Whilst it is getting colder out there, it's getting warmer on the courts! 4 victories out of 4 matches. Putting the SAC at the top of the league! What a start from the team! 
We also want to reiterate our invitation to all SAC members for our "Squash afternoon Challenge" on Saturday, 6 December. It will be an occasion for squash players of all levels to participate and meet some of the SAC squash (Bomb) Squad and play some fun squash formats!  Play to start from 2 pm.

See you on the courts!

image

The next Little Musicians/Petits Musiciens session will be on Sunday, 14 December, from 11 am to 12:30 pm, with Breakfast from 11 am to 2 pm.
Sign up using this HelloAsso link. Don't forget that if a child is signed up for Breakfast/Brunch together with a parent, they have free access to the 1.5-hour class. If you don’t want to sign up for breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class. It is easier and cheaper if you reserve your place before Friday evening. Prices are more expensive at the bar on the day, and you risk the class being full.
