Members of the Month – The Poole Family
The Members of the Month for April are Greg, Teresa, Chloe, and Charlie Poole. They have had a few different stints at the club but have been here for a combined 10+ years! They were looking for a place to play squash and found The Chatham Club. It has been a passion of their family ever since. They have even expanded into personal training to improve their strength levels and squash game.
