New season & fees

Hi All,

Our new season has now started with regular weekly sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays, 7-10pm. View our new fees under the “Joining” tab – as per recent e-mail updates. Please be so kind to complete any outstanding payments for our summer sessions, thank you :-). If you’re interested in joining us, come down for a taster session during our club nights – it helps if you let us know prior via out contact page, but otherwise just turn up and talk to us.

Ta, The Oakbrook Team

End of summer sessions and start of new season

Hi All,

Our weekly Tuesday only summer club nights have now ended – many thanks to our club members and the many new faces who attended! As the school term doesn’t start until Wednesday, 4th September, there will be no session on Tuesday, 3rd Sept. Our first session will be on Friday, 6th September, 7-10pm and then again regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays, 7-10pm. We will post pricing updates for seasonal membership fees once they’re ratified by the committee. Note that from next week we’ll be returning to our normal annual membership plans (with “taster sessions”), instead of the “pay-as-you-go” approach over the summer.

If you enjoyed our sessions, perhaps you’re interested in joining our club? New players are always welcome :-).
Watch this space, and thanks :-)!

Hall flooded on 9th July – no session!

Hi Players, we have just been informed that the hall was flooded this afternoon! The hall is closed tonight on 9th July 2024!!

Apologies

Summer badminton is finally here!

Summer badminton starts this week on Tuesday, 9th July! The sessions will run from 7:45 till 10pm every Tuesday until end of August (Apologies for the late start of the sessions. This is due to limited court availability).
Fee/payment:  £4 per session, payable to our bank account please per direct transfer – details on peg board as usual (please add “summer badminton” reference to transaction).
New players are always welcome 🙂 – we play at King Edward VII Lower School, Darwin Lane, Crosspool, Sheffield, S10 5RG. Just find one of our regulars at the beginning of the session.
Unfortunately we don’t offer racket hire and are unable to accommodate training for beginners.
The best way to get in touch with us is by simply turning up or using our contact details on this website. Thank you 🙂

Summer badminton 2024 start delayed until July

Newsflash: The start of our summer sessions 2024 is unfortunately delayed until the start of July! This is due to staffing issues at the venue beyond our control. We will post an update as soon as the new start date is confirmed (most likely 2nd July).

Ta and see you soon,

The Team

Season ending after 30th April 2024

  Our season is ending very soon! The final club night will be on Tuesday, 30th April 2024. As is usual for the last few years, we will have no sessions during May and then we will start again in June for ‘Summer Badminton’ and run through until the end of August. These sessions will only be on Tuesdays until the season starts again in September. We will be posting another update before the start of the summer sessions together with info about the upcoming AGM.

Thank you all for coming to our club nights throughout the long “rainy season”. We look forward to seeing you in the summer (or indeed autumn). Thanks also to our many team players who won countless rallies, created excitement, and almost won more matches than everybody else ;-).

The badminton season has already returned!

Hi All,
The badminton season has already returned this Tuesday, 5th September. Yes, we’re playing tonight, Friday, 8th September :-).
The usual weekly times are back, which is Tuesdays and Fridays between 19:00 and 22:00.
We are unfortunately raising the prices from £120 to £130 for a returning, full member. This is due to increased venue hire costs.
More will be explained in the minutes to the AGM soon to be posted  – so look out for them 😉
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back – remember team selections will start soon, so best turn up and show off your best moves ;-).
