Badminton Thursday B / B+ / A mixed-level session

Dear Members,

Thanks to the fantastic energy and strong turnout, we’re excited to confirm that the Thursday B / B+ / A mixed-level session will continue every week until Christmas!

This mixed session isn’t just about great badminton — it’s about the friendly, social atmosphere that brings players together across levels. Expect dynamic rallies, fresh challenges, and plenty of opportunities to meet and mix with more members in a welcoming, fun environment.

To help us plan courts effectively, please RSVP each week — it really helps ensure everyone gets the best possible playing experience.

?? We’re also looking to recruit one Session Representative to support the smooth running of the session each week.
If you’re friendly, organised, and enjoy contributing to the club community, we’d love to hear from you!

See you on court every Thursday — let’s keep the energy high and the vibes positive! ????

Best regards,
Badminton Committee
