Where and When
We'd like to offer more info but if we published our full details publically and it may become awkward if a lot of people turn up unexpectedly, but this is what we can tell you so far...
We run our session for 2 hours from mid-evening on certain weekdays a few miles on the north side of town.
For more info, our frequently asked questions page might answer your question.
Full details when will be included when we contact you.
Equipment
You will need to come in appropriate clothing, maybe bring a drinks bottle and perhaps a hand towel.
Ideally bring your own racquet, however we do have some available to hire for £2 per session but these are limited so must reserve in advance.
We'll take care of shuttlecocks (Yellow Mavis 600 Mediums (blue top)) and nets etc.
Due to an apparent global supply issue, we may need to use an alternative shuttle until supply has stabilised.
Skill Level
All levels are welcome, but players should ideally have a basic standard of dexterity, mobility, good hand-eye coordination, and the ability to clear the shuttle effectively.
We do not actively take part in any league fixtures, although league players are welcome to join us for additional practice.
We're here for a bit of fun and fitness. We're not an elitist club.
Format
Our games comprise of doubles that are spread over multiple courts.
We mix up the players after each game so no two games are the same. Your partner in one game may be on the opposite team next time, or even playing on a different court.
Advertise here
As little as £15/mo.Contact us with your requirements.
Participation
Just £7 for a 2-hour session. Cash on the evening, due at the beginning of each session.
We have an informal pay-as-you-play policy so you just pay on the sessions you turn up for.
Attendance
We request that players make the committment to participate regularly.
Players who are absent over a significant number of sessions may be notified that their membership is at risk of being withdrawn if further absences continue.
If that happens, we'll invite the next person on the waiting list.
Facilities
Showers are available on-site. However the centre closes at 9pm as we finish our session.
You're welcome to have a shower but must ensure you're finished, dried and ready to leave for 9pm, cutting your session short.
Parking
There is ample free on-site parking.
Smoking & Vaping
Please note that smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere on the premises, including the car park.
(even if confined within your own vehicle)
Should you wish to smoke or vape, you should make your way to the nearest public space and completely exit the premises.
Guests
Players are requested to refrain from inviting guests such as partners, friends or family members etc to our session without prior notice.
This makes it difficult if numbers are high and is also unfair to those on the waiting list.
Socials
On occasion we will arrange an afternoon to get together socially over drinks and a bite to eat, or maybe book a few tables at a restaurant somewhere.
Totally optional of course but it has a great effect of making the weekly play session more social and friendly.
Details of these socials are only announced during the course of our regular weekly play sessions.
Other bits
Good clean fun, easy going and friendly atmosphere.
