the dinner, next time you see
Stephen Pienaar or Eike Schroter around
the club, please extend your thanks to them for cleaning up
after…you!
See you next year.
