Welcome to the 2011-12 season of the Stratford Badminton Club. I hope that everyone has had a great summer and are ready for badminton to begin.
Last season was the busiest, most successful season that the club has experienced in many years. We ended the year with 325 members. The Club hosted six high school tournaments including both the Jr. and Sr. Huron Perth and WOSSA tournaments. Of course, the most demanding experience for our club was the running of the 2011 Canadian Masters Championships. After months of preparation, 215 athletes from around the world enjoyed a memorable and exciting week in April. This tournament was a great success both organizationally and financially. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped throughout this past season.
The season will begin on Sunday October 16 and end Sunday April 29. Our free play Open House will last from Sunday October 16 to Sunday October 23. Please feel free to bring all your friends out to try some badminton. Once again all of our fees will be staying the same as last season. The programs also remain unchanged.
After the Open House week are programs will begin with the U14 junior lessons on Sunday Oct 23rd
We would like to encourage our adult members and juniors in grade 10 and up to play in the Thursday Night Doubles. The Thursday Night Doubles program is intended as an hour of organized competitive doubles for members of all abilities. Many players make up their own matches before and after the organized games. If you are not interested in the competitive Doubles Thursday nights are still a great night to bring out your friends as we can set up 15 courts for the entire evening.
*A reminder that there are always courts available for Open Play, while the all programs are running*
See you on the courts,
Laurie Krempien-Hall, Club President
