WOKING SQUASH RACKETS CLUB

Woking Squash Rackets Club was founded in 1954 by Denys and Jane Paterson and Ken Ouin, who organised use of the courts at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Chobham Road, Woking. These courts were closed in the early 1960s, but the club's teams continued to play in the Surrey Cup, under the captaincy of Eric Williams, despite being without a home... The current grounds are leased from the Horsell Sports Ground Association (HSGA), which was set up just after the first world war by a group of Horsell residents, for the purpose of acquiring and adapting a ground in Horsell for "sports, games and other events for the benefit of the village." The land next to Brewery Road and Arthurs Bridge Road was purchased by HSGA for the sum of £1,400 in the early 1920s. Woking & Horsell Cricket Club, which had been founded in 1905, and Horsell Football Club (founded in 1921, since merged with Woking Park) moved into their current ground on the site in 1923... We are a traditional members' squash and squash57..
