Huntly Squash Club

The inaugural meeting of the Waikato Squash Rackets Association was held on Tuesday, 25th May 1965, after a meeting of Waikato Club delegates in April that year tabled correspondence from the NZ Association with the wish that the Waikato S.R.A be formed, and to include the area ‘south of Auckland and north of Taupo’. The early days of the Waikato S.R.A, led by Ack Malcolm, Murray Day, and Alan Griffiths, amongst others, were instrumental in encouraging the formation of clubs and supporting them with the building of courts. In 1972, the clubs in the Bay of Plenty region encompassed by the Waikato S.R.A broke away and formed their own Association and governing body.
