FRAM'S CORNER #83 Everything you never knew you needed to know about the Squash World 8th October 2011
Surely you remember the absence of Pakistan Juniors in Herentals
this July. All due to some mix up with Visas, then a member of
the Pakistan Federation talking to the Press, accusing WSF and
his president of wrong doing, then denying talking to the Press...
Well, apparently, it would be the same man that was sent to the
Paderborn Men Team event, without a coach.. I met him, a
charming and extremely polite gentleman.
Anyway, here is the letter, and the first article I could find
reacting to it...
The Tribune ends its article with "Meanwhile, another PSF
official said the secretary had his days numbered in the post."
Well, you would think so, woudln't you???
