VSL SURVEY in advance of 2014 AGM
Filed Under AGM, Survey | Comments Off on VSL SURVEY in advance of 2014 AGM
The goal of the VSL is to ensure that the wishes of the membership are reflected in the rules. In order to effectively gather this information we rely on surveys and the membership’s participation in them.
There is a motion on the 2014 AGM agenda, regarding rule 3.1.1, which suggests a reduction in the numbers of players on WOMEN’S Division teams from 5 to 4. (NOTE: There is no motion for a similar switch in the OPEN divisions but we are polling to see if there is support for it.)
Rule changes such as these are prompted by suggestions from players or board members and then followed up with a league-wide survey. If there is substantial support for the suggested change, a motion will be presented for voting at the AGM. It is therefore very important that you participate in this brief, three question, survey as the outcome may have significant impact on league play. Captains should ensure that their entire team takes a moment to answer the survey in order to let the board know whether you are in support of such a change.
The deadline to complete the survey is April 21st and the results will be presented at the 2014 AGM on Saturday, April 26th, at 3pm at the Vancouver Racquets Club.
LINK TO SURVEY: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5WN5Q9J
Thank you for participating and helping to improve your league!

RIP Paul Marley
Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off on RIP Paul Marley
It is with a heavy heart that we inform the Squash Community that we have lost one of the great ones this week. After an eighteen month battle with cancer, Paul Marley passed away peacefully on Thursday afternoon. The family will be hosting: “A Celebration of Life” at the Evergreen Squash Club on Saturday, March 15 at 4 pm.
Paul’s passing leaves a big hole in squash both within British Columbia and the world. Paul was the ultimate positive force anytime he was near a squash court. From playing in various Masters Championships to bringing squash players to BC from all over the world, his incredible enthusiasm for the sport of squash will be remembered worldwide.
