17-Mar-10:
THE ISS CANARY WHARF SQUASH CLASSIC
OPENS ITS DOORS TO LONDON’S STARS OF TOMORROW
Imperial College University, London will bring its top
flight squash team to the spectacular ISS Canary Wharf Classic
venue at East Wintergarden next week, giving the team’s young
guns a rare opportunity to play on the event’s show court on
Friday 26 March.
The event, which has worked closely with the Financial
Services Authority (FSA) on their local educational legacy
programme, will also welcome a class of 20 students from nearby
Rokeby Boys School in Stratford, when event organiser and
legendary British squash player Peter Nicol, will give a
valuable insight into the worlds of elite squash and sports
business with a personalised Q&A session.
Trudi Morgan, FSA Community Affairs Officer, said, “The
Financial Services Authority believes it is very important to
support the local East London community, and through London
events such as the Canary Wharf Classic, we have the opportunity
to offer professional sports event experiences to young people
whose lives can really be enriched by this sort of opportunity.”
The ISS Canary Wharf Classic attracts the world’s top British
and international players to London’s spectacular glass East
Wintergarden venue and 2010 will see the return of Australian
squash legend David Palmer, back to defend his tournament
title.
Yorkshire’s British number one Nick Matthew will hope for
an extended run in this year’s competition having recently taken
the National title in Manchester.
