Squash club members should be looking for a more central location

Editor: Re: Bayside members rally in effort to save club, Sept. 16 I can imagine how disappointed the members of Bayside were at the poor turnout for their rally to save the squash club.

However, they couldn't possibly find a location further from North Delta if they tried. The present location is the first building after the U.S. border and as far from 56th Street as possible.

Why not relocate in one of the two, soon-tobe-opened mega malls right on the freeway at the Tsawwassen First Nation?

I would be happy to see my municipal taxes go to finance this or even build a new one on a piece of less expensive land, or as an extension to an existing recreational centre.

I would not be happy to have my taxes go to purchasing the present location at the asking price of $2.5 million and then have to spend the $1 million municipal staff say would be required to bring it up to code.

Let's have this resolved as soon as possible, so the members can get back to playing squash.
