The team selections for this year are currently posted on the notice board on club night. In addition, you should already have received a mail notifying you of the teams. There may be a couple of “tweaks” required but I expect most teams to stay “as-is”; the exceptions are Mixed and Ladies where the selection committee need to do some juggling.

The fixture list for this year has been updated. I made a small error when scheduling a fixture against Phoenix for the Mixed team. Please replace your fixture list with a new one which can be downloaded from the Calendar page on this site. Team captains will also be getting individual fixture lists tomorrow night along with their captains packs.

I’ve uploaded the fixture lists for the 2012/2013 season. You can download them from the Calendar page.

The 2012/2013 season starts on Tuesday 4th September at 19:00. We look forward to seeing you all there. We’re hoping that some of the visitors who were attracted by the summer badminton will come along too and join us for the new season. Members from last season will be getting an e-mail from me shortly to ask about preferences for teams.

Summer badminton will run on Tuesdays starting on the 22nd May from 7.45pm to 9.45pm. We will have two or three courts each night; depending on numbers. There won’t be a session on 5th June due to the public holiday. The cost is £25 for summer membership (14 nights); payable in advance. If you wish to “pay and play” there will be a fee of £3 on the night.

The summer club will also be open to other club members and those not already in a club. It’s always good to pit your wits against new opposition! Please contact Dawn on 07944 185237 or email for more information.

Our AGM is on Tuesday 15^th May 2012, starting at 7.30pm.

I have booked Fulwood Sports (Tennis) Club pavilion again, where we will be able to use their pavilion and buy drinks from the bar at cost price!

Please let me know if there is anything you would like on the agenda, and also whether or not you think you can make it.

I don’t think it should be too long this year as we don’t have many big decisions to make so please do come – the club would not exist if it weren’t for those who support it – both with their attendance and fees but also with their help in running it!

Please remember that Tuesday 27th March is the annual club tournament. There will not be a normal club night on this night so if you haven’t entered the tournament it’s probably worth staying at home with a nice hot drink; unless, of course, you want to come and watch. For those of you who have entered the tournament, please arrive at 7pm sharp so that we can start the tournament. We have 33 games to get through so it’s essential that we start on time and move quickly from one game to the next.
