Awesome!! Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, we (at most 6 people) take turns to play. The winner stays, and the next one in line continues.

Dangerous sometimes, the players would be having so much fun hacking the ball, and they have forgotten there are other people standing behind. Some people behind would just let other people do all the dodging and take some rest and thus block the way of others doing the dodging.

 Sounds like a new up and coming doubles/triples variant! :D Do you end up hitting each other a lot though? Must be difficult if you're not on a doubles court. 

Well, I guess with that many people on court, clashing is going to happen and as the others say, if it's unclear about who's going to hit it, either call for a let (in the case of your opponents) or call "mine/yours" to signal to your teammate who should play the ball.

Otherwise, keep your Harrow for nice, safe singles matches and get yourself something a little more affordable (£20-30/$30-50) that won't mind taking a few knocks. My friend likes the cheaper Dunlop offerings like the Dunlop G Force 30 (http://www.milletsports.co.uk/racket-sports/squash/rackets/adult/dunlop-g-force-30-squash-racket/) as he says they stand up to him cracking the walls on mishits. 

So how does this game work then? Do you all just take turns hitting it? Hope you're all wearing eye protection :) (and maybe body armour!)

 Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. 

Sometimes we play 3 quarters of the court and have more than 4 players. That is why racket clash can happen.

My thoughts also. The only time I've knocked racquets is during the warmup when there could be a doubt as to who is going to hit the ball. In the match there is no doubt, so I'm not sure why the racquets would be in the same space.

You shouldn't be clashing rackets with your opponent. If you foresee potential interference, stop the rally and call for a let, if its your opponent who is swinging his racquet through yours then talk to him and encourage him to call for a lets or find a safer opponent to play. No racket either heavy or light is design to sustain this type of impact.
