Regulatory Burden Review - Have your say! The Government has asked CCPR to conduct a review into regulatory burdens affecting sports clubs. They are going to dig down into the red tape and bureaucratic burdens which prevent you from deliv- ering sport and generally drive you mad. They want to know about the red tape that tangles you up at your sports club. Give them your views via their short online survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RBR - everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win football tickets for England v France at Wembley on November 17 or Rugby tickets to see Scotland v South Africa at Murrayfield on No- vember 20! Once they know more about the burdens affecting sports clubs (thanks to your help!) they will look to make suggestions on how they can improve the situation for voluntary sports clubs. The findings will be presented to the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, in February 2011 What else are they doing to gather evidence? Regulatory burdens is a fairly broad topic so to make sure they unpick it properly they are gathering information in all sorts of ways: • Sending out postcards to sports clubs for a straw poll response on the top three burdens, • Holding workshops to discuss different key burdens • Inviting experts to speak with them • Receiving paper submissions • Compiling case studies and visiting clubs • And, as mentioned above conducting their quick online survey which is a great place to have a good old moan about red tape - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RBR If you would like to know more about the review or have any questions, please contact Syann Cox on 020 7976 3922 ( [email protected] ) Get Active London Get Active London is an exciting project promoted by the PRO-ACTIVE London Partnerships to de- velop an online one stop shop of all the sport and physical activity clubs, venues and activities across London. The site, backed by the Mayor of London as part of the 2012 Sport Legacy Plan, is www.getactivelondon.com and is going live soon. The aim is to get more Londoners active and help clubs increase their memberships, and help make activities and events a success. All of this is free to both clubs and the Londoners who access the in- formation. Clubs will be able to access and update their information at the touch of a button making sure that it is constantly up to date. Let’s try to get as many squash and racketball clubs on there as possible! 3 ESR Membership Activation England Squash and Racketball Membership Activation Table (data extracted November 12 th 2010) The table below shows ESR activation numbers associated with clubs in the London and South East Region.

About 6 years ago Fiona Western joined the Sussex County Committee to represent Ladies squash interests on the committee. From the moment she joined Fiona has worked tirelessly for the cause of ladies squash and racketball in the county. She has run the County Leagues and knock out competitions with passion and enthusiasm. Often frustrated by apathy and a deep concern for the decline in playing numbers Fiona has always found ways to encour- age participation and maintain interest. The state of ladies squash in the county would be the poorer but for Fiona’s efforts. Since joining the county committee Fiona contribution to the development of squash in Sussex goes way beyond her commitment to the Ladies leagues. Fiona comes from a sporting family and for many years has represented the Dunnings Mill Club with distinction. She is now the Secretary of the Dunnings Mill Squash and Racketball club and is playing her part in helping the club with its plans to relocate to East Grinstead. Aside from her County League responsibilities Fiona has involved herself with the administration of the County junior teams and has driven hun- dreds of miles taking juniors to inter county matches all over the country. She has also made significant contribu- tions to many other aspects of Sussex squash – too many to mention. All this and a day job as well!! Quite apart from her interests in County affairs Fiona has devoted time and energy to the development of her son Cameron’s emerging squash career. As a Nationally ranked junior great things can be expected of him in the future. Sussex squash has a lot to thank Fiona for. She richly deserves the honour of Volunteer of the Month. Paul Millman (Chair of Sussex SRA) From the Dunnings side I would say Fiona is always at hand to give help in any way she can. Fiona has sponsored/ help run tournaments which were aimed at encouraging juniors to play in teams with adults. She was a key member of the team in gaining our club charter which you will be aware is heavily sided towards development of the club starting with the junior section. This also involved attending courses in child protection, equity for all etc She has always supported other parents with transportation to and from tournaments all over the country as well as the county. She is also very well known around the county helping out at tournaments for juniors and adults and also running the ladies section. Having a son climbing up the junior county rankings and the national junior circuit has also helped her strive for im- provements in the junior county development plan from Club to county, county to regional level. She is a great asset to our club, other clubs and the county. Giles Cowdell (Dunnings Mill Squash Club) Fiona is a star - she turns up and supports our matches if she's not playing, she reminds me to take the balls and the marking sheets and then brings spare ones just in case I forget!! She marks matches, fills in the scores and generally does everything to try and keep Dunnings and Ladies Sussex Squash going. In addition to all this, she very often cooks our team, and their other halves dinner - all above and beyond the call of duty!!! Nicola Cowdell (Dunnings Mill Squash Club) I think based on the fact she gave up two weekends almost back to back shows that she has great commitment to Sussex Squash and is prepared to ensure it thrives where ever possible. When this is also looked at in context with her work on the ladies league she is a credit to the county as many people would have thrown in the towel by now, but her determination has kept the ladies league/game alive. Simon Tunley (Sussex SRA Secretary) Sussex Squash is very close to my heart – my son Cameron has had a huge amount from County Training and playing for his County and I have met a lot of lovely people, juniors, coaches, parents and other members of the SSRA committee through my involvement. Sussex Squash has a lot to offer with an excellent County training Struc- ture and I am proud to be part of it! Fiona Western Congratulations and thank you Fiona! ‘Volunteers do a great job and really are the backbone of squash.

  • Is England's Golden Age Nearly Over?
    FEATURE Is England’s golden age nearly over? Richard Eaton investigates whether England will be able to continue their position as one of squash’s superpowers when the current crop of world-class players retire Massaro is 29, Alison Waters 29 and Jenny Duncalf 30. Age affects people differently, so it would be silly to downplay any of them. But Matthew's words reverberate. They won't be here for ever. Moreover, Emily Whitlock, aged 19 and just outside the world's top 20, looks like the only prospect good enough to reach the top. Why, with so much Lottery funding, do England not have many potential replacements? Egypt have. Other questions are asked about England's system. Is it flexible enough to accommodate outsiders? Has it adversely affected the coaching market? Does it put enough resources into talent identification? Criticism can be helpful, but it can also be a hindrance to a governing body trying to cope with a changing world. They need to stay clear about their goals and methods, and maintain faith through setbacks. Maintaining morale thus becomes crucial. England Squash and Racketball (ESR) are operating amidst fewer clubs, fewer participants, fewer coaches and significantly fewer talented young players, particularly women, than 20 years ago. This is not easy. Nevertheless, they still have the world's best system,according to Britain's Nick Matthew first male world champion, Peter Nicol. “It was brilliant,” he said. He even abandoned his Scottish squash-playing loyalties to join it. Without that, he could not have extended his reign as world no.1 to a remarkable 60 months.
