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 15^th 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.
