Come out and support your ORC’s Toronto and District teams.
Watch as ORC’s finest squash players take to the court to do
battle with players from other clubs. This year, we are
fielding teams in five divisions: The Open B, C and D, as well
as Women’s B and D. Matches are played on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings. Why not grab a beverage from the
CORCscrew and bring it down to the squash gallery and catch
some of this muscle-burning, lung-bursting, mind-bending
squash action! Our guys and gals would really appreciate some
support on their home courts. If you are interested in playing
for one of our teams, contact Ben.
Junior squash clinics are up and running and there are
still some spaces available. Contact Ben Hatcher if your kids
are interested. The kids are having a great time getting fit
and developing their technique. Clinics are currently running
on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, but there are also time
slots available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, numbers
permitting. Join now while there are still spaces.
ORC’s club wide box league and ranking
computer system is up and running. I f you are interested in
having your name added to the system, contact Ben in the
squash office. The ladder is a great way to find people of
equal ability and the box league enables you to schedule
regular matches.

Club Renovations
Update
Renovations are moving
at a brisk pace now and it is only a short time before we seal
the roof and enclose the outside walls and windows. A great
deal of work is still yet to be done, however once we enclose
everything we will be able to move even faster and catch up on
lost time.
Men’s Locker
Room:
At some point over the
next four weeks, we will ask all men’s lockers holders to
remove their belongings from their lockers in preparation for
the expansion. All locker usage will then be on a “day
locker use only” as we will be relocated into a
smaller area while construction is going on in the existing
locker room. All current locker holders will be credited for
the time lost in their lockers. We will also ensure that there
is at least a two week notice given to remove belongings,
however for those that do not get in, we will bag and mark all
contents and store them in our trailer for pick up.

Ladies Locker Room:
Ladies can expect to be moving back into the
ladies area in approximately 6 weeks.
To all our members we appreciate your patience
and understanding during the renovation. I can assure you it
will be well worth the wait! Should anyone wish to view the
new layout plans I would be happy to go over them with
you.
*Please Note:
These Monthly Bulletins will be e-mailed out at
the beginning of every month, if you have anything you would
like to have announced, or would like more information about
something that you read, please contact Jenn Cook at jcook@ontarioracquetclub.com
