Howdy all.
My club plays in the South Manchester (Sale, Stretford, Altrincham) on Tuesday evenings.
We don't play at county league level, but just below.
We are currently looking for members to join our club and perhaps play at a competitive level.

Well, we're still looking (as always) for more players - social or competitive.

What's the age range of players? I doubt they are around my aghe...
Tomsk
03-22-2006, 02:16 PM
Well, all current members are >18 (it's impolite to ask the age of a lady;) ), but we do have a reduced rate for under 18s. Visitor fees are currently £4/night.

are there any 14-16/17 year olds who play?

Hi all, I'm a newbie in here. :)
I would like to find a partner to play badminton at weekends in Manchester.

All our members are adults. However with the end of the league season approaching a few of our members sometimes bring their teenage children along.

All details of where we play and how much are in this thread.
Anyone wishing to come down should PM me so I can pass details to our visitors representative.

I know the end of the season is approaching but are there any clubs playing on tues or thurs nights. Looking for a decent game but with no commitees etc

We play throughout the summer and visitors are welcome. No pressure for men to join - we're looking for women at the moment to balance the club.
And our league has just made the switch to feathers, so there'll be some experimentation this summer as we figure out which are the best shuttles we can afford to use!

Tomsk, what league do your club play? When you say there's "no pressure for men to join", do you mean you're just after women to join or can anybody pop down for a game?

We play in the South Manchester Badminton League (http://smbl.no-ip.org)
Anybody can come down for a game, but they need to contact our visitors rep. first. PM me for contact details.
Our club currently has 25 men/16 women so we're looking for women members at the moment. That doesn't mean that we would turn away any man who would make a good member - we don't recruit on ability alone.
