They have a thriving Junior section with girls and boys competing at Local and National levels as well as in the mini-leagues and club competitions. So come and be a part of one of the most progressive clubs in the region. The Squash Club has two England qualified Licensed coaches offering individual one to one and group coaching for beginners, improvers and advanced players. See website for further details: www.wakefieldsquashclub.co.uk.
Rifle and Pistol: The season is quite busy with on-going competitions and Wednesday nights is always popular with prospective new members and probationary members that have recently joined the Club. Due to high demand for places, R & P introduced an appointment system to provide more certainty, for people attending the range for the first time, that they will receive the opportunity to shoot on the night. Therefore please don’t forget to reserve your place first to avoid disappointment, via their website: www.wrpc.co.uk.
Chess: The Chess season has started again and the Club continues to have two teams in the Saturday Yorkshire leagues and an evening team in the Huddersfield league. The Junior membership continues to grow with over 20 members at the moment. Wakefield’s first team have started the new season very well having won their first two matches against a team from Leeds and the other from Bradford. The Club are looking to return to the top division again. Peter Shaw played in the British Championships during the Summer and scored a very creditable 5.5 out of 11 against Michael Adams (the best player in England and in the world’s top 20). Peter put up a good fight against him and only lost after a very long game. Club nights are on Mondays in the Bowls pavilion (6.30pm - 9.30pm) and everyone is welcome.
