OVER the past month I have been fortunate enough to take part in high quality squash coaching at the Connaught club off Rangers Road.

Myself and several other school colleagues only paid £5 for the five-week course – this ridiculously cheap price was down to the generosity of the Jack Petchey Foundation which heavily subsidised this and many other school activities.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the chance to learn this minority sport and would recommend that everyone give it a go, no matter what level of skill you show you will enjoy yourself. The Connaught Club is easily accessible to citizens of Chingford, it is a good opportunity to utilise great facilities on your doorstep.

If you are in school and are interested in receiving squash coaching enquire to Mr Leadon as to if and when the next block of squash coaching is taking place, or if you would prefer, you could make your way straight to the Connaught club and ask for Dave or, if he is unavailable, ask in the office as to when there are lessons happening.

The perfect way to keep fit, enjoy yourself and have a new experience.

Get down to a squash club and get playing.
