Covid 19 UPDATE - 17 March 2020

Further to the clubs previous message we have today received further guidance on local badminton and the advice being followed is to cease playing and coaching. This effectively means a premature end to the season for both our junior and senior clubs which is extremely sad but I am sure you will understand the reasoning.  

​

We will hopefully begin our season again in September 2020 and we will arrange for communication to be sent to you nearer the time.

Please don’t forget our website (link below) which we carry news of any badminton dates and if you are on Facebook please join our group (link below)

In line with NHS guidelines if you do show any signs or symptoms of Covid 19 please self-isolate for 14 days and do not attend any club nights or junior coaching sessions.
