Thanks for the suggestion and I agree with you but I am busy enough with trying to make change at a club level and besides this is just the sort of stuff SA should be lobbying for, how about it Gary ?

Viper - inadvertently I was appointing you as the representative to take this further - you sound like leadership material and like debate and discussion and could put up a good case for the pollies.
Do it - it is a sound argument as it is about participation, sunsafe, cardio, time effective, weight control, damn good work out, brain control, and heaps more.
I am serious, no jokes.

Good idea Rita

Viper - what you said just struck a cord.
The medical funds were allocating a certain portion of the membership to sports related stuff, eg sports shoes, gym fees to encourage its members to become more physical.

So, with all the Govt talk about obesity, health, fitness, kids video games, etc. maybe they need to get involved in this onslaught of squash centres not only in Australia but throughout the world to try to save the population's medical bills.
The only exercise the people in the seats/stands get is from wriggling their bottoms to prevent numbness, shouting, or the fanatics from swinging their arm around and jumping up and down and so on

P.S
The 500 mentioned would comprises visitors, and members who do not log in.

As this article shows so clearly the game is still in free fall :

BTW how many of the 500 are uniques ?

Viper - on the bright side, squashgame does have about 500 visitors a day to the site, so we know there are many people throughout the world who are playing squash to enhance their lives, increase their well being, and want to learn more about the game.
