Glen Ragou Cup - 17 September 2022

The 2022 Glen Ragou Memorial Cup event will be held on Saturday 17th September 2022 at Sutton Coldfield Squash Club. Each player will be paired up against an opponent of a similar standard/age.

All matches will be PAR scoring best of 5 games. There will be additional North v South competitions in the bar afterward. This event is intended to be a social but competitive one, with the winning team presented with the Glen Ragou cup.

Bar food will be available throughout the day and the matches will be followed with food, drinks and a live band in the evening. Players are encouraged to socialise afterward and stay over as we all know that Glen liked to play and party hard!

Apart from a great day of squash and an evening of entertainment, all profits will be going to charity.

The cost for entering will be £30 and this will include a competitive game of squash, a great performance t-shirt, the usual gift pack of Glens Southern Comfort, entry to the event, your afternoon food, the evening curry and the live band. I know you are saying “WOW” already but for those still standing at the end of the evening, we will arrange access to the local music venue open until 3am.

2022 Home Internationals - Chairmans Comment

After an enforced two-year absence the Masters Internationals were back and 14 England Masters teams competed over the four weekends in Galway, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Cardiff. There was some fantastic Squash, great renewed camaraderie and all the ups and downs of high-class sport. A thank you to all the players who represented England so passionately and a special thank you to our Internationals Organiser Allen Barwise in his first year in the role.

In case you were wondering, England won 11 Championships and Ireland, Scotland and Wales 1 each. A number of 3/2 wins went our way and there were many thrilling contests.

Long may they continue.

Stuart Hardy

Chairman

The MO60's had an "all to play for" final match against the Irish and they narrowly lost 3 strings to 2.

Registration of England Squash Masters as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation

In view of the growth of ESM events, the Committee has undertaken a review of the ESM structure to ensure it continues to protect the interests of ESM and the players in ESM events. As a result of this, the Committee will propose at the players meeting on 1st April 2022 that a new Constitution is adopted as part of a process to register ESM as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

The Committee believe that this step is necessary and appropriate to allow ESM to continue to develop and grow participation in masters events. A document explaining the rationale for this proposed change is available here. The new Constitution can be viewed here and the associated Bylaws can be viewed here. If players would like any further information or have any questions, please contact the Secretary at [email protected]
