The Callander Squash & Racketball Club has been constituted in readiness for you to join and we are confident that we have funding to re-instate one of the courts at McLaren Community Leisure Centre. However the Chairman Alex Mitchel and his board at MCLC are effectively blocking our proposal by making an unreasonable demand for a guarantor for 5 years of income! Please sign this petition if you think Alex is being unreasonable, that this facility will benefit the community and that you or your children will definitely use it for squash or racketball if it is reinstated. Don't delay - time is running out and we need your signature NOW!

We hit a major milestone today that proves the community is ready for these courts to return. Post this link on your Facebook feed right now and send a direct email to the board members at the leisure centre to tell them that their demands are unacceptable.

It would be great to see Callander have squash courts again. Remember playing there as a junior and their Ladies Team.

I am at Bridge of Allan Sports club and I fully support a squash club at Callander. The sport is excellent for fitness and I would like to be taking junior squash teams to Callander for matches. Squash and racketball are on the up!

I support the need for squash provision at McLaren for the benefit of the community. Not all sports are profit-making and I am bewildered at the need to identify a guarantor.

As far as I was aware there was a promise made that when the old courts were demolished and sold for fancy flats that there would always be a squash facility in Callander. The court could still be used for table tennis or a fitness class studio even when no one wants to play squash

The only other squash option I could find within 10 miles of Callander involves having to join a sports club. Enabling a court at MCLC makes squash affordable and a realistic sporting option for the local community. I would definately use it with my children.

I am particularly keen for my two boys to have a local opportunity to play squash. I would also be interested to know who was the guarantor for the swimming pool and the climbing wall?l

Junior squash in central is growing and getting stronge. It would be great to give the children in the area the opportunity to try. Opens up great possibilities for club to school links which in turn encourages families to play.
