Bishop’s Stortford 5th April 2007: UK Squash Academy Directors Paul Selby and John Milton are happy to be working with Jason Foster manager of Bishop’s Stortford Squash Club and BAA London Stansted to bring a fantastic new event to this part of England. The event will feature at the top end a PSA 1 star event which will give people in this area a chance to witness professional squash being played in their own area, attracting players from all parts of the world. In tandem with this will be a Festival of Squash that will include Junior events run throughout the week for all age groups from Under 11’s up to Under 19’s and a chance also for Men and Women players to enter and play in their own tournament alongside some of the worlds top players. Club Manager Jason Foster who is co promoting this event said yesterday. “This is a fantastic opportunity for Bishop’s Stortford Squash Club to host such a wonderful Festival that will include all levels of ability in our sport, this is something our club always strives to provide our members. It is great that a company like BAA London Stansted wish to be associated with this event. We are happy that England Squash has come on board with this project and is helping us to take Squash to the local schools in the area which will culminate in bringing the children to the club during Festival week to participate in some coaching workshops being run by the UK Squash Academy. Paul and John have been working hard during the last year to increase the amount of young aspiring players to join and train with their Academy and we felt it was good to be associated with this. We are looking forward to a tremendous week of Squash and I am sure everyone involved either as a player of spectator will hopefully go away from the event completely Squashed out.”
