CVC Squash Academy -
continuing to run smoothly.
recently moved from a 6th form based enterprise to an inclusive yr7 to 6th form.
The struggle lies in getting non squash playing families to take squash more seriously. The school sessions are working hard to promote our sport and engage more girls
Getting girls involved is very difficult. There is a good set of girls coming to squash in the girls only sessions numbering around 15. The next step is to find a way to fully engage the girls so they become committed players. Watch this space!Slide8
CVC Squash Academy -
continuing to run smoothly.
There are more children moving through the system now and the process is slowly working as some of the more committed have moved away from recreational to more serious training.
The friendly matches and schools matches are helping.
The academy will continue to provide a squash experience for all ages and stages and maybe we can set more children up with a reason to stay and endow them with a passion that lasts.Slide9

Members SubscriptionsSlide34
Membership and guest fees
AGM 10 July 2017Slide35
Membership fees
Proposal to move to a direct debit model for payment of membership fees
The processing would be by Go
Cardless
, an established payment mechanism
Highly secure and members information would be safe
Fees to be paid in equal amounts over 12 months
Will still accept cash/
cheques
but strongly push direct debits
This spreads the cost for members rather than being a lump sum payment
Helps with member retentionCash allocation automated by our accounting systemSlide36
