Weekly Socials
Whether you're here for a social swing and miss, or looking to reignite your badminton play days, our weekly social is the perfect place to get your badminton fix. From backyard beginners who are starting out to tournament players, we've created spaces and opportunities for all player levels.
We're all about increasing female participation in badminton and we ask all members and guests to be inclusive and engage in fair play. If you used to play badminton or looking to give it a go, then we welcome you to join us. Come on your own or find a friend you can drag out. There’s always a friendly face to welcome you on court.
Sports drinks, snacks, racket restringing and badminton equipment is available at our badminton venues.
Most weeks a group of players will head to the pub afterwards for drinks and dinner. All are welcome to join (yes even the newbies). It’s a bit of a weekly highlight.
