2022 - the Club's 15th Anniversary

This year, things gradually started to return to normal; we gained a few more members, picked up our juniors coaching programme and started a weekly Squash Wales Academy Squad at the Club; we also began to make some important changes in and around the Club.

Club's 2022 AGM

Our AGM as held on 26 May. Up for consideration was the latest position on our Third Court aspiration, we looked at the continued impact of the COVID pandemic, the level of subscriptions and light card fees for the following 12 months, as well as the election of officers for 2022-23.

For both the annual subscriptions and light card fees, they remained unchanged.

Note of 2022 AGM

Members Subscriptions for 2022-23 due from 1st June.

The followed rates were agreed:-

For Renewals:

* Seniors - £80.
* Juniors / Students - £30
* Family - £100.

For New Members:

* Seniors - £90.
* Juniors / Students - £40
* Family - £110.

Light Cards would remain at £3-00 per 45 minute session.

Some highlights from 2022 ...

Third Court

The AGM gave careful consideration to the matter of a Third Court at the Club; this had been an aspiration for many years, with managed savings accrued.

We lost around half of our membership and our court bookings greatly declined following the pandemic; this, together with a steep rise in the cost of building materials, not to mention the financial costs already incured, plus the time and energy spent by some Committee members, the time had come to make a firm decision.

On all counts, the AGM agreed that any current planning and investigation works towards a Third Court be suspended, indefinitely.

2021 Club Championships

Late into the year, our 2021 Club Championships took place on 11 December with the Main Final played between defending Champion, Jonathan Davies and Tim Arthur.

A superb Championship Final produced a very strong performance from Tim who took the match by 3-0 (11-7, 11-9, 11-8).

FAST & FURIOUS start to 2022 !

We welcomed in the New Year with a successful 2022 Fast & Furious Fun Competition on 8 January.

We had three Pool winners:
Pool 1 - Jonathan Davies.
Pool 2 - Darren Lee
Pool 3 - Hannah Davies.

We are a voluntary Club

As a voluntary Squash Club, it's important that much of the work around the Club is undertaken by our members / volunteers and, in February, we had two special helpers to sweep our courts !.

2022 British Open Champions

At the Hull Allam Sports Centre, between 28 March and 3 April, the 2022 Allam British Open Squash Championships prestigious Ladies and Mens event were won by Hania El Hammamy [Egypt] and Paul Coll [New Zealand].

2022 World Squash Doubles Championships

The 2022 World Doubles Championships were held in early April [Glasgow] and featured womens doubles, mens doubles and mixed doubles with players from across the world competing - a total of 15 nations, including Wales.

Representing Wales were our Club members, Tesni and Emyr Evans, together with Joel Makin, Emily Whitlock, Peter Creed, Elliot Morris and Owain Taylor.

Congratulations to our Welsh Teams

At the end of April, a Mens and Ladies Team represented Wales at the ESF European Team Division 1 & 2 Squash Championships 2022 in Eindhoven.

The Ladies Team finished in Second Place and the Men's Team in Fifth Place (both Division 1).

The players representing Wales were Tesni Evans, Emily Whitlock, Stacey Gooding and Lowri Roberts; for the Men's Team - Joel Makin, Emyr Evans, Peter Creed and Elliot Morris.

A celebration of Twenty Years !

In April we celebrated 20 Years since Wrexham Squash became formalised.

Fundamental to this had been two coaches Mark Davies and Jim Tunley; both have played a crucial part in the development and transition of Wrexham Squash through to establishing the Wrexham Brymbo Squash Club in 2007.

Check out our History Page for the full story on how the sport of squash in Wrexham has continued to change and develop.

Hannah at the double

To cap off a successful season, Second Team Captain, Hannah Davies, won two events at the 2022 North West of England Racketball Open , held at Liverpool Cricket Club on 8 May.

Hannah is a Double Champion following her win in the Women's A Event and then again winning the B Grade Open (Men and Women) - congratulations.

It's another double for Hannah

She's done it again - Hannah Davies, has again won two events over the weekend 14-15 May, this time it's the 2022 Heswall Racketball Open Championship as well as the Heswall Women's Open Squash Championship.

Huge congratulations to Hannah for a superb finish to her season.

The Class of 2022

With encouragement from the Club, six of our members completed their Squash Wales Level 1 Coaching Award in June, under the tutorship of Dave Evans, Squash Wales Performance Director.
Now their coaching journey can begin !

Racketball Taster success

On 1st July, we held a successful Racketball Taster session at the Club with members and seven non-members having a great evening trying racketball for the first time.

With some expert tuition from Darren Lee and Jon Davies, a competative environment soon emerged. An enjoyable and fun evening concluded in the Bar with pizza and a drink.

2022 Volunteer of the Year Award

Congratulations to our Club Secretary, Jim Tunley, on his award of Squash Wales 2022 Volunteer of the Year.

The award was announced on 2nd July in Cardiff, as part of the Squash Wales annual event to celebrate a number of exceptional members of the squash community across Wales.

Some big changes at the Club ...

During July / August we started some maintenance and aesthetic changes around the Squash Club.

