Sidmouth Badminton Club return to action on Wednesday September 6, for what all connected with the club hope will be another enjoyable and successful campaign, writes Grace Williams.

Last season, Sidmouth ladies were the Division 3A champions, winning the league by one point after a thrilling final match against runners-up Chulmleigh. The ladies went along to the Exeter and District Badminton League Presentation Evening to collect the trophy, and are likely to be promoted to Division 2 for this season.

The club are very keen to attract new members and are able to offer an excellent mix of both social and competitive badminton.

Each season, men’s, ladies’ and mixed teams from the club play in various divisions of the Exeter and District Badminton League, resulting in competitive matches across all levels.

So, if you’re new to the area and are looking for a club, come long and have a game! Or, if you play badminton, but are not yet part of a club, why not drop in and see what it’s all about?

It is always good fun to play against different people, and you may find that the club environment is the place for you to improve and take your badminton to the next level. You will be assured of a warm welcome.

Club nights take place at Sidmouth Sports Centre, and run from 8pm to 10pm on Wednesday evenings from September through to the end of March, 2018.

The club will once again be running their popular club tournaments, and also arranging a number of social events during the season.

By joining Sidmouth Badminton Club, you automatically become affiliated to Badminton England, and are able to enjoy all the associated benefits that this can bring.
