🏆 Celebrating our Squash Legend, Barry Rooney! 🏆

A huge congratulations to Hokitika’s very own Barry Rooney, who was officially recognised and honoured at the Canterbury Squash Foundation Legends Awards 2026.

Barry, your decades of dedication—30+ years on committee, decades as Vice President, running the Hokitika Open for 15 years, and 46 years playing—make this award so thoroughly deserved. You are a true legend of our club and community! 👏🔥

Of course, the celebrations wouldn't be complete without a bit of post-match analysis off the court. Swipe to see Mark John inspecting the w**e glasses with intense scientific precision. MJ, we need to know: is the glass half full, half empty, or are you just trying to work out where the rest of the bottle went? 🧐🍷😂

Massive congratulations again, Barry—an absolute legend on and off the court! 🔴⚪🖤

Court Restoration Complete! 🎉💥

To celebrate, two local legends stepped on court to carry on their 35-year battle. As you can see, the official "signature of approval" has already been left right on the brand-new wall! ✍️

Sign-off is sealed, both racquets (barely) survived, and the court is ready for action. Big thanks to everyone who helped bring this project together—come down and check it out! 🏆

Did someone say final touches? 😉

The paint rollers have been put away, the paper cover is being cleared out (with a little help from our star cleanup crew 📦), and the transformation is almost complete!

Next up: the lines. As soon as those go down, the court is officially locked, loaded, and ready for play. ⚡

Keep your eyes on our page over the next few days—you won't want to miss the final reveal! 🙌

🎉 THE WAIT IS OVER! 🎉

The wait was worth it—our interior makeover is complete, and the club is officially OPEN! 🙌✨

Check out these before and after photos to see the transformation:

🎨 Fresh paint job throughout, trading in the old pink walls for a crisp, modern finish!

💡 Upgraded lighting for a much brighter, cleaner vibe!

A project like this wouldn't have been possible without the amazing support of our local business sponsors who stepped up to help make this happen.

We are so grateful for your backing—keep an eye out for upcoming posts where we’ll be highlighting these legends! 🤝🌟

Come down and check out the fresh new look! 🛠️

⚠️ Note: The facility is fully open, except for Court 1, which is still undergoing renovations and will remain closed a little longer. We appreciate your patience while we wrap up the final touches!

See you on the courts!

🛠️ RENOVATION UPDATE! 🛠️

Things are moving fast at the Hokitika Squash Club, and the place is really starting to transform!

Here is a quick look at what’s been happening behind the scenes this week:

Court 1: has been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for sealing and paint as soon as it arrives! The floor also had a quick sand, its come up like new.

The Banister: Looking fantastic with a fresh coat of paint! 🖌️ Plus a new top board.

Club Rooms: The interior is really taking shape thanks to Terence from TA Painting, who kicked off work last week. A big shoutout for the great work!

⚠️ Facility Status & Reopening Info:

The club remains closed for now while renovations continue. We hope to welcome everyone back on Monday the 5th! 🤞

Please note: Court 1 will remain closed for at least another fortnight while we finish sealing and painting the walls/ceiling.

The countdown is officially on until we reopen—we can’t wait to see you all back on the court! 🙌
