November badminton
November’s full badminton schedule can be found on the club's calendar, but here are the highlights:
1) Two round robin nights have been scheduled, the first being on Thursday November 3rd, and the second being on Tuesday the 15th. Please remember that players participating in round robins must be at least 14 years old and must sign in by 7:20 with Mark, and must be prepared to stay until 9:30 if necessary. Courts will be available for regular play for those not wanting or not eligible to play in round robins.
2) We will be contacting Glen Crowley this week to arrange for the club’s annual Glen Crowley Night which will be later this month or early in December on a date that fits school activities (we’ll advise you later of the actual date). That’s the night when Glen brings a wide selection of badminton-related stuff for club members to try out or purchase, such as clothes, running shoes, racquets and accessories. He also does minor repairs that night, and takes away racquets for restringing. The club provides light snacks.

Badminton is back Sept. 6th!
We hope you're having a great summer and looking forward to badminton start-up even though that means summer is about over.
The 2016-17 badminton season runs in two sessions, the first being from Sep. 6th to Jan. 31st, and the second being from Feb. 2nd to Jun. 15th. Play goes from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Tues. and Thurs. in both gyms.
Single session fees are unchanged at $25 for juniors/youths (under 19 yrs. old) and $45 for adults. $10 discount if paying for both sessions at the same time. Payment by cheque to “Centre Hastings Badminton Club” is preferred for session fees, for book-keeping reasons.
Payment must be made on your first night out to avoid having to pay any nightly fees.
Nightly fees remain unchanged at $2/night for juniors and $5/night for adults. Players planning to pay the session fees must still pay the nightly fees until they make the session payment. They will be credited 50% of nightly fees already paid.
As per last year, please use the “Sign In” book and sign in and pay before going on court.
We have also booked the small gym on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:00 for coaching. Instruction is available at no extra charge for juniors and novice adults in that time period, but must be prearranged with Henry who can be reached at 613-395-5798 or via email at henry.toews@yahoo.com.
