Welcome. This is an unofficial blog for Beaconsfield squash club.
Here you'll be able to access info about team matches, keep tabs on divisional positions,
and get updates on squash and racketball events and any forthcoming social activity.
It could also be the place to start (and end) rumours, and indulge in healthy banter.
There's bound to be the odd thing that offends; but that's alright isn't it, us being adults?
If you're truly miffed just email me and I'll remove the offending article.
You'll also be able to post a blog yourself; I am your host so, simply email me your piece/rant/match report/poetry/recipe for tripe to:
trev@lisacottage.demon.co.uk
I'll put it up 'in the cloud' and folk will then be able to comment or heckle...
So come on, email your pieces or add your comments below what is already posted there.

The 'Tread Gaz' Challenge: I'm Lugging It...

Gareth Ashington has requested me to post this as a 'mini social event'.
Now, I've been chez Gazza and he and Anna are perfect and charming hosts, but it makes you wonder about his pleasure threshold.
As you can see, the challenge is being sponsored by McDonalds who will be supplying complimentary wheelbarrows (if needed).
We look forward to receiving your times, particularly the Lol/Stampy combo who will replace the stop watch with a calendar...

Today Gareth and Mark, with a combined age of 94 years, set down a challenge to any pair to beat their time. 
The mission if you choose to accept is;

Court sprint the following pyramid of sprints – 10, 20, 30, 40, 30, 20, 10 – a total of 160 court sprints each. Player A runs 10 sprints and upon completing touches the back wall and then Player B sets off etc.

Don’t forget to start your timer. 
We managed 16 minutes 20.77 seconds and will now wait to be challenged. 
Any pairing that feels up to it can have a go and report time to Trevor. 
If there is interest Gareth will donate a prize to the eventual winner and is thinking of a “live” final with 2 pairs on court to decide the outright winner. 
This event could be turned into a mini social event.
