About
the Club
Hallo
there. Welcome to the Broomhill Badminton Club website. Firstly a bit of
background. The
club has been in existence for over 10 years. Initially based in Broomhill,
the club has been resident at the Cockburn Centre for over 8 years,
which may suggest a name change. The club is affiliated to the Scottish
Badminton Union and members can book courts at the Cockburn outwith
the club if so desired. Membership cards with membership number are
supplied.
We
meet on Monday nights from 8.30 till 10.30. As a club we try to play
throughout the year and maintain a regular Monday night fixture. Club
closures are notified in advance and are infrequent. If required through
lack of numbers we will reduce court capacity initially before cancellation.
This also reduces unnecessary expenditure for members. Depending upon
numbers we play doubles or mixed doubles on a steady
rotation to vary the play and hopefully increase enjoyment of the game.
Club
membership is currently at 12. This enables us to supply shuttles and
maintain two courts, which reduces sit-off time. Membership can be flexible
in terms of instalments over the year or alternatively on a nightly
basis. Registration fees to the Scottish Badminton Union are paid annually
through membership subscription.
In
order for the club to continue we are looking for new members to join
us on Monday nights. An understanding of the game and own equipment
is preferred. Our members cover a range of abilities and we welcome
anyone who is genuinely interested in the game. As a club we also enjoy
social nights out to ten-pin bowling and for eating out.
