PETER NICOL GIVES AWAY SPECIAL GOLD TICKETS FOR THE ISS CANARY WHARF
SQUASH CLASSIC
PHOTOCALL:
Date:
Monday, February 25th, 2008
Venue: Canada Place Mall
between Boots & Gap (near to Waitrose)
Time: 11am to 2pm
TICKETS for the forthcoming
ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic are like gold-dust – but former world
champion Peter Nicol will be giving them away next week.
 Nicol,
who is a co-promoter of London’s premier squash tournament, will be
appearing at the Canada Place Mall at Canary Wharf on Monday
February 25 to sign autographs, answer questions on his illustrious
career and oversee special draws for free Gold Tickets.
The ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic takes place at the stunning East
Wintergarden venue from March 10-14 and all prime back-wall seats for
the event have now sold out.
The only way for squash fans to get their hands on one is to register
their names for the Gold Ticket draws which will take place
during Nicol’s visit to Cabot Place from 11am to 2pm on Monday February
25.
Each draw will take place on the hour at 12noon, 1pm and 2pm and the
former world No.1 will pick out the lucky winners.
Nicol said: “It is wonderful to see that all the prime back-wall seats
have sold out so quickly for the event. It proves that we have an
irresistible combination of the world’s leading players performing on
the glass court inside such a fabulous venue as the East Wintergarden.
“This is the fifth year of the tournament and it is tremendously
encouraging to see such a fantastic response from spectators who are
drawn to the skills and incredible athleticism of the world’s best
players. Side-wall tickets are still available but the back-wall seats
were snapped up very quickly.”
Nicol, who combines event management with coaching and developing a new
fitness business, is glad he no longer has to put his body through the
mill in such a brutal sport. Nicol, who was the world No.1 for more than
five years, added: “I enjoy watching the top guys putting themselves
through some absolutely brutal matches and have absolutely no desire to
get back on court!”
