Once again, it has been a busy time since our last newsletter, and here is a summary of the most important news items from the Club …
England Squash Awards 2023
It was not to be for us in the England Squash Club/Venue of the Year Award category but congratulations to Abbeydale Squash & Fitness, based in Sheffield, on winning the award.
We remain proud of all we have achieved to grow squash participation in Lichfield over recent times and gaining recognition of that through being shortlisted was a great achievement in itself. Our work continues ...

Membership update
Our membership continues to grow unabated, with total membership now standing at 130. What is particularly pleasing is the number of new members who are either new to squash or returning to the sport after a break. This bodes well for the future and shows that the sport is on the comeback trail.
Welcome to the Club all recently joined players and long may this trend continue.

We were delighted to celebrate the success of our Junior Academy with a fun presentation morning on Saturday 20th April.
We are proud of this group of players, who've all shown great commitment and improvement over the course of the 6 weeks of sessions. Thanks again to our sponsors, Andrew Downing-Booth Estate Agents, and it was great to see owner Andrew there to present the medals.

Team Lichfield at the British Open Squash Championships
#TeamLichfield enjoyed some thrilling squash action on day 1 of the British Open Squash 2024 at the Birmingham Rep Theatre. 12 of us were in attendance, including Lucasz and his daughter Mia, who had made a fantastic banner to advertise the Club!
In addition, a smaller group attended the Quarter Finals last Thursday. The Club Chairman could be seen on the big screen and SquashTV coverage a few times, trying to not influence the ref with his decisions!
