Badminton England registration if you are a new member - £23.70

The Badminton England Insurance is mandatory when joining a club. You can pay through Apollo or another club you are a member of.
Match fees will be £6. Our new match night will be TUESDAY EVENINGS 7:30-10:00pm. As our membership has grown and club nights have become busier, we want to reduce the match nights on a Thursday leaving us with just 2 courts for club night. We are hoping to enter 4 teams into the league this year – this will be approximately 22 home matches. There may be the occasional Thursday Match night as a back-up if needed.
Summer club
Summer club has now come to an end. Thank you to all our members who have played and to all our visitors who have joined us over the summer.
Our 25/26 season will start at the beginning of September with matches soon commencing. If you are interested in joining our club please speak to a member of the committee – Jo, Allan, Jordan or Jim.
We are a busy competitive club who host a couple of social in-house tournaments throughout the year. Due to the standards of the league, we try to maintain a competitive standard during our league season so our members can practice for matches.

It will be £10 a night for pay and play, or for our members and current regular visitors it will be £84 upfront to attend all summer (£6 a night). Our summer club is open to all members and visitors.

2024/2025 Season
The 2024/2025 season is now underway and it’s great to see some new members joining us! The season runs from September - May with a 2 week break over Christmas. As we play in a school the hall is sometimes unavailable to us during open evenings and exams, but we will always endeavour to find an alternative venue.Continue Reading
We have entered a Composite and a Men's 4 team into the North foreland league this season. Home matches are played on Thursday nights at St Anselm’s. The season’s fixtures and results can be found on our Fixtures page.
It is £100 to join for the season and this includes your Badminton England membership and also a club t-shirt (if you're a new member) to wear for matches. This is not compulsory but it is nice when a team are all unified. Please contact us for details of how to pay.
If you haven't already, please find us on Facebook as Mike will regularly post updates about halls/timings etc and also his famous match reports accompanied with flattering match pictures.

New Season
Thursday 7th September is the start of our 23/24 membership season. This runs from September - May with a 2 week break over Christmas. As we play in a school the hall is sometimes unavailable to us during open evenings and exams, but we will always endeavour to find an alternative venue.Continue Reading
We have entered a Mixed and a Men's team into the North foreland league this season, and Jim is busy scheduling matches. With such a successful summer club and new members joining this is brilliant for our teams. There will be a list of reserves also and with the divisions being so large all of the reserves should be getting games too. If this momentum continues we are hopeful to enter a Composite again and possibly a Ladies team for next season....but that's me just getting excited and carried away 🙂
It is going to be a great season and I want to welcome all of our new players. It is £100 to join for the season and this includes your BE membership and also a club t-shirt (if you're a new member) to wear for matches. This is not compulsory but it is nice when a team are all unified. Please contact us for details of how to pay.
If you haven't already, please find us on Facebook as Mike will regularly post updates about halls/timings etc and also his famous match reports accompanied with flattering match pictures. Also, if you take any photos of club nights, please forward them to me so Emily can add them onto our newly updated website.
