Hello everyone,
We hope you’ve all had a good summer regardless of the highly variable weather.
Badminton starts on Tuesday September 8th and will run through to Thursday June 16th, with that period split into two sessions. Regular play will run from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. every night.
PIZZA /General Meeting Night:
Tuesday Sept. 29th will be a PIZZA/General Meeting Night to discuss the following situations/changes, round robin nights, executives, volunteers, etc.

COACHING:
6:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays are again reserved for coaching. However our coach, Gill Singh, recently fell and hurt his back and both rotator cuffs so is probably out of commission for the whole of the first session. The coaching sessions will be cancelled unless someone else volunteers to take over for Gill.
SESSIONS & FEE CHANGES:
Because the fees for the first session are always the same as those for the second, we feel it makes sense to adjust the sessions so they have approximately the same number of play nights. As an experiment, the first session will run until January 28th, with the second session starting Feb 2nd.
The combined fee for 2 sessions will be $80 for adults and $40 for juniors (under 19 yrs. old), unchanged from last year, but only if paid in a single payment. If players choose instead to pay for each session individually at the beginning of each session, the fee will be $45 per session for adults and $25 per session for juniors.
The alternative to paying session fees is pay by-the-night guest fees. Those fees are unchanged at $5 per night for adults and $2 per night for juniors. By-the-night players can convert from guest status to session members at any time by paying the appropriate session fee adjusted by a portion of the guest fees they’ve already paid. If the conversion occurs in the second night played, the first night’s fee will be credited 100%. If the conversion occurs at any later time, the credit will be 50% of all nightly fees already paid.

See you on court soon.
