 Hi all,
The committee at the University Of Otago Squash Club have gotten together and we've decided we'd like to do our bit to help the victims and their families after the events that occurred in Christchurch a couple of weeks ago. So we are running a doubles night that will take place next Friday, the 12th of April starting 6pm, running till late. You may enter as a team or as an individual, if you enter as an individual we'll pair you up with another individual. The entry fee is $15 per player, i.e. $30 for a team. All entry fees and bar profit will be sent away to Christchurch so the more numbers the better! We have spot prizes donated for players, and will be given as prizes! It will be themed " Red and Black " as they're Canterbury colours and there will be prizes for best dressed so get creative! Lastly, some have emailed saying they'd like to donate some money instead of playing, if that is the case, please don't hesitate to email me on [email protected] and I'll let you know where you can deposit the donation. Thank you all so much, it is much appreciated. Jayden Millard President
