The research presented in this report suggests that nearly 2.000.000 EU citizens in 1996 were enrolled in a distance training course and that a further 600.000 were enrolled in distance education courses at university level. Training in the EU is a complex field on which it is difficult to get accurate data. The effort to get data on distance training is even more challenging. This is a preliminary study, setting out markers in the field. All the data and conclusions in it will benefit from further analysis, clarification and correction. My thanks go to the many researchers in the field who agreed to be interviewed for the purposes of the study. Dozens of other experts made their time and expertise available to answer telephone calls, faxes or emails and my gratitude goes equally to them. -

Cuskelly Reaches Last 16 of PSA World Championships ASP Squashmedia .Com.Au a NEW DIRECTION the ASP Newsletter Has Moved to a Quarterly Edition
ASP CONGRATULATIONS ASP Cuskelly Reaches Last 16 of PSA World Championships ASP squashmedia .com.au A NEW DIRECTION The ASP Newsletter has moved to a Quarterly Edition. Sadly, there isn’t sufficient “Aussie” action to warrant a monthly publication. However, when the activity increases the publication will move back to being published monthly. Without sounding negative it is very hard to get excited about the Australian Squash Tour for 2019. Events are few and far between and there are too many CLOSED events. Some clubs/centres have simply not announced their event for 2019 ... please do so ASAP. It is alarming from this perspective ... players will now be forced to go overseas to chase world ranking points and competition. It’s now going to be an even slower climb up the ladder if you want to be a professional squash player based in Australia. Taking out closed events which attract minimal PSA points, so far the calendar for men is offering just 9 events! There are 7 x C5, one C10 and a C20 event (congratulations to the organisers of the Squash Melbourne event who are now offering an event with prizemoney greater than the Australian Open). For the women it is even worse 6 events! 4 x C5 and 2 x C10 events. Besides sponsorship another impact on whether a promoter decides to run an event or not is the currency exchange. Prizemoney is given out in US Dollars. Currently, the Aussie Dollar is low in comparison to the USD so there is an increased financial risk for promoters. -

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. -
“ ” Nick Matthew
FEATURE IN SEARCH OF GOLD Rod Gilmour speaks to triple world champion Nick Matthew about the remaining targets in his glittering career Fresh challenges are said to bring the best out of top players. And so it should be for Nick Matthew, version 2.0, who believes he has found his eureka moment as the great Briton aims to compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and bow out of the game with the Gold Coast sunshine on his back and gold around his neck. That’s the belief of a player who will be a few months shy of his 38th birthday when he bids to bag an incredible hat-trick of Commonwealth men’s singles titles. If he does get that far – and he admits he is only assessing his career every quarter following recent injuries – then you can be sure that he will still look and play like someone several years younger. “ The emphasis now is on skills, tactical and mental elements” Nick Matthew MATTHEW’S AIMS 2017 Compete in the World Championship in Manchester 2018 Compete in the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast 14 SQUASHPLAYER.CO.UK It would be a fitting end, of course, to a people I play, I could play to my strengths. “The court was hot and bouncy, it was 90 brilliant career.
