Dear Friends,
It’s that time of the year when we rug up as we shiver through Winter so congratulations to the brave soles who made it to Bendigo and competed in our most recent Masters tournament. Cold as it was, it was a fun weekend away as is generally the case. Congratulations to Cam Penna for taking out his hometown tournament by defeating David Kempster in the Div 1 final. Over the weekend, we celebrated the life of Ra Ra with a Chardy or two at the dinner dance on Saturday night. I’m sure we did him proud.
The World Masters Squash tournament in Perth is fast approaching. I know there will be lots of Aussies competing so good luck to you and do us proud.
I can now confirm Victoria will be hosting the 2027 Australian Championships in Ballarat. This will be our second time in Ballarat with the dates set for the 8th-16th October. By moving the tournament to October there will no VMSA Ballarat Masters Tournament in the usual month of November in 2027. So please make it a date to compete in the Australians instead.
A reminder our Major tournament sponsor Steve Walton continues to offer members a great deal when purchasing online from squash.com.au Spend $50 or more online and VMSA members receive a $25 discount when they use the code VMSA26. This offer still applies until the 31st Dec. It’s a great deal so why not take advantage of it before it expires.
The new Spring pennant season has commenced and I’ll be back on court after a bit of time out with a dicky knee. Made it through Bendigo so here’s hoping the old bones can hold up for a while longer. All the best as we head toward Spring with plenty of competitive squash ahead.
Squash is good,
Lou Morsch

Contact UsBendigo was another great tournament. Although it was a bit chilly, we had 67 entries over 9 sections which is fantastic. Thank you to all the Interstate players who made the effort to cross the border ACT 1, TAS 1. There were so many great matches and it was a pleasure to watch them play out in true master’s sport-person-like manner.
We welcomed 7 “virgins” Glen Hofert - Bairnsdale, Belinda Bird - Bairnsdale, Graham West - Bendigo, Gail Oliver - Bendigo, Rosanna Powell - Bendigo, Franc Bakkes - Bendigo, Hilary Ingram - Essendon. Our Virgins buddy, Leanne Haley, looked after them very well. We hope to see you at another tournament soon where you can use your free tournament entry voucher.
The Dinner Dance was held at the Bendigo RSL and we had a fabulous night with good food, drink and great conversation. Our President did a special toast to Ra Ra which was quite fitting as he was known as the “Chardy King”. The band played some fantastic songs to help us dance the night away, the dance floor was packed all night. Thanks to the RSL for being so accommodating, it was very easy dealing with them.
To the court’s President Wayne Lowe, you were so helpful with all our requirements. You made my job easy, so thanks for the support. To all the people who helped over the weekend I know you were under pressure so thanks for the hours you put in to produce great food, also for the wide range of beverages on offer to our players. Cheers to the bar and food staff.
