Please join me in wishing my good friend and valued colleague, Chris Rutgers, an enjoyable and productive retirement. Yes, after 30 years with The Chatham Club, Chris is stepping down as General Manager. We all are extremely grateful to her for expertly overseeing the Club's continued growth, in both size and quality. Fortunately, she has agreed to continue with some administrative duties on a part-time basis, which means you may still be seeing her around the Club.
As the new General Manager, I am looking forward to meeting and interacting with members who don't already know me from my 20 years as a Personal Trainer at the Club. Everyone should feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Please read on to learn about other additions to management and staff that we are sure will help strengthen our services to members and commitment to the community.
Also in this issue, you will find information on special summer-time programs for our young members, including fitness, sports training and squash opportunities.
We've brought back the ever-popular "Travels with The Chatham Club Bag," and are once again sponsoring the StreetSquash Newark Brick City Cup, a truly worthwhile fundraiser and fun event.
In good health,
Darren Worts

Stretching Room
Please remember that the Stretching Room is a quiet space.
We ask that you keep your voices low, and your music doesn't escape your headphones. We allocated this area of the Club to begin or end your workout with a quiet place to stretch and reflect.
Recently, it has been brought to our attention that members are using the stretching room to exercise in. We realize that during certain times of the day the Club is busy, and it may be difficult to find an area to work out alone. However, the stretching room was not intended to be an extension of the fitness floor.
Please be considerate of your fellow members and keep your workouts to the fitness floor, your voice and personal music low.

What Our Staff and Members Have Been Doing
3-Days at the Fair
May 15th - 21st, 2017
Congratulations to Darren and Mary Worts!
3-Days at the Fair is a timed race around a
1-mile loop. It is t
he East Coast's only 72-hour race. The race is not about speed, but rather endurance.
Darren placed 1st in the 72-hour event, logging 251 miles. Mary placed 1st in the 12-hour event with 54 miles.
Each runner who achieves 1,500 miles in their lifetime is awarded an actual brick with their name engraved on it. A matching brick is placed on the race course and remains there in perpetuity. The runner must carry their own brick around the loop after their 1,499th lap, bringing it back to the start when they complete their 1,500th mile.
Congratulations again to Darren on his lifetime achievement award. Darren has competed every year since
the
race
began in 2010.

Adult Squash
For an Amazing Workout, Give Squash a Try...
Squash is very much like tennis and paddle, except that you'll do a lot more running after the much less bouncy squash ball. Don't expect the ball to come back to you; you'll have to go to it!
You can get started with a private session or a class, with one of our world-class professionals.
They can loan you equipment, and get you playing and having fun, all while having the workout of your life.
For more information.
Adult All-Levels Workshops w/ Colin White
Saturday, 8:00 - 9:00am
Members $35. Non-members $45.
