Club Locker Mass email capability launch and Squash NS Memberships

Club Locker just released a mass email capability to allow SNS to communicate with its members.  This morning we reached out to members past and present about the NS Open via that method. If you received more than one email, then either you personally have more than one account in Club Locker, which is a problem) or you have set up accounts for more than one person using your email (which is fine).

I am posting this to let people know that the emails went out. If you were or are a member of Squash NS and did not receive an email, and you want to, then please reach out to Graham and let him know.  If you do not want to receive any more emails from Squash NS, please let Graham know so that we can take you off the membership list – you can then unsubscribe form the email you received.  If you received an email,and you want to continue to receive them, but haven’t updated your membership since September please log in to your account https://novascotia.clublocker.com/login , go to the membership tab and upgrade/select your membership. For information on membership types, costs and benefits please go to https://nssquash.ca/membership-classes/ for more information.

We will be cleaning up the membership database during the summer.

NS squash community to honour Ray Souchereau with memorial tournament

Members of Nova Scotia’s squash community are gathering this weekend in Halifax for the first annual Ray Souchereau Squash Classic tournament to celebrate the life of Souchereau and his contributions to the game of squash.

Souchereau passed away in November after a short illness. He was 57 and lived in Halifax.

“Ray was a selfless gentlemen who gave so much to the sport of squash and to everyone he met,” said Matt Bishop, who is organizing the tournament in Souchereau’s memory. “He played for the province, for the challenge and for the joy of it.”

Souchereau qualified as a Black Shirt referee, travelling to officiate at tournaments across the country. As a competitive player, he represented Nova Scotia in out-of-province tournaments.

He also hosted international players visiting the province for professional tournaments and entertained delegations visiting with the international squash organization known as The Jesters.

On weekend mornings, he could be found on the courts at Saint Mary’s playing “cutthroat” squash for fun.

The memorial tournament will take place at the SMUfit Club on 920 Tower Road in Halifax.

Matches will be played Friday night and all day Saturday with finals being played on Sunday morning and early afternoon. The public is welcome.
