National Badminton Week : 16 - 24 October 2010

National Badminton Week is happening a little earlier this year from October 16 to October 24 which doesn't give us a huge amount of time to organise something.

We had a really good Open Night last year to play our part in the activities that were happening nationwide and we would be hoping to match if not better that success this year.

So can everyone get their thinking caps on and come up with some ideas to pitch to the committee so we can start to get preparations underway.

All suggestions gratefully received to boylebadminton@gmail.com or in person at the club on Monday or Thursday night!

Thanks,
Liz

Condolences

The club extends deepest sympathy to Audrey and Corrina Delaney of Strokestown Badminton Club on the death of their father Liam last Saturday 11th September.

Audrey and Corrina both played alongside members of Boyle Badminton Club on the County Roscommon team last year.

First Night of the Season

We started back last night in Boyle Sports Complex and had a fantastic turnout for the first session of the season. I think there were 22 players signed in and quite a few were new to the club. It was a very encouraging start to this new year.

For anyone who didn't get back last night, we will continue to play on Monday nights from 9.30-11.30pm and on Thursdays from 9pm-11pm, coaching is offered for anyone who'd like to avail of it.

It was lovely to hear some of those who hadn't been there before say how much they loved meeting everyone and that they had thoroughly enjoyed the coaching and the badminton.

For those of us more seasoned players we realise how important it is to encourage our new members and spend some time getting to know them each night, we wouldn't have the successful club Boyle has become without them.

Almost there...

Only four more days and then we're back to business in Boyle....

Club resumes at 9.30pm on Monday night, 6th September. Our nights will be the same as before, Mondays from 9.30 - 11.30pm and Thursdays from 9 - 11pm.

Having closed out last season with our biggest membership for many years, three County titles, a Connaught title and a silver in All-Ireland Div 2, we have a great base to build from and so much to look forward to as a club....

...so bring on 2010/11 - lets see what we can do with it!!

Deepest Sympathy

The club extends deepest sympathy to Ruth Hogg and family on the death in England of her brother Sean.

R.I.P.

We're back....

Badminton will resume in Boyle Sports Complex on Monday 6th September at 9.30pm.

Our club nights will remain as they have always been, Mondays from 9.30 to 11.30pm and Thursdays from 9pm to 11pm.

We hope to see all our members return for another season and hopefully a few new faces too.

Return to Play..

It looks like our new season may start up again on Monday 6th September in Boyle Sports Complex at 9.30pm. Once this date has been confirmed I will post notice here, it will also appear in local notes in the paper.

Having spoken with a few members already I know many, like myself, are looking forward to getting back to the courts again!
