The Winter Club runs 7:30pm-10:00pm on most Mondays (not Bank Holidays) at
Mark Hall Sports Centre (see details below). We normally have 5 courts. When
we have a home match 2/3 courts will be used for the match.
The 2008/9 Winter Club will run from 1st Sep 2008 until 18th May 2009 with
adult fees of £130 (£65 for juniors).
If paid before the end of September Bluebirds will pay your Badminton
England and County Fees, but after that you will also have to pay these to
Bluebirds. Individual membership of Mark Hall Sports Centre is not currently
required to attend Bluebirds Badminton.
Pay as You Play
It's also possible for members to "Pay as You Play" for £6 a clubnight (£3
for juniors).
The upfront membership fee is reduced to just the Badminton England and County
fees but these members are fully bona-fide so may play in matches and vote.
Guests
Anyone wishing to "guest" should contact the committee so they can coordinate
guest attendance at club nights. The general situation is that someone can
guest a few times (the guest fee is £5 per night (£2.50 for juniors))
at which time they will be asked to make a formal application to join Bluebirds;
the Committee will then review the application at the earliest opportunity
and get back to the applicant. There are various situations that might arise
at that time e.g. an immediate offer to join, being put on a waiting list,
an invitation to attend a few more club nights as a guest or a suggestion to
get some more experience (we have sister clubs we can recommend that are excellent
for this). Guests cannot play in league teams.
