2023 Party planning – Morris Apawamis squash Doubles tournament –

Planning for 2023 Party

“party people” will walk over ..

people walk back and forth to watch Morris squash matches.? like the old days

Location: 65 highland Rd Rye NY 10580 across the street next door to Apawamis club

33 Morris Invitational – exact 2023 date is TBD

think this is 33rd Morris Invitational Doubles event

players and spectators alike join in on the festivities at this sought-out member-member/member-guest squash event.

The Morris Doubles Tournament is pretty close to a Pro-Am event.

Many of the players have no idea who Ned Morris was. companion event for spectators and “veteran players”.

We hope anyone who ever played squash doubles with Ned Morris might show up. We named this companion event The”hardball” party. players in recent have no idea who Ned Morris was.

We are looking for all the old narrow court hardball players from the Union Club in NYC, Rockaway Hunting Club in Cedarhurst LI NY, Round Hill Club in Greenwich CT and the Saucon Valley Club in Bethlehem PA, Some Philly, Canadian and Pittsburgh squash players have been invited.

post a confirmed “I’ll be there guest list”.

We May use Evite

Need a little help to set up “private” social feeds…Instagram, Facebook, TikTok. Twitter pages or group for this event.

Want to be careful with public social feeds. Want to make it easy if anyone has old pictures to post.

Formal Paperless Post or Evite invitations –

some people are uncomfortable “stopping by” and would prefer a formal invitation. This was a mistake. people want to be able to see who else is invited and who is coming and who has declined and why.

The “party people” who show up will self select.

Party people are the most important element to any social gathering. The right people are always the most important indicator of a successful party. People are more important than food or drinks.

Food- party will be catered by Milton Point Provisions. the food will be great- Please click this link to drive traffic to Monty’s web site and see the menu.

The inspiration for this Party is the 1981 National Mixed Doubles official US Squash Association party. What made that party a success was Larry Hilbert the Apawamis Pro moved the National Mixed event from the Club to 65 Highland.

We think lots of folks who played in that event might show up those still alive

We do not think that Peter Briggs played this event?

We have also invited all former winners of the Morris tournamnet

if you “own wood” are a plank owner you are invited
