OLYMPIC LATEST
 Our next
milestone is in April 2008 when the IOC announces the shortlist for
the Olympic Programme Review 2008/09.
We must then extend the successful campaign which saw Squash come
out on top of the five sports on the 2005 shortlist.
The good news now is that only a simple majority vote is required -
rather than the two thirds needed then!
Furthermore, we have made significant progress against the Programme
Commission's report for Squash in 2005 - in areas such as
Popularity, Development and Presentation.
