Racketball Masters Event - Whitecraigs - 23 February

I’m delighted to announce that ‘Optical Express’ have partnered with Racketball Around Scotland to sponsor the inaugural Masters Competition on 23 February at Whitecraigs LT&SC in Newton Mearns, Glasgow.

Optical Express is the UK’s No.1 provider of laser eye surgery and they could be inundated with bookings if some of the player’s requests to the ref were to be taken seriously! But whether it’s glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses or eye tests you may need to improve your refereeing or racketball skills, Optical Express will help you out wherever you play.

If you’d like to play in the tournament then please e-mail me at j.broadberry@virgin.net or download the attached entry form.
