The Newcastle Junior open is being held at Northern squash club on the weekend of February 13th & 14th. There will be over 100 boys and girls between 8 and 18 years old. It is a great opportunity for our best juniors to pit themselves against the top players from around the region. Come down to the club to watch. The matches are high in quality. Members willing to help out with refereeing matches would be most welcome. Please contact Richard Vitty if you feel able to give up a couple of hours on either day. The tournament is being sponsored for the fourth year running by local solicitors Quality Solicitors Lawson and Thompson. They have offices in Bedlington, Ashington and Blyth and are keen to help club members, families and friends with their legal problems when they arise.

Partner in the firm and club member Tim Barker specialises in family work and also regularly represents clients in the criminal courts and deals with conveyancing and wills and probate. Tim has already prepared wills and done conveyancing for a number of club members. H e regularly also donates afree will to various club fund raising raffles as a prize!!. Feel free to approach Tim at the club or give him a ring on 01670 530700. He promises a 20% discount for club members and their families on any wills prepared by him. 10% discount on conveyancing fees.
Tim takes the view that local businesses should try to put something back into the community where possible and given that his two daughters will be entering the tournament as well as many other local juniors, it is well worthwhile supporting the club, and them, where possible. Tim will be around for much of the weekend. Feel free to chat to him informally then, though not when the girls are playing!!
