Luton is suffering a major drop in female league badminton players, several clubs in and around the area are being dominated by men. Unless this trend can be stopped the medley league which is now down to 4 divisions will soon be down to 3 (there was as many as 17 ten years ago). If you live in or around the Luton area, check out www.vauxhallbadminton.co.uk The season has just finished but we are one of the few clubs that plays through the summer; Every tuesday 8-10pm at the Vauxhall Recreation Club (Non members welcome) directions on website, starts June 12th 2007, £4 per night, £2 juniors. We advise players below an intermediate level not to attend as it is a league club but very friendly none the less.
Hi there.. Im moving to Luton on the 1st of Dec! Is this club still active? I would love to join!! Im intermediate standard and play twice a week here in stafford. Im moving to Luton for my new job : )
Hi, yes we are still there, just come along on a tuesday 7-10 and we can take it from there. Regards, Malcolm
Luton women players Hi there, I live in Luton. But the last time I regularly played badminton was like when I was 16. What sort of level are you looking for ? I am not confident enough to play matches yet i guess. But I am chinese, i hope its in the blood. With some commitment and training I might be helpful... looking forward to hear from you soon. Regards, Wendy xx
hi! Wendy, I found this great club called Challney badminton club here in Luton. I play with them every friday night from 7-10pm. They are extremely friendly and have mixed ability players both male and female. Ive been 3 times now and I love it! They use feather shuttles too which is a bonus. They are not playing this friday ofcourse because of the xmas break but will start again next friday. If you are interested pls let me know and I can direct you there. They play at challney highschool. I have been to vauxhall badminton club too but i found challney to be far more friendly to be honest. let me know.. Zed
hi there. My colleague said that your club is a well-organized badminton club. I am fond of playing badminton. so how can I join you? do I need to book an appointment? Pls contact me by my email fatter8@gmail.com. thank you Bamboo
Hi there, Challney Badminton club is very good but they will take a break over the summer. The last session will be in mid July actually. They play every friday night 7-10pm at challney high school and are a very good and friendly club. However, me and my friends all play quite regularly every week as I get free courts in Dunstable leisure centre. If you are interested you are more than welcome to join us.
yes so do i.. challney club is in challney highschool which is in the leagrave area. In my opinion its far better than vauxhall.. much nicer people and a better environment :')
oh James20, thats not great maybe you should find another club haha actually most clubs that play in school halls just rely on when the school will remain open for term time. They normally break for half term and summer hols
Hi, i am intermediate standard player and live in Luton. Can someone please let me know how can I Join Challney badminton club? or is it just walk in? Thanks
Just seen this... Chalney is no longer playing club nights as their hall is being refurbished Vauxhall is still going and looking for people, the next session is 9th January if you are interested?
