It occurred to me the other day - when my drive needed a major snow-clearance job and the boot of my car needed to carry essentials such as a spade, a box of grit and a blanket – how lucky I was to be able to look forward to a game of squash.

1 court booked + 1 other player = 1 hour of fun.
I know there are a number of indoor tennis courts about in the country, but not that many; the tennis club I play at in Frimley – no indoor courts – had had no tennis for nearly three weeks.

Christmas is now past and I read that in the country as a whole we Brits will have put on some 68,000 tons of weight over the holiday period!
Only a small share of that will apply to us squash players because we keep on playing through all weathers and have a huge amount of fun doing it.
Quite apart from our own superb Tournament, there are now five Regional Tournaments, the National, the British Closed and the European for those keen on competition, whatever our age.

I make no apology therefore, for again encouraging you to take part in our Friendly Matches and if possible, to offer to run one at your local club which we could add to our fixture list. They are such fun evenings.
Just get in touch with Tony Seare and let him know date, time and venue.

I wish you all a very happy and active New Year.
