CHAIR

Alison has had the squash ‘bug’ for many years. Nicole Pirko, the pro at Pickering, convinced her to play in her first tournament — the Lee Hanebury — in 2008, and she had such a blast that she never looked back. Alison met a great bunch of women, joined T&D at the D Level, worked at her game and jumped to B, where she has played since the 2016-17 season. Alison has served on the TDWSA executive since 2015 and loves seeing other women get energized and enthused by this fabulous sport. Alison is TDWSA’s Chair and President.
