Happy New Year 2017

We hope you’ve had a good Christmas break and are looking forward to playing badminton again. That’ll burn off some of the extra calories taken in over the holiday.

Badminton resumes on Tues. Jan. 10th. January will be a busy month, as follows:

Henry will be available every Thursday in the 6 to 7 p.m. time slot, in the small gym, for juniors and anyone else who wants special coaching. Please arrange your sessions with him ahead of time when you’re at the club, or via 613-395-5798 or via email to henry.toews@yahoo.com.

Two round robin nights are scheduled for January (Thurs. Jan. 12 and Tues. Jan. 24). As usual, courts will be available for regular play for those who don’t play in the round robins. Round robin players must check in with Mark by 7:15, must be at least 14 years old, and must be prepared to stay until 9:30.

January 26 is the Glen Crowley Night, a night that unfortunately couldn’t be scheduled before Christmas because of school events and Glen’s other commitments. Besides being able to make minor repairs onsite, Glen will have a wide range of badminton stuff for sale (socks, shoes, tops, grips, bags, etc) and may have demonstrator racquets to try out.

The club’s 10th anniversary occurs in January, on Jan. 12 to be exact. We’ll have a special anniversary/pizza night in February, date yet to be decided. We may hold a General Meeting on the same night.

See you on court,

The Exec.
