Nottingham Squash Rackets Club and UK Racketball's Big Racketball Push

To try and combat falling membership numbers we devised a 4 pronged attack strategy to really get racketball going at Nottingham Squash Rackets Club.

1. City Centre Promotion with Mini Squash wall, flyers and a months free trial.

2. BBC East Midlands, interviews and the sports presenter playing Laura Hill

3. Exhibition and Open Day, local coach Mark Fuller vs Laura Hill, 5 times National Champion

4. The Nottingham Racketball Open, part of the 2010 Harrow UK Racketball Series.

The plan was to do all this within the space of only a couple of weeks and make a massive membership push for the squash club. Just click on the articles below to find out how they went.
