*** Important - New Playing times ***
Club nights will be on every Thursday from 7:30pm until 10:00pm at Ipswich School. Our first club night will be on 1st September 2011. Our new
begineers and improvers club continued to be very successful last season and so we will continue to run this alongside the main club on Thursday evenings.
New players
We welcome new players, from complete beginners through to experienced club players. For experienced players we have our regular club, which is
one of the largest competitive league clubs in Ipswich. For players with less experience, or players wishing to take up Badminton we run a
separate club, where we offer support and coaching.
If you are interested in joining us then feel free to contact Bob on 01473 413838 or
Paul on 07982 158889. You can also download our membership form below and return it to Paul at the address on the form. You are also most welcome to just turn up on a Thursday evening from 7:30pm onwards.
League teams
Home league matches are played on a Tuesday night at various times between 7:00pm until 10:30pm at Ipswich School, with up to three home matches being played per night. We have
10 teams in the Ipswich and District League, including 5 division one teams.
Costs
We try to keep our membership cost as low as possible so that cost is not a bar to people particapting in the club. One of the ways we do this is to make a part of our annual
membership a voluntary donation. By doing this we can claim back Gift Aid from this amount for all normal rate taxpayers. This arrangement allows us to keep costs to a minimum for all members.
The membership cost for the 2011-2012 season is a maximum of £60.00 and is broken down as follows: -
| £17.60 | Club membership | This is the clubs fixed membership fee |
| £30.00 | Voluntary donation | This is a donation we ask you to make towards the running of the club |
| £12.40 | BAE membership | BAE membership provides you with insurance whilst you are playing badminton |
Prospective new members may attend on a "pay as you go basis" for up to five sessions before commiting themselves to membership. Each "pay as you go" session is charged for
at £4.00 and all such payments are deducted from the annual membership cost when a person goes on to become a member.
You can pay your club fees using online banking. The details are:
