West Mercia Badminton Club's Christmas Celebration at Yeliz Blossom Room Turkish Grill Restaurant

The 2023 West Mercia Badminton Club Mixed Tournament was held on the 20th September 2023

A massive congratulations to all of our 7 teams that competed in the Worcestershire Badminton league during the 2022/23 season With determination and sheer hard work we won the Veterans Division 1, Mixed Division 1 and Combined Division 1 titles and were Runners Up in the Mens Division 1 and Combined Division 1 (2nd team) leagues A huge THANK YOU to all members that played for all our teams and we're certainly looking forward to lifting those trophies at the Worcestershire Badminton Association AGM later on this year

Although the Government announced that 19th July would see all legal restrictions on social contact being removed, West Mercia Badminton Club has been unable to resume club nights due to the sports hall at Hindlip remaining closed. Well, at long last we have some good news! 1. On Friday 3rd September club nights will resume again from 7.30pm until 10.30pm. They will then continue, as before, every Wednesday and Friday. 2. Club nights will continue to be held in the sports hall at West Mercia Constabulary Police Headquarters, Hindlip Hall. 3. It is the Committee's intention that the 2021/22 membership fees will remain the same as 2019/20 and will be prorated due to the shorter playing year - this will be discussed at our EGM and subsequently confirmed if agreed. 4. We will resume the peg board system on club nights.

Due to our County being put into Tier 2 after lockdown finishes on 2nd December and the extra restrictions being imposed as per the latest guidance from Badminton England, we feel that it wouldn't be viable or safe to start our club night sessions again until these restrictions are lifted Therefore we will review the situation when it changes and let you know accordingly. In the meantime please keep safe

Due to the temporary closure of leisure facilities in England as part of national month long lock down, Droitwich Leisure Centre will close at normal closing time on Wednesday 4th November 2020 for a minimum of 4 weeks This therefore means that we will have to suspend our current Wednesday club nights with the final one taking place this Wednesday (4th November) until further notice Once we have any further updates we will of course notify you Keep safe and we look forward to seeing you all again in the near future

Badminton England have today issued new guidelines around the updated COVID-19 local restrictions As our area falls in to 'Tier 1 - medium' our reinstated Wednesday club night in Droitwich will remain unaffected and will continue as normal Should there be any further updates we will, of course, let you know
