| Annual Report
o Apologies from the Chairman that no written annual report was presented. The season was reviewed verbally as follows: o The lockdown due to Covid-19 brought the 2019/20 to an abrupt end o Prior to that membership numbers were up on the 2018/2019 season o 5 Grand Prix events were held and the winners and runners up will receive trophies at a later date once the new season is able to resume o Not enough super six tournaments were held to warrant awarding prizes o The new format County Training held in conjunction with Suffolk was generally (but not universally) well received with 135 juniors from Essex and 25 from Suffolk attending o It was agreed that at our next Committee Meeting we would look at way of engaged the south of the County Training once it is safe to play squash again.
