Hi - a short “puff” to a local sports club, for those who enjoy tennis, squash and even croquet. Sydenham Tennis Club (opposite St Cristophers Hospice in Lawrie Park Road) is a community club. Check out the web if you are interested. https://www.sydenham-tennis-squash-croquet-club.co.uk/

I have played squash long enough to recall the early 80’s when keen City folk played a game at lunch times. Then the gym craze decimated squash. At SLTCC there were 250+ members in the early 80’s, and then it declined to under 50. I’m happy to say that we are now back to 130 squash members, perhaps it has become more popular. Plus raqetball is played.

I’d like to play. I’m totally rubbish - is it fun for a beginner ?

Yes definitely.
Lovely crowd of people, will make you very welcome.
