Get your morning hit: Early Bird Badminton returns tomorrow morning!

Dear Members,

If you missed the note earlier, just a brief reminder that our first Early Bird Badminton session of the year is taking place tomorrow morning, from 7am to 9am.

It’s £6 for members and £10 for non-members, and a great way to enjoy some extra court time before the day gets going.

If you’re able to make it, you can still book on using the link below:

https://wrfc.mycourts.co.uk/course_details.asp?courseID=1892

It would be great to see a few of you on court bright and early.

Kind regards,

WR&FC
