Closure of Courts 3 & 4

 

The Canberra Tradesmen's Union Club, as owners of the squash courts building, recently announced its decision to close courts 3 and 4 to allow the gym to be expanded.

Work has since commenced on the expansion.

Immediately following the announcement, members of the Dickson Squash Club committee, along with Gary Hampson, President of Squash ACT, met to discuss the issues arising, including:

·        

whether anything could be done to prevent the closure of the two courts (we quickly decided that to attempt to do so would be a waste of time and possibly counterproductive);

·        

managing the disruption to pennant, masters and women’s competitions;

·        

improving the quality of remaining courts;

·        

seeking assurance about the future of the remaining courts.

As such, we are seeking to discuss these issues with the Tradies as a matter of priority.

We will keep members updated as further information becomes available.
