Bracknell league introduces the option of a scorer for league games. Must be agreed by both teams before the match begins and only has authority on the score which they call to the teams - NO authority/decision making/umpiring/refereeing on whether or not a point is won or lost i.e. the players agree who won the rally as normal and the scorer is made aware of their decision.

Both the Reading Badminton Assocaition and the Bracknell & District Badminton Association have now held their 2007 AGMS and have voted to adopt the new rally point scoring method for the 2007/8 season.

All members are invited to the 2nd Annual General Meeting of the Club which will be held at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bracknell, Berkshire in the bar/cafe area on Monday 11th June 2007 starting at 7.30pm (immediately prior to Summer Club).

Summer Club - Starting 1st May 2007

Despite much effort in trying to find a location with 4 courts on a Tuesday for the whole of the summer the best combination that has been found is:-

Part 1 - Mondays at Bracknell Leisure Centre from 14th May 2007 through 25th June 2007
3 or 4 courts 8.30pm to 10.30pm

Part 2 - Tuesdays at The Holt School from 3rd July 2007 through the summer to September
4 courts 8.00pm to 10.00pm

The Committee appreciates that this is not ideal but the Holt is unavailable due to exams in May and June.

NB: There is also 1 final session at The Holt on Tuesday 1st May 2007 7.30pm til 10.00pm

Fees for Summer Club -

£55 all sessions (16 club nights) - existing club members only
£35 Holt sessions only (10 club nights) - existing club members only
 
£65 all sessions (16 club nights) - non-members fee 

£5 per week visitor fee (if you don't sign up) – existing club... more

Due to a healthy membership and restrictions in court time, unfortunately we are unable to accept new members at present. We do, however, have a number of dates during the season when we have been able to book additional courts. So if you would still like to try us out, please feel free to come along on the dates below when we will have more court time to make it worth your while:

28/11/2006
19/12/2006
13/02/2007
10/04/2007
24/04/2007

Note that our summer club starts on Tuesday 15th May 2007. We will have more courts throughout the summer and so you would be welcome to join us at any time after this date when there will be less pressure on court time.

If you would like to come along, we would be grateful if you would let us know when you would like to visit. Please notify anyone listed on the ‘Contacts’ page of this site. Hope to see you soon!

Notice from Surrey Badminton Association:

The resolution put to the EGM on 31/8/06 was defeated.
Therefore the Surrey League and Cup Competitions about to commence will be played using only the new rally point scoring system.

Any Surrey League or Cup matches played using the old scoring system
will be declared null and void.

President and Chairman
