We are again offering our Pay As You Play junior badminton sessions during August on the following dates:
There will be two sessions as follows:
The sessions will be £4 per session and non-members (e.g. school friends) are welcome.
For more details, please see the poster below.
Please see the latest LBA newsletter below for details about what’s been happening within Badminton in Leicestershire.
The trophy presentation evening took place on 4th May 2022 and Harborough Leisure Centre. Congratulations to all the winners/runners up of the recent club tournament and to those who were presented with most improved and outstanding club member awards. A couple of pictures from the evening are included below.
It is the time again to let you know about our plans for the Trophy Presentation Evening on Wednesday 4th May 2022.
We try to do something every year. However, the last time we were able to enjoy a Trophy Presentation celebration was two years ago as COVID put paid to internal tournament events.
You may remember that we invited parents to come along to the Christmas Party event in December 2021 and were encouraged to join in with some fun badminton and larking around.
The fun stuff will take place before we serve the food, which will be a change this year to hot dogs with veg sticks plus a soft drink for the youngsters. The kind members of the club committee will also lay on plenty of crisps, nibbles, and cakes. What’s not to like?
It all starts at 4pm in the main hall at the Harborough Leisure Centre and will finish by 7pm.
The presentation will be from 5pm to 5:30pm with medals presented to all the winners and runner-ups of both the Girls & Boys U10’s; U12’s; U14’s; U16’s; U18’s Single and Level Doubles events. In addition three trophies for the most improved player in respect of either 4-5pm or 5-6pm or 6-7pm sessions. The annual trophy for the “Outstanding Club Member” will also be presented.
The food will be served at 5.30pm. Please either complete and return the form provided or RSVP to Lynda (07901 935105) confirming the member’s name, whether a meal is required and if a photo is allowed.
As before, we really don’t expect you to stay for the whole thing, but we would be delighted to see you.
The Leicestershire Badminton Association (LBA) is running a junior badminton tournament on 20th March 2022 at Babington Academy, Leicester.
This is a non-county singles event, which is a great opportunity for new players to badminton to experience a tournament. The exclusion of county players really gives a greater opportunity for players from the club to acheive good results.
Notes:
For full details, please see the entry form below. The entry form with player’s name and the £5.00 entry fee should be returned to the tournament organiser by Thursday 17th March 2022 (NOT TO RAY PHIPKIN AT THE CLUB).
The club committee invites all parents, carers, volunteers and memebrs to the eighth AGM of Harborough LC Junior Badminton Club to be held on Tuesday 22nd February 2022 commencing at 7:30pm.
The AGM will be held at The Three Swans, 21 High Street, Market Harborough, Leicestershire, LE16 7NJ and we will be located in the small ground floor area to the rear of premises, adjacent to the carpark.
The meeting will be hosted by the current club chairperson, Steve Chapman.
All committee member positions are up for election/re-election with a current vacancy for Parent Representative.

Season’s greetings to all our players and parents.
It’s evident from the shops and the advertisements on TV that Christmas is already upon us. So what better time to let you know about our plans for some festivities at Harborough LC Juniors on Wednesday 15th December.
We try to do something every year. However, the last time we were able to enjoy a festive celebration was two years ago as Covid put paid to last year’s coaching and festivity plans.
You may remember that in 2019 we invited parents to come along and join in with some fun badminton and larking around. We intend to do that again as everyone appeared to enjoy the light-hearted challenges that included cramming far too many people onto one court and a curious version of the game that involves kneeling down when you miss a shot – as if that’s going to make it any easier. I won’t be asking Badminton England for clarification of those rules.
The fun stuff will take place before we serve the food, which will be the ever-popular individual boxes of pizza and chips with a soft drink for the youngsters. The kind members of the club’s committee also lay on plenty of crisps, nibbles, mince pies and cakes. What’s not to like?
For our young players, this will also be the last coaching session for the year.
It all starts at 4.00pm in the main hall at the Harborough Leisure Centre and will finish by 7.00pm. The food will be served at 5.30pm. As before, we really don’t expect you to stay for the whole thing, but we would be delighted to see you.
Please see the invite link below and RSVP to Lynda by 1st December.
Steve Chapman
Assistant Coach & Club Chairman
As per the current Government and Badminton England guidance we are able to commence sessions for season 2021-22 as normal at Harborough Leisure Centre from Wednesday 25th August 2021.
We are now able to offer all three sessions at the usual times listed below:
The sessions will be run under current Badminton England guidelines, which include:
Many current members of the club attended the Christmas Party on 19th December 2018.
There was also a presentation of the new club tournament trophies to some of the current and previous winners in attendance.
The club trophies will now be on display in the club trophy cabinet, outside the sports hall at Harborough Leisure Centre.
Below are some photos from the club tournament presentation evening that took place on 18th April at Harborough Leisure Centre.
