Return of Competitive Squash July 2021

Dear Dean member, 
The club committee is delighted to confirm that competitive squash is now allowed as of tomorrow, 19 July.We now invite those squash members whose membership has been held in abeyance over the last year or more, to rejoin and make use of the squash courts.  You will have received a recent message from membermojo indicating that your membership will be expiring shortly, and there is a link there to enable you to log in and rejoin.  
Things are not completely normal; the attached documents describing how we would like members to use the facility are in line with the club’s risk assessment and guidance from Scottish Squash.  We would be grateful if you could comply. 
Ron anticipates running a new round of squash minileagues from around 09 August, all being well.
Any questions about use of the squash courts or the clubhouse, please direct to Michael or Jerry
Any questions about renewing membership, or from other members wishing to amend their existing membership to include squash to me please
Any questions about squash mini leagues to Ron please.
cheers, David

New WordPress theme trial

The Dean club website uses a WordPress theme which was created in 2013 & can’t be changed easily by anyone but the original developer. In addition, the recent implementation of a new SSL certificate, to make the website more secure, seems to have blocked the main banner photo of the tennis courts. This photo was out of date (old courts), was extremely tricky to update & had to be shown on each page. So, I’d like to try out this new WordPress theme in the hope that it renders better & on mobile phones as well as desktops and tablets. If there are any problems that I can’t fix or a sufficient number of folk really don’t like it then I can revert to the old theme or try something else! Best Wishes, Patrick Jones
