As the snowdrops start to emerge, our club members have also been springing into action

In early February, Finley, Oscar and Grace Brown took on the best of England at the 2025 English Junior Squash Championships in Nottingham, once against representing our club at the highest level nationally.

Court Sponsorship / Advertising Opportunities

We have a few spaces left - put your business up in lights!

Because we operate on a not for profit basis, every penny of the revenue we generate from the advertising boards on our four courts goes towards improvements to the club (such as the new gym equipment) and investment in our juniors, teams, and coaching programmes.

Advertising at the club is a great way to get your message in front of a wide audience of 425+ members and their guests, as well as visiting players from Leicestershire and Warwickshire. Added to this, these board designs are often featured in the background of photographs that are sent out over social media, the local press, and will be seen by the 900+ recipients of the email newsletter you are reading right now.

Knowing that many club members are business owners, we wanted to give you the first opportunity to take up one or more of these prime advertising spaces at the club, which help us to invest into club improvements that we all get to benefit from.

There is current availability on court 1 top and bottom positions, and court 2 top position.

Annual costs are:

  • £400 for a top panel
  • £250 for a bottom panel (the “tin”)
  • £600 for a top and a bottom panel

Prices above are per annum (no VAT due) but you'll pay less as our year runs until 31st December 2025. An additional printing cost will apply, and an (optional) design fee should you need help designing your banner advertisement.

We will operate this on a first-come-first-served basis, so please act fast to guarantee your space!

Club member Martin Hosmer of MK3 Design is helping us with the adverts so please contact him on martin@mk3design.co.uk initially with your enquiry and for latest availability.

Thank you for your interest!

Owen O'Hara Flying High!

Member of the O'Hara family squash dynasty of which we currently have four playing members at our club, Owen, is currently serving in the British Armed Forces. He recently played in a three-day RAF squash competition in Wolverhampton and came out as winning as the RAF Under 25’s 2025 Champion. A 3-0 victory in the final too, so well done Owen!

Big game for our Squash First Team

Tuesday 18th March, from 7:20pm

Looking to press on and challenge for the Leicestershire 1st Division title, our first team have a make-or-break game coming up in mid March against Market Harborough. 

Our opponents are likely to be fielding World Ranked #43, George Parker as part of their extremely strong line-up, so we'd really encourage your support. It's not often we get to see a player of such quality on our courts, so get involved!

Get involved in your club!

We want to remain a volunteer-run to keep your fees low. Can you dedicate an hour a week to help us?

Our club operates on a ‘Not For Profit’ basis, with most day-to-day running undertaken by volunteers and members of our committee. This support helps in keeping membership and court fees much lower than other squash clubs, with arguably superior facilities.

From time to time we will put the word out if we require the help in a particular department, but in general terms if you would like to get involved and offer a little of your free time to progress the club please send us a message here.
