There were 100 names on the waiting list join.

The low stone wall next to the bowling green, seen upon approaching the Squash Club, was painted white to 'assist lady drivers'.

1980 - A third court was built at a cost of approximately £30,000.  Although originally planned to be a glass back court, funding proved elusive so an ordinary court on a concrete raft was built instead. 

Upstairs, the room overlooking the third court was walled across and became a snooker room.  Although not large enough to use a conventional snooker cue, pool cues sufficed.   Occasionally the sound of cues hitting the wall could be heard.  A curtain drawn across a gap in the wall sufficed as an entrance.
