The size of the draws were very poor across the board especially given the relative importance of the tournament.

The new venue was hard to find given the new postcode and lack of signage. The 5 courts themselves are new but very loud so hard to mark without a lot of shouting. there was also no balcony or show court type seating which meant that there was not enough room for viewing.

The venue as a whole was soul-less. The squash area is in the depth of the complex, windowless with only a snack dispensor and a water bottle for the hungry, thirsty and onlookers. I would not recommend this venue for a tournament.