During this off-season, work continued to upgrade many aspects of the Club and it had also been our intention that essential maintenance to both courts would have been completed ahead of the season starting in September (in the event our contractor could not meet this deadline).

Work in progress ...

Work commenced towards the end of July to refresh and upgrade the Squash Club started in July with thanks to our contractors and all of those volunteers who stayed behind after their game to assist with the scaffold.

2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games

There was a Welsh Squash Team at The Commonwealth Games - from 28 July to 8 August, where Joel Makin won Silver in the Men's Singles event.

Monthly Internal Leagues - changed

Our Monthly Internal Leagues changed during August with new League Rules (see below).

Kilimanjaro challenge for Club members

Congratulations to two of our members, Sian Hughes and Helen Massey on taking on Mount Kilimanjaro in September.

Sian and Helen climbed and reached Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters. They undertook the brilliant challenge to raise funds for the Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham. It was a 7 day trek and only 18 of the 21 size group made it to the Uhuru Peak (Sian was pleased to say that she's the eldest); Helen and Sian fared better than some of the team, who became quite nauseous and had to be given oxygen - playing squash over the years certainly helped with the fitness required.
Their Summit Day started 12am and it took some 8 hours 30 minutes to reach the top, where temp was -16 degrees.

How it started & how it's going now!

Over the past twenty years, the Club (and previously Wrexham Squash) has nurtured and developed the talents of many local juniors; some have gone on to achieve higher things and here we feature Hannah Davies.

Click on the link below to see how it started.

Masters Regional Event at Club

On behalf of Squash Wales, the Squash Club had agreed to host a Squash Wales Regional Masters Event on 21 - 23 October and encouraged all our members to give it their support.

The event was part of the Squash Wales Masters Circuit 2022-23 and split the competition into different age categories. On 14 October, however, Squash Wales took the decision to postpone this event due to a lack of entries; they were to try again next year!

Court booking times aligned

With effect from 11 October the Club's court booking times were aligned back to the pre-pandemic arrangements; having been altered to assist social distancing protocols.

New signage at the Club

As part of our general uplift of the Club and its facilities, to assist our visiting Club Teams, new members and guests, new signage to the Squash Club was installed on 19 October.

Big thanks to Hannah Davies for organising this work.

A fresh new look

The decoration of the lobby and balcony areas was completed during November and gave the Club a much fresher feel; new flooring would be laid in December.

Fast & Furious 2022

This year's Fast & Furious Christmas Competition took place on 3 December.

It was Christmas event with a good day of friendly play and banter; and great to see some of our junior players also taking part.

Uplift continues

The Club's desire to improve the facility took a further step on 14 December with new flooring laid across the public areas. Some finishing off was still required - new skirting to be fitted and painted.

In the New Year, attention will be back to some essential court maintenance, as well as improving the toilet and shower areas of the Club.

Our youngest member !

We sent huge congratulations to Lewis and Ella Jones on the birth of Harrison, on 18 Deceember.

Teams Sponsorship

We were fortunate to have much needed sponsorship of our Teams from The Educate Group.

It was particularly welcome in the 2022-23 Season, our first ever in the top Division of the North West Counties League.

New Season, some new players

In September, a new season and a new chapter began with our First Team playing Division One in the North West Counties .

To help give it our best shot, we've recruited two new players, Welsh Internationals - Owain Taylor and Rhys Evans - members had an opportunity to meet them both and see them on court at an informal evening session at the Club on 1st September.

New season warm-up

Looking forward to a new season in the North West Counties Leagues, a Club Night on 1 September welcomed Owain Taylor and Rhys Evans to the Club, with some of their new team mates in 2022-23.

With brilliant wins from Tim Arthur (3-0) and Rhys Evans (3-0), the match stood at 2-2; young Josh Davies (passed his driving test that morning) went all the way with Wigan's experienced, Ryan Atherton, who eventually came through 11-6 (2-3) to win the match for Wigan.

In the other two matches, Steve Jenks (1-3), while at Number 1, Owain Taylor lost out to England International, Patrick Rooney (0-3). An excellent evening all round.

It was our first ever Division 1 win and the match results shows what a fantastic team performance it was. With brilliant wins from Owain Taylor (3-0), Josh Davies (3-0) and Tim Arthur (3-0) but superb effort in the other matches, Ryan Lewis (2-3) and Steve Jenks (2-3).

It was a great night, despite the result ! - Our First Team hosted top of the table Warrington 1 on 22 November, with a packed gallery and some top, top squash.

We lost a hard fought match 5-0 but, possibly hero of the night was WBSC Number 1, Rhys Evans.

In an amazing match of high quality and superb fitness, Rhys took his match with Adrian Waller (Highest World Ranking 17) to four games.
Great to see plenty of support for the Team.

Juniors match up with Moreton Hall

To help give them all a new experience in their squash skills development, we arranged a "match" between some of the Club's Juniors and Boys from Moreton Hall School on 12 February.

All were Year 7 pupils and most had not played in this type of situation before; it was useful also for members of the Coaching Team to see how each performed and understand where the emphasis should be for future coaching sessions. Well played everyone.
