The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed a new button appear on the court booking website this weekend. Well, you’re the first to hear about it… our upcoming 90th Anniversary Exhibition Night is taking place on the evening of Saturday 20th September (time TBC) and it’d be great to have you join us.

We’re pulling out all of stops on this one, with 3x World Champion Nick Matthew (previously WR #1), PSA 2024 Hinckley Challenger runner-up Rhys Evans (highest WR #126), Lucy Turmel (highest WR #23), and local hotshot Alicia Mead (highest WR #44) taking to our courts on what promises to be an absolute feast of squash.

These chance don’t come around often, and tickets are strictly limited due to capacity restrictions, so I encourage you to purchase your tickets quickly to avoid disappointment. Guests welcome. Tickets will be promoted outside of our club later this week, so secure yours now.

£15 for adults, £10 for under 16s. Ticket includes food choice (TBC).

Big thanks go to club member Neil Tuite, whose generous sponsorship of this event has enabled it to feature the A-listers above. His company, Aaron Sandford Cars, pride themselves on offering quality used cars you can trust — at prices that make sense. You can visit them just around the corner from us at 2 Nutts Lane Industrial. Estate, Hinckley (LE10 3EJ). Thanks Neil!

Join us to toast to the future of our club - 90 years young and 10 years at Maple Drive - with the best in the business on hand to teach us a thing or two! 

Full details to follow soon.

Just a quick note for those who haven't been to the bar recently, we have removed the Carling and replaced with Amstel. A refreshing and affordable 4.1% ABV lager just perfect for the hot weather we'll be having this week. Good luck to all those on court during the upcoming heatwave.

There's still time to reserve your place and take part in the 1st ever Hinckley Racketball Open. 

A one-day tournament much in the same vein as our popular Squash Open, we are opening our doors to the wider racketball world in a day of friendly competition in a range of grades.

• A Grade (12 places)
• B Grade (12 places)
• Ladies (6 places)
• Over 40s (8 places)
• Over 50s (8 places)
• Over 60s (8 places)
• Fun Doubles (6 teams)

Each grade will get a minimum of three games throughout the day. We are not sure about the format of the Fun Doubles yet, it'll be dependant on participation.

Cost
£20 per grade entered, which includes your own tournament t-shirt (or a choice of vest or t-shirt for ladies). If you want to play Doubles in addition that's an extra £5.

Prizes
Winner of each grade receives £50, with £25 to the runner-ups, with the exception of doubles where you win nothing but respect!

Date
Saturday 13th September. Start time TBC.

Sponsor
A massive "thank you" to The Recuitment Station for sponsoring the Hinckley Racketball Open 2025. The Recruitment Station is a local business that specialises in finding the right talent for your business and placing quality candidates in great roles. Their sponsorship helps greatly in making this event viable, so we are thrilled that they have come on board to ensure this tournament hits the ground running in its first year.

Please follow the button link below to book your place. Act fast, because places are limited and we will be communicating this tournament to the wider racketball world from Saturday 19th July. Club members get a week's head-start. Entries then close on Sunday 31st August.
