Recycaball
Just to let you know we have recycled our first batch of 250 tennis balls with the Recycaball company and received £35.40.
We have also donated a load of balls which were not suitable for recycling to Llys Nini the RSPCA Animal Centre. If you know of any other charities who would like used tennis balls let me know.

We are now collecting towards our next batch - if you have any old balls that are no suitable for playing - just put them in the boxes in the bar our under the balcony.

Squash Wales Junior Squad
The Welsh Junior Under 13 national squad will be holding a training session on the club on Saturday 6th November. It’s their second visit to our club and it’s good to see the future welsh champions use our facilities.
