SILVER CLUB CHARTER STATUS FOR EBBISHAM

Having achieved Bronze Club Charter status from National Governing Body England Squash in July 2003, Ebbisham Sports Club was recently awarded Silver Club Charter status. This award is presented to Clubs which provide an environment which is safe and friendly, accessible and welcoming, has good facilities, provides a range of coaching, hosts competitive events and fosters links with local schools.

CLUB CHARTER

Club Charter is a new initiative by the national body, England Squash, to create a network of squash clubs around the country which are safe and child friendly, accessible and welcoming, have good facilities and provide a range of coaching and competitive opportunities. Clubs have to fulfill and work their way up through various levels of ‘excellence’ criteria to achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold Charter status. We are now working our way towards Gold Charter status – for details, have a look at the literature on the balcony table.
