Squash & Racketball (War & Peace)

Dear [[firstname]]

Firstly, let me apologise for the long Squash & Racketball update, there has been a lot going on across the Squash & Racketball section in the last few weeks, with a lot of positivity, internally and externally about the work we are doing at WLTSC. We are continuing to see old and new members trying Squash & Racketball and this gives me and the S&R committee a lot of confidence in the direction we are taking. Why not give it a go #GIAG
