Badminton is back Sep 9th!

Hello everyone,

We hope you're having a great summer and looking forward to badminton start-up even though that means summer is about over.  The 2014 fall badminton session starts on Tues. Sept. 9th, going from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Tues. and Thurs.  Gill Singh will once again be giving complimentary lessons on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:00 in the small gym for all who are interested.


Session fees this fall are $20 or $2/night for juniors (under 19).  Adults are $40 or $5/night.  Please consider a membership.  There are 30 evenings available this session, an adult participating in 9 or more will have saved some money.  Participate in more than 16 and the cost is under $2.50/night.  Membership this year includes a guest pass so you can bring someone out at no charge and introduce them to the game.


The club's informal executive held a meeting following the last night of play in June. We wondered who else might be willing to help with the club this year and in planning for the future. Please let us know if you'd consider helping and we will schedule another meeting, one that will be open to everyone in that regard.


Looking forward to seeing you on court,

Terry, Dave, Mark, Mike, & Gill

June 5th cancelled

Hello everyone,

Just letting you know that June 5th's badminton has been cancelled because of a school event. 

Nightly turnouts have been good even in the warm weather, so it looks like there's enough interest to keep playing until our permit runs out on June 12.

See you on court,
Terry

Coaching is over and resumes in Sept.

Hello everyone,

Gill tells me that the demand for coaching has dropped off now that we're close to the end of the season. As a result, there will be no more Thursday night coaching until badminton resumes in September. The calendar will be updated when it starts up again.

May/June Badminton

Hello everyone,

This is to let you know that we can play badminton as late as Thursday June 12th if there are enough people interested in playing at that time. That means there aren't many playing opportunities left in the season, so make an effort to get out as often as possible before the long summer break.

The last two round robin nights of the season are Tuesday May 6th and Thursday May 15th. As always, if you intend to play in one of the round robins you must arrive by 7:20 on those nights and register with Mark who will then set up the draw sheets. Players in the round robins must be prepared to stay till 9:30 if necessary. There will be courts for regular play if you don't want to play round robin, but most players will be in the round robins.

See you on court,
Terry
