No Christmas Party Sessions 18th Dec

We are disappointed to have to report that Harborough Leisure Centre has unfortunately scheduled construction works in the new ‘Arena’ hall for the 18th December. This was the date of the club’s Christmas party.

Due to work on the floor in the main hall, we had already been relocated to a separate room in the Leisure Centre for our party food, with our traditional friendly and fun games of badminton due to take place in the new Arena (which has replaced the dome). We have now been informed that the Arena is not available.

Without some badminton, the club’s coaches and committee feel that the evening would lose its appeal, so we have cancelled all the three sessions (i.e. 4-5pm, 5-6pm & 6-7pm) and the party on 18th December 2024. Instead, we will look to run an event where family and friends can participate in the New Year.

Due to the cancellation, an adjustment will be made to the payment schedule at the end of the season to compensate for this lost session (and the other four lost sessions). For further information on this, please see the related email from the club.

Very best regards and season’s greetings from the coaching and committee team.

Christmas Party – 15th Dec

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.
