Other Business –
Discussion took place regarding the new England Squash membership. Gerard and Nigel explained how the County Levy was to be achieved and how it was then spent and how England Squash aim to collect their membership. Information is being issued from the Governing Body. There was concern that costs would go up but Gerard did not think so. Also, concern was expressed about Clubs who did not join ES and the simple answer was they would not be able to play other than within their clubs and each other. Individuals only have to register once. A poll was taken to give the committee an idea on what type of membership a club might adopt
