A friendly non-coached Advanced Badminton Turn up and Play No Strings session every Saturday between 11.00 and 13.00 at Gosling Sports Park WGC.

Cost at the moment is £6 per session with a half price for students only at £3 a session.

The age range is 16 years and up (if younger player is of a good enough standard and parents give permission, then we will accept younger than 16 years).

Gosling have just started charging for the car park, as such any player wishing to park at Gosling for say up to 2.5 hours it would cost £2, this either paid by card on a machine in the car park or on-line by the Y-Pay APP.

If players are regular at Gosling I have just managed to get a car park arrangement for my three groups of £60 a year per car registration number, which covers free parking anytime of the registration number you have given and for as long as you like, works out at £5 a month.

Saturday 26th October – A parent and child doubles tournament. A friendly, sociable tournament for any standard, any age.

8 pairs of doubles entered into the parent and child doubles badminton tournament on Saturday evening, 26th October, at GLL Hatfield LC. Each round of games was timed to 5 minutes and pairs had to score as many points as they could in the time. There were some fantastic rallies and although competitive, the games were played in a great spirit.

Ellen and her dad Steve finished 3rd, Farha and her dad Azeem finished second, and the overall winners were Dylan and mum Helen.
