We are still here!

Hello Everyone!!

The last few weeks have seen the same regulars which has given a good turn around of matches for a couple of hours, but, hello! where is everyone else?!?

Surely Thursday night TV isn't that gripping at the moment,so get up and get out and come along! Its all good fun lets get a regular 12-16 instead of a regular 8-10 which is where we are now.

If any of you have any friends who you haven't yet mentioned the club to, bring them along! We have 2 nicely undisturbed courts now without any people strolling by at about 9pm which has made things even more enjoyable.

We were hoping to get enough people to put together a team that compete in a local league, to help encourage new and younger members of a good quality and get promoted to county league level, which I am confident with the standard of our current players we can achieve quickly anyway - that is a joke by the way - there are no plans to create a team or join a league as we would get an arse whooping most weeks I am sure!

Anyway, back to the point, come back all you flaky people, we love you!

The Season So Far...

The season so far has been a good one. We've had the regular people along, me, Jez, Andrea, Vanessa, Chris, Cathy, Colin, Rob & Sarah with others making the odd appearance, thank you Gordon. I think each game has it's own special way of playing depending who's playing it. You'll always see long shots, whether they're in or out, but there has been a regular occurance of drop shots. That again, whether they go over the net or not, some smart play is coming into our game. Perhaps we should enter into a league! We also have every week the walkers across the courts which makes some people, ie Jez, blow their lid off! That has now changed thanks to Vanessa. We are now booked on courts 3 & 4 and the arrogant people are on court 1. With that, can you please enter by the Activity Hall which is when you walk into the Grange turn left and you'll find a door on the back wall to get to our courts. I suppose if you want to get them angry, walk across their court to pay them back but for the kind hearted people, please use the other route.

Hope to see as many of you as possible this Thursday because some information about the skittles night shall be annouced.

Cheers

Nick

New Courts

As of this week, Thursday 7th October Hammer Badminton Club will be using courts 3 & 4 as opposed to 1 and 2.
This will mean that we should now enter and leave the hall via the side door by the activity hall.
This change of courts was requested due the fact that the 'old dragons' who play on the end court every week have no respect for etiquette when entering or leaving the hall simply walking past when we have games in progress.
For this reason it would be much appreciate if we can all show more respect than they have in the past and ensure we enter via the side door!

Happy Hitting
