We have put together a guide to all of these changes in line with the Government, Badminton England and Farringdon School to keep everyone safe.Contact me for a copy.

If you have any concerns or queries please contact myself by mail at:- mikeiveson@aol.com

I Thought I’d let you know how our Satellite Club is getting on.

We have been going for 8 weeks now and our numbers have increased to 8 players.

They have all improved and 3 are attending our Premier Club and seam to be enjoying it.

I’ll try and keep you up to date as the weeks pass by. November 2019.
