We are also offering our Squash welcome to all members (normally only available for racquets members).  Squash is a great sport for so many reasons and whilst it is limited at the moment, it is still a great way to burn some calories and get the heart going.  Whether you’ve never tried before or keen to get back into it, the Squash welcome with Ed will assess your standard and help guide you towards the right activities for you within our Squash programme.  This can be arranged at a time convenient for you and Ed, please contact him at [email protected] to arrange.

Nutrition Services
