There was limited interest in the Children section of Badminton, but we need just a few more members in that category to start competitions.

We look forward to new members in the upcoming season commencing February 10.

The first four weeks will be for new members to try out the game.

This also allows new players to be graded. No fees are charged for these first four Wednesdays.

Racquets are available for those who wish to have a try.

Shuttles are provided throughout the season.
