Heswall Squash Club Committee Members 2016 - 2019 season
Club President: Clare Wilson
Despite having achieved considerable critical acclaim during the mid 1990s as one fifth of the original "Spice Girls" line up, Clare turned her back on the music industry just months before they signed to Virgin Records & released their debut album.
Aptly named "Social Spice", Clare has done much to promote social events at the Club over the years yet now, undeterred, picks up the baton of Club President.
"Dealing with great talent, huge egos, tantrums, laughter & tears reminds me so much of the days in the band" says Clare when referring to the complex mix of personalities on the Club committee.
One thing remains certain though & it's that Clare will always tell you what she wants, what she really, really wants.

Club Treasurer: Paulene Jones
An enigma.
Little is known of Paulene's youth although it's rumoured she spent many years living in a "kibbutz" style commune in Marrakesh & devoted her time to "enlightenment" & not just opening the "doors of perception" but literally tearing them down.
Clearly, I know nothing about Paulene & hope that she isn't too upset sold she ever read this bio.

Membership Secretary: Julie "Jules" Kennedy
"Membership, membership, membership" is Jules mantra.
Jules is relentless in her mission to make HSRC the finest, best subscribed Squash club in the whole of Heswall.
She lives and breaths all aspects of membership: counting members, signing up new ones, chasing outstanding membership fees and she does all this with a smile - a true legend!

Club Secretary: Richard Brown
It's fair to say that, what * doesn't know about Ecological divergence combined with ancient allopatry in lizard populations from small volcanic islands, isn't worth knowing.
Some would say it's all just a ruse for frequent "research" trips to far flung and, more often than not, sunnier climes. However, we are assured that such depth of knowledge can and will be transferred into the equally rarefied existence of the HSRC Club Secretary.
Like a lizard, the Club Sec must take the heat, change colour to fit with the prevailing socio-economic drifts of the Club membership and develop a particularly thick skin.
Plus, his ability to ability to use long words, in the proper context and with the correct punctuation are invaluable skills.

Bar & Function Room Manager: John Williams
"The drinks are on me!" has long been John's familiar catch phrase and of course, he's one of the best loved characters at HSRC.
Having been a keen squash player and member of the Club for literally "donkey's years", there's nothing John doesn't know about managing the bar.
His keen senses and intuition help him judge which social functions at Heswall scream out for "salted peanuts" and which require the more sophisticated "dry roast".
Every social function at Heswall runs smoothly thanks to John.

Ladies' Teams Holistic Healer: Susana Simoes
Caring, kind & compassionate. Just a few of the words used to describe Susana.
The Ladies of the Ladies' Teams will, literally, follow her anywhere.
Of course, this could just be a coincidence as Susana, a self proclaimed foodie, is the main supplier of cake & other yummy items to her adoring team players.
As the number of Lady Squash players goes from strength to strength at Heswall, Susana will help steer them to great success in the NW Counties Squash Leagues.

Men's Teams Therapist: Mark Griffiths
With influences as diverse as Blake and Buckminster Fuller, Mark creates new tensions, in a squash related metaphysic, which are both opaque and transparent.
Ever since he was a baby he has been fascinated by the endless oscillation of the human condition. What starts out as hope soon becomes manipulated into a manifesto of lust, leaving only a sense of decadence and the chance of a new synthesis.
As momentary replicas become transformed through emergent and diverse practice, the Mens' Teams he so expertly manages are left with an insight into the outposts of not only squash but the very nature our culture.

Junior Squash Development Guru: An important role waiting to be filled...
The Future Of Squash, quite literally.
Dealing with raging hormones, insecurities, tantrums, mood swings & very often, tears is probably the hardest but most rewarding job in the Club but if the prospect of dealing with the Mens' Teams is too much the job of mentoring & developing or young players may be for you..
Please contact the Committee if you feel that you can help.

Marketing & PR Guru: Steve Batty
The Gandalf of Marketing.
Steve even has the pointy hat to go with such a prestige title although, he draws the line at growing a beard.
Fortunately, Steve is too busy to write copy so it has fallen to me, the humble site editor to write about SB. Experienced, knowledgeable & occasionally likeable, Steve's marketing background is unrivalled & it's great for the Club to have him on board.
Hopefully, if he & Bryan will ever stop talking about sport, then the Club could be poised on the brink of new, exciting & possibly even, great things!

If you've any nice comments or suggestions regarding the website...
Website tinkerer: Stephen Dodd
The boy that never grew up.
Steve spends most of his time taking photographs (it's his job, yes, who'd thought he has a job?) & trying to avoid anything of a serious or important nature, especially: economics, politics, religion & football (especially. especially football...)
He'll forget your name, your birthday & never buy you flowers.
He loves nothing better the being locked in a small room with an Apple Mac, a copious supply of McDonalds coffee, Timothy Taylor's Landlord and/or Macallan (or whiskey of any description TBH) & a family size bag of Twiglets.
