Our annual Squash Waikato Awards Evening was held at Te Rapa Rugby Club on Saturday 4th November. What an awesome evening reflecting on 2023 and congratulating all of the nominees and award winners. A big thank you to everyone who helped set up for the evening (Nic Greene, Emma Millar & Melessa Henderson).

Thank you to Te Rapa Rugby Club for allowing us to host our awards evening there and also to our special guest, Northern Brave cricket player, Jess Watkin for an awesome Q & A session and presenting the awards.
