Club sessions will recommence after the Christmas holidays on Wednesday 8th January 2025.
We are disappointed to have to report that the Sports Hall at Harborough Leisure Centre will be unavailable on Wednesday 22nd January 2025 due to NHS blood donation sessions.
Unfortunately, this means there will be no badminton sessions on Wednesday 22nd January 2025.
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.
Our junior sessions are due to restart on Wednesday 27th November following the refurbishment at Harborough Leisure Centre, which we have been informed includes improved lighting and repainting in the sports hall.
We look forward to seeing existing and new junior players back playing badminton regularly.
Harborough Leisure Centre (Everyone Active) has informed the club that, due to their ongoing refurbishments, the sports hall will now be used for exercise classes from 11th October to 8th November 2024.

We plan to return as normal on Wednesday 27th November.
We apologise for the inconvenience, but unfortunately the availability of the sports hall is out of our control. We look forward to seeing all players at the remaining sessions.
