Since using the new sign up on the website we have had a lot more entries earlier on than previous years so i am pleased to see this working well. For those who are not registered to the site, unfortunately they do not see these emails so i ask of you to spread the word to all your team mates and fellow squash players so they have the opportunity to play in this wonderful, fun and family friendly atmosphere of a tournament.
