Dear Norfolk Squash Family,
We are heartbroken and still coming to terms with the sudden loss of Craig Aldred. It is hard to put into words just how much he meant to the squash community. Craig was not only the cornerstone of squash coaching at EATSC formerly Barnham Broom and a fixture of Norfolk Squash, but also a familiar, friendly presence supporting everyone he met.
He was truly at the heart of our community. Craig’s dedication, warmth, and consistency shaped the experience of so many squash players. His coaching was of the highest standard, but it was his genuine care for people that made such a lasting impact. He will be deeply missed by us all. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family and close friends during this incredibly difficult time.
His wife has shared the news on Facebook, and you can find her message here: https://www.facebook.com/share/17Fy5sFrbM/?mibextid=wwXIfr
EATSC Court 1 will be closed throughout next week and will be available as a quiet space for everyone to pay their respects and remember Craig. You are welcome to bring tributes, however, please keep in mind that all items will be passed on to his family at the end of the week. While flowers may be difficult to deliver, cards and non-perishable items would be most appropriate.
With deepest sympathy,
Norfolk Squash
It is with great sadness that we announce that Craig tragically passed away yesterday in a motorcycle accident (4th April 2026)
Our hearts have been shattered into a million pieces, and our lives won't ever be the same without him. Those of you that had the fortune of knowing Craig will know he had a heart of gold.
Please kindly share this with anyone you know that had coaching from Craig as we are unable to reach out directly to anyone who had upcoming lessons booked.
Love Paula & Joe ###
