General information on club nights

New Season Starts Fri 2nd September

We hope you had a good summer and are ready for the new season, which starts on Friday 2nd September at Welland Park Academy. Please see the detailed information below for season dates and club contacts.

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. 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.

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.

We hope to see you on Friday 2nd September.

Club Nights

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

For more details see here.

We will also send out email updates throughout the season. 

Subscriptions

This season’s club fees have increased by £5 since last season due to 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 sent by email. Alternatively you can pay giving cheque/cash to Jim at club night:

For more details see here.

Matches

We intend to have Mixed Doubles and Men’s teams registered in the Leicestershire leagues and will attempt to arrange some friendlies for the Ladies team. Once we have the fixtures, they will be available here.

Contacts

Contacts for individual committee members are also available here.

Club Nights during Feb/March

Firstly, a reminder that there is no club night this Friday (18th Feb) due to us not being able to book Welland Park during half term.
