On March 8th, 2014, seven Jesters (Allan Brown, John Hungerford, Chris Harley, Ryan Haider, Mark Ridgeway, Morgan Latremouille and Hugh Woolley) traveled to Victoria for a day of squash and a wonderful dinner.
Victoria had a great turn out. Mike Greenwood stopped by to watch the matches but unfortunately couldn’t make dinner (or was too paranoid to show-up when he heard that Hungie was planning a roast of Mike’s antics on the infamous BC Chinooks squash tours of Kenya and Thailand). Thanks to Phil Green, Stu Dixon, George Morfitt, John Roche, Scott MacInnis, Brian MaGaw and Ben Uliana for their hospitality. Unfortunately, Gerry Poulton was unable to attend as he was in Virginia defending his US National squash crown.
John and Allan provided an update on Jesters activities especially their efforts concerning assisting university squash.
It was great to get the insight of the Victoria Jesters and hopefully we can continue to work together to further squash in our province. In this regard, we are going to investigate the possibility of a Jesters tour to play matches against the three Vancouver Island private schools that have their own squash courts (SMUS, Brentwood and Shawinigan Lake).
The Victoria Jesters were asked to select a representative to liaise with the Vancouver Jesters on a more regular basis.
Thanks to John Hungerford and Phil Green for making this event possible.
