Nigeria’s only exclusive squash club, the O’Trafford Club, Ikoyi, will on January 29 honour Barrister Cyril Ayemere for his outstanding contributions to the evolvement of the club as a veritable platform for competitive sport, social interaction and intellectual discourse.

The dinner, slated for the eve of the Club’s 2015 Annual General Meeting, is scheduled to hold at the Lagos Yachts Club, Marina, with active and retired squash players and their spouses from the professional cadre and recreational clubs expected to attend.

Variously dubbed “Bohemian”, “Eclectic” etc., the evening promises to be fun-filled with members vowing to stop at nothing to show appreciation to Ayemere for his diligence and dedication in running the Club’s secretariat since inception.

At an informal gathering after the usual Sunday games, members praised Ayemere to no end with chairman Larry Ettah leading the pack. He was effusive with adulation for the guy he described as the engine room of various endeavours in the Club since it was founded.
