BBC Squash Club | The BBC Squash Club played in the Surrey leagues up to 1997.
The BBC's sports ground at Motspur Park was closed in 2004 after Hawkesbrook Leisure Group, which operated the site, went into liquidation. BBC Property owns the freehold to the site and historically allowed the BBC club to use it to provide services to its members.
In July 2000, Hawkesbrook took a lease to run Motspur Park as a commercial venture, which included providing services to the BBC Club, but the company has since run into financial difficulties.
The abandoned sports ground at Motspur Park has been unused ever since.
However, there used to be a BBC Squash Club which played at Woodlands, 80 Wood Lane, London W12 0TT. |

Reigate | In the 1930s, there were few squash clubs outside London and the public schools. Lord Nugent, who had been an MP in the Home Counties, was enthusiastic to see squash clubs set up in the Provinces. By 1935, he had supported the establishment of clubs in Tunbridge Wells and Guildford. He sowed the seeds amongst potential squash players.
Kenneth Brewer was a keen member of Reigate Tennis Club in Manor Road. The club needed £500 to build a new hard court and agreed with Kenneth to sell the land now occupied by the Squash Club. With the help of four local benefactors who provided £125 each and a bank loan of £1100, two squash courts and changing rooms were completed in 1936.
A few years later, the club was requisitioned by the Canadian Army for storage. After the war, the club was soon restarted. The freehold was conveyed to the Trustees in 1952 but it took until the early 1960s to pay off the bank loan.
In the 1970s and 1980s, two further courts were added. During this period, the club had a number of County and International players and developed some juniors who became stars of the future including Danny Lee, now professional at St. George’s and Alison Malynn (nee Cumings) who rose through the ranks to number 4 in the world.
