Doug Pope and Alistair McLennan finance Mataura Squash Courts in 1973......

The Mataura Squash Courts were open in 1973, with 100 people showing interest in taking out membership.

Financed solely by Mr Doug Pope, a bricklayer, and Mr Alistair  McLennan, a freezing worker both of Mataura, the building contains one court, a mens and womens changing rooms, an upstair gallery and a social room.

There is also room for another court and sauna to be added at a later date.
