December badminton

December’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 December 8th, and the second being on Tuesday the 20th.  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) Our Christmas Pub Night is Thursday December 22nd.  A few of us leave the club around 9:00 to 9:30 p.m. and go to the Barley Pub for snacks and socializing until around 10:30.  Everyone is welcome to attend (including the juniors).


3) For Christmas gifts for the badminton player in your life Glen Crowley aka the "String Doctor" has a wide selection of equipment, services, and gift certificates available.


4) Badminton Ontario is recruiting enthusiastic volunteers to become accredited Line Judges for the 2017 Pan American Junior Badminton Championship being held in July 2017.

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.

See you on court,
