Badminton Group

Description

Staff and Postgrad badminton group - for those who enjoy a friendly game with a bit of a challenge.

Programme of events

We play mixed doubles on Tuesdays from 5.00 - 6.30pm and Fridays 6.30 - 8.00pm. We usually have three courts on Tuesdays, and at least three on Fridays. We have a wide range of levels from post-beginner to advanced, but we often mix it up in doubles games. The Staff Club provide synthetic shuttlecocks when possible, but we may ask for a small contribution from time to time to keep us topped up.

We often go the Hawthorns after the Tuesday session and have Christmas/birthday meals. We may take part in the next intra-mural badminton tournament if there is enough interest.

Membership

Eligibility to join: All staff and postgrads are welcome, although complete beginners are encouraged to try a course at the sports centre first as there are not many total beginners at the club.

Subscription fees: Sessions are free for UOB sports pass holders, there is a £5 admission fee to the sports hall for people not holding a sports pass. We also ask everyone to join the mailing list (after trying out a session). Shuttlecocks are provided, but we may ask for a small contribution via the mailing list if we run out.

To join the group: Please contact Martin McMillan (see details below).
