Squash Australia Membership Renewal Email
You may have recently received an email from Squash Australia regarding the renewal of your membership for the 2024/2025 season, which may have caused some confusion by suggesting memberships are incomplete.
Rest assured; all of our members are fully financial. The competition fees you paid in June/July for the Spring Pennant 2024 included your Squash Australia & Squash NSW membership fees, which have already been processed.
I am following up with Squash Australia to resolve the confusion and will keep you updated. There is no action required from you at this time.

WLSC 2025 Calendar of Events
Our committee is busy planning the WLSC 2025 Calendar, which will include social events, coaching clinics, inter-club challenges, presentation nights, meetings and more.
We are just waiting on Squash Australia, Squash NSW, and NSW Squash Masters Association to finalize their schedules before we lock in our dates but we anticipate the WLSC 2025 Calendar will be released by mid to late November.
In 2024, we had Club Legend Rob Spooner feature on the cover. So, who will feature in the 2025 calendar? I can give you a clue, it’s some who’s younger than Rob. Stay tuned for the big reveal coming soon!
