Summer club |
Our summer club is a group of people from Worcester Badminton Club, who get together on a weekly basis to continue playing throughout the summer months. There is an additional weekly cost for this club as it is an extension to the regular season, and is therefore not covered by the annual joining fee.
We play on Wednesday evenings 9.00pm usually at Perdiswell Leisure Centre in Worcester using feather shuttles, and welcome any visitors that wish to play competitive badminton.
The cost is £4.00 per person, payable each evening and like our main club you will be invited to join following your 3rd visit.
If you are interested in visiting or joining our summer club, please contact: summerclubteam@worcesterbadminton.org.uk
Please note - Anyone who joins the summer club will not automatically become a member of Worcester Badminton Club. If you are a member of Worcester Badminton Club you will be eligible to play at the summer club if you wish.
