Further Information regarding Lunchtime Badminton
This page contains additional information about playing - if you feel there is anything that could be added here - please let us know.
Shuttles and shuttle costs (updated March 2011)
We play with feather shuttles. A player will volunteer to supply the shuttles for both courts for the whole match and collect £1 from each person. Please remember to bring £1 with you for the game. The correct money would be greatly appreciated (ie. no £50 notes!).
We always require people to supply the shuttles. You can buy 12 shuttles from Sean for £13.50, or find your own source. The finances should work something like this... approximately 3 shuttles are used in a game of doubles playing for 1 hour. This means a tube of shuttles should return £16 (taking into account the owners £1 contribution).
Racquets
Racquets are available for hire at the ISE (Sports Centre).
Playing Standard
There is a wide range of playing standards. Some in the group play in the Dundee Division 2 leagues and some are just picking up the racquet again. The games are competitive, but not too serious.
Beginners and Starting Again
We hope to encourage newcomers. If you want to test the water, please ask which day would be suitable for you to play.
Social Events
We normally organise a post-christmas event which comprises a visit to the Scottish National Badminton Championships in Perth during the first weekend of February followed by a meal and drinks.
