Dover Squash and Racketball Club is 50 this year.  50 years, so many memories, great matches, leagues, competitions, tantrums, broken friendships, and friendships made.  Reflecting on my time at the Club, I marvel at our long survival in a Sport Centre. Looking at the Honours Board with names of so many dedicated players, I understand fully why we have existed for so long.

It all began in 1975 with a letter written by Norman Dixey (President) published in the Dover Express asking for people interested in forming a Squash Club to be based in the then-new Sports Centre being built in Dover.  James Roberts, Mike Chaston, Jonathon Sloggett, Rodney Galliers, and Norman Dixey answered the call, and a meeting was arranged at James’s house.

As a referee, Mary officiated at numerous world-ranking tournaments, including the Commonwealth Games and British Open, and was a solid supporter of the Kent Open Championships when it moved to Tunbridge Wells.
