We regret to report that Bill Matheson passed away on Saturday 31st August after a short illness. Our deepest sympathy goes to his daughters Karen and Laurie and their families.
Bill was very active in the SAC and a keen sportsman. An attacking centre forward on the football field, a great doubles tennis player and a powerful figure in the introduction of squash as a recognised sport in France. (He also played squash for Scotland as their n° 3). He was a driving force behind the creation of the Squash Section and the building of the first squash court at the Club. He was a Vice-President of the Club from 1977 to 1987.
Over the past weekend SAC had the great pleasure to host the return of the Rhinos, a team from the UK that last visited Paris in the early 1990s. Two excellent matches were played, with a win each for the tourists and the hosts.
Next weekend the opponents are St Brice on Saturday 7th and Le Croq Sportif on Sunday 8th (with a 12 o'clock start.)
