Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.

  • History of the Victorian Amateur/Open Squash Championships
    HISTORY OF THE VICTORIAN AMATEUR/OPEN SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS AUTHOR/RESEARCHER: PAUL VEAR INTRODUCTION Victoria and Australia’s first squash courts were built at the Melbourne Club, located at 36 Collins Street, Melbourne in 1913, when their existing racquets court was divided to create two squash courts. Victoria’s first commercial court was built in the Bjelke Petersen Physical Culture Centre( the base for Gordon Watson) at 360 Lt. Collins St, in1926, and St. Kilda( the base for Betty Meagher and Val Watts), was the first public centre( 3 courts), built in Canterbury Rd, around 1930. As of 2014, the oldest existing court, built in 1935, is at the Sandringham Club, where Geoff Hunt learnt his trade. From its beginnings in Victoria, the game remained predominantly in men’s clubs with one to two courts until the early sixties. In 1934 the Australian Squash Rackets Association (ASRA) was formed, based in Victoria, with its Victorian equivalent, the Squash Rackets Association of Victoria (SRAV), commencing in 1937. On 24th June 1936 the inaugural weekly Men’s interclub pennant competition commenced with teams from six clubs competing. The Women’s equivalent started in 1947 comprising four teams. During 1952 the Australian Women’s Squash Rackets Association (AWSRA), and the Victorian Women’s Squash Rackets Association (VWSRA), were formed. In 1963 the Albert Park Squash Centre opened, becoming the headquarters for the sport and the SRAV; 13 years later under the guiding forces of Sid Myers and Trish Hackett(nee Hunt), the Women’ Association amalgamated with the SRAV to form the Victorian Squash Rackets Association(VSRA), with its inaugural meeting being held in November 1976.
