Yes it's time for the change of season
into summer badminton. Everyone is welcome members and non
members. You can join with friends in any of the singles
ladders, doubles ladders or summer team leagues - entry forms are
needed soon for all of these. See the noticeboard on the front page of
this website. If you miss out on these you can still go to Summer Club
on Mondays starting Nov 1st - this is just $12 per night and games
will be made up for you and shuttles provided. You will get to
play with players from all round Auckland at a level that suits you.
Great way to make new friends and get to know the badminton scene in
Auckland.
