Boston Open
What is it?
​
The Boston Open began in 1997 to celebrate the opening of the club's new rainbow courts, which made it the first club in the UK to have National Lottery funded rainbow courts. The club more than succeeded in its goal of attracting some nationally ranked players, and the event has continued ever since.
​
From 2000-2017, it linked in with the BSPA Tour, which was a huge success. The Boston Open became the longest running event on the tour, although the BSPA announced it would discontinue after the 2017/18 season.
​
Despite this, the club continues to run the tournament as a PSA Satellite event.
