SUMMERTIME YET AGAIN…
  
When the summer arrives, TV seems to show “old classics”, that the “old” generation always enjoy, and that the “new” generation very often discovers…
  
So, as it’s a bit quiet on the squash front at the moment, we decided to do some “repeats” for you. OK, “repeats” is not such an attractive name, so what about “Classics”…
  
A lot to re-discover, and maybe discover if you joined us recently, so come on, get yourself a good icy drink, your feet on the computer table, your sun hat onto your eyes, and enjoy our “Summertime Classics”…
