New Season Starts 1st Sept

We hope you had a good summer and are ready for the new season, which starts on Friday 1st September in the new hall at Welland Park Academy from 7.30-9.30pm. Please see the detailed information below for season dates and club contacts.

When entering Welland Park Academy by car, turn left and follow the road around to the rear of the school, where you can park and will see the large new sports hall next to the astroturf. The exit is then around the opposite side of the school. Given that it’s a new hall, Welland Park will only allow non-marking indoor footwear.  

Whilst we do not expect COVID-19 to be an issue during the coming season, we will continue to follow any government/Badminton England guidance. We also ask that you do not attend our sessions if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have recently tested positive.

We hope to see you on Friday 1st September.

Club Nights

Club nights will take place at Welland Park Academy, Market Harborough, every Friday from 7.30pm and 9.30pm. Due to hall availability, on some occasions throughout the season, club night may be moved to Meadowdale School from 7.45pm to 9.45pm. We will also be using Meadowdale School for matches this season.

A full listing of club nights and venues is available here. We will also send out email updates throughout the season. 

Subscriptions

This season’s club fees are here, which have increased since last season due to a longer season (until end of June) and increases in Badminton England membership and shuttle costs.

Can you please ensure that your subscriptions are paid by the end of September, any subs received after that will not receive the £10 discount. If you’re intending to play in matches, prompt payment is appreciated so you can be registered. No one will be registered or able to play in matches until their fees are paid.

We would prefer you to pay your fees by bank transfer using the details below. Alternatively you can pay giving cheque/cash to Jim at club night. Bank details have been provided to existing members by email, but please ask Jim for details if you need these.

There is currently no specific COVID-19 guidance and do not expect this to be an issue during the season, but we will continue to follow any government/Badminton England guidance.

It’s worth noting that there is construction work ongoing at Welland Park Academy as they are building a new sports hall that is due for completion in spring 2023. It is currently still possible to park at the rear of the school, but the entrance should now be used to exit.
