Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'd like to check out the club to see if it's for me. How can I go about this?
A: You are more than welcome to visit the club to have a look around. Contact us by email or phone to arrange a date and time (or if you pop down on a weekday evening there will usually be someone on hand to show you around, even if you haven't pre-arranged your visit).

Q: Can I try squash and racketball without buying a membership?
A: Yes! You can pay a £5 a time guest fee to play as a non-member. This includes one court lights token (one token keeps the court lights on for 20 minutes and additional tokens can be bought for £2.50 each from the club shop or behind the bar).
Contact us by email or phone and we'll make sure someone is on hand to collect your fee, provide your court light token(s) and get you on court! We can also provide rackets and balls if you don't have your own yet.

Q: So why buy a membership?
A: Members don't have to pay a guest fee, and also receive a key fob which provides 24/7 access to the club's facilities. Members are also able to take part in the club's leagues, competitions and teams - which are all great ways of meeting new people.

Q: I don't have a playing partner. How can I try squash or racketball out?
A: Our club coach Pete Andrews can join you on court if you don't have a playing partner already. See our 'Contact' page to arrange a session. If you choose to join the club, you can meet new opponents through the club's internal leagues.

Q: Can I book a court?
A: There's no need to book - with four courts we are able to operate a first come first served system and it is rare you'd have to wait for a court to become available. Simply turn up and place your membership or guest card (the latter will be given to you in return for a £5 guest fee) in the slots outside your chosen court to claim it.

Q: How can I join the club and pay for membership?
A: New members will need to pay for their first annual membership by cash or card at the club. There is also a monthly direct debit option, which again we can set up at the club. Membership renewals can be done online and members are contacted directly with these details.

Q: My child is interested in playing squash. How can they get started?
A: We would recommend they join our popular Saturday Squash junior coaching sessions. Our doors will be open, your child does not need to be a member and equipment is provided. We just ask that they wear non-marking shoes please!

​
Q: Are your facilities open 24/7?
A: Members can access the facilities 24/7 using their member's key fob (for a one-off fee of £10). Guests are best off contacting us in advance to ensure they will be able to access the club when they are planning to visit (although weekday evenings are usually fine).

Q: I have a question which isn't answered here?
A: No worries! Contact us with any questions you may have and we'll be happy to help.
