The new
season 2008/9 will start on the 9th September. The first matches
start early this year, so turn up and play for your place in a team.
The
Club has had an average season, which has just ended. The Midway
"A" team did not win enough matches to stay in the Premier
Division but we were not bottom. The
"B" & "C" teams will stay in Division 3.
The Rally teams ended near the bottom of their respective Divisions but
we will not know about possible relegation until the Manchester League
AGM in September.
The
AGM was held on the 8th May at the Houldsworth Golf Club in Reddish.
The new Committee will meet early in September during the new season.

We
shall be running the same teams as last year. Three teams in the
Stockport League (Divisions 1, 3 & 3) and Two teams in the
Manchester League (One in Division 1 and one in Division 2). A
list of fixtures can be found on the Fixtures page.
Membership
fees will be increased from last year, as Court Fees have been increased
by the School. Hence, they will be £90 for full fee paying
members and from £45 for students. Match fees will be £3.00 for adults
and £1.50 for juniors and students. Visitors fees will increase to £5.00.
As most clubs, we
are experiencing a shortage of ladies in the club. All members are asked
to encourage any friends who are interested in playing badminton to come
along, to increase our membership.
Finally,
will everybody give/send their contact details to Ruth Williams, (Sec)
so that she can make sure they are up to date and are a complete record
of all our members details? Please send your postal address, phone
numbers and e-mail address. The details will be sent to all members
to make sure everyone gets it, so apologies if you get it twice. If you
notice that someone is missing from the e-mail list and you have their
address, please forward it onto them.
Note:
It
has to be agreed by both Stockport and Manchester Leagues, that the
scoring system for matches will remain the same as last season.
Games will be to 15 points and you can only score, when your side
serves.
