It is the first time that the championships have returned to England since 1999 when Sheffield played host.

A fantastic social programme is planned starting with an Opening Ceremony in the University of Birmingham’s wonderful Great Hall. Eight days later the championships will close with a Championship Dinner at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre.

WORLD MASTERS SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS 2012 – Website Launched

Preparations for the 11th World Masters Squash Championships which are to be held in Birmingham, England in 2012 are well underway and today seeing the launch of the official championships website: http://www.squashworldmasters.com

The World Masters Championships is one of the great meeting places in squash, where friends from around the world come together not just to challenge for world titles, but to celebrate our great sport – it is truly a global sporting festival.

We aim to enhance this experience by providing the opportunity for anyone coming to the UK for the Masters to have the sporting holiday of a life time.

The 2012 World Squash Masters Championships will run from 20th to 27th July with the Closing Ceremony concluding as the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympic Games begins.

This will allow everyone attending the World Masters, should they choose, to experience the 30th Summer Olympiad.

Masters Squash is thriving in England and this is a great opportunity for many players to come together and compete – some for the first and perhaps only time, for other more seasoned campaigners for another World title challenge.

The Championships will be held in Birmingham – the Heart of England. They will centre on the prestigious Edgbaston Priory Club and the University of Birmingham, which sit alongside each other in leafy Edgbaston, and yet are only a couple of miles from the bustling centre of this truly international metropolis.

Our venues will provide first class facilities, worthy of a world championships and a wide range of accommodation will be available, from self-catering on the university campus to international standard hotels.

For those wanting the Olympic experience, Birmingham is only an hour from London – and with the Green Wave and the Javelin Train, you can be in the Olympic Park in no time.

www.squashworldmasters.com has some essential information regarding the championships, the venues, the city of Birmingham and how to register for London 2012 tickets. The site will continue to be developed as the championships approach and online entries will go live later this year.
