Statement from the Chairman of
Norfolk Squash Rackets Association
At its meeting on 30th October the Executive Committee of Norfolk Squash Rackets Association (NSRA) resolved to disband Norfolk Junior Squash (NJS), which operates as a sub-committee, and take overall control of junior squash activities in the county.
It takes this decision with reluctance, recognising the good work that NJS has carried out in the county over many years. However, the problems that have arisen within NJS in recent years, culminating in the resignation of its Chairman this October, have resulted in an unworkable situation within NJS as it stands.
Junior squad managers will be asked to continue in their current roles and, for the purposes of maintaining legal responsibilities and effective financial management, the Child Protection Officer and Treasurer from NJS will be co-opted onto the NSRA Executive Committee. All other roles within NJS will no longer exist. Junior tournaments will continue as planned in the current year, including existing arrangements for entry forms etc.
The NSRA Executive Committee has taken this decision in the best interests of junior squash players and the future of squash in the county and has the support of England Squash and Racketball in taking this action under these exceptional circumstances. The Committee hopes that those associated with both Junior and Senior squash in Norfolk can work together to provide a thriving future for squash in Norfolk.
