It’s been a great year for squash at the Club with some fantastic achievements across the board. The courts have had a complete makeover with the six-times ladies world champion and ex-member, Sarah Fitzgerald returning to play our Rick Weatherall to mark the occasion. Not yet played on our new courts? How about a coaching session with Luke Gojnic, joining our league or even having a knock-about with a friend?
