Thanks to years of hard work and commitment from John Mullins and his team, Hallamshire has been awarded the Gold Club of the year 2008. This was presented at the World Championships in Manchester to John by former World No 1, Peter Nicol. John then came straight back to the Club's Annual Dinner Dance held at Baldwins Omega to a standing ovation from all the members and staff.
Competition is well under way. Check the latest results & league tables on the Squash & Racketball pages. Finals Nights: Squash Friday 11th September 2009, Racketball Saturday 19th September 2009.
The Tennis Team Challenge will be back shortly. Watch this space for this Winter's action.
England Squash were gushing in their praise for the way the Hallamshire staff and management supported this year's British Junior Open. It was the first major event since Hallamshire provided their own catering. The message was an almost universal thumbs up!
Club Manager, Steve Ball received a plaque on behalf of the Club.
The 2010 event will take place from 2nd January until 6th January.
After three years as Club Manager, Steve Ball is moving on to pastures new. Our best wishes go with him. Good luck with your new life in Shrewsbury.
