Shuttles Junior Badminton Club

Hi all,

I hope you’re all enjoying a great summer!

I wanted to confirm that Shuttles Badminton is not returning until next week 9th September 2022.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us via our messenger service.

Jon, Ben and Steph

First and foremost, we can’t wait for Shuttles to recommence tonight and to see you all later at 6pm!

There is, however, another announcement that we’d like to make before the restart which is due to work commitments Dale has had to step down as one of our head coaches.
Not only is Dale a great friend of ours but he’s also a fantastic coach who I’m sure will be greatly missed by all of the players as well as ourselves.
We’d like to place on record our thanks to Dale for all of his assistance over the past few years and bringing a smile to the members faces - other than when he occasionally brought his ‘A game’ out against some of our older players at the end of the session!

But with the sad news of Dale’s departure comes some positive news, which is that Ben and I are now going to be joined by another excellent coach, Steph Stockwell.
Steph has been coaching for over a decade and is the current Head Coach for the Under 12 Hertfordshire county squad, she also plays at county standard herself, so she’s a great addition to our coaching family.
Steph will be there tonight and no doubt some of our regulars will already be familiar with her.

In terms of Covid protocols, we’d like to ask the players not to attend if they have the recognisable symptoms, or have a member of their household who currently has the virus. Hand sanitiser will be provided and we’d ask the players to have a ‘quick gel’ when they enter the hall and every now and then throughout the session.

Once again, we’re really looking forward to seeing some new and old faces and can’t wait to get started tonight!

***Important Notice***

To all players and parents,

Whilst we were due to reopen the doors to Shuttles Badminton Club on the 5th November 2021, we have been made aware by several players and parents that they won’t be able to attend due to it being the same evening as Fireworks Night.

We’d like the first week back to be the best it can be, so due to the clash with multiple firework displays and the subsequent reduction in attendees, we have decided to delay the return by one week.
We will therefore return on 12th November 2021.

We can’t wait to see you all on the 12th November for when Shuttles Badminton Club recommences.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may has cause.

Stay safe and we’ll see you in a fortnight,
Jon and Ben

Dear Shuttles players and parents,

First of all, we’d like to apologise for not confirming our plans sooner, however, we wanted to make sure that we were going to return to the court when it was safe to do so.

We are pleased to announce that we will be returning after the October Bank Holiday, 5th November 2021.

We are really looking forward to the restart of Shuttles and we can’t wait to see some familiar faces as well as some new ones!

If you have any queries or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us on Messenger.

Look forward to seeing you all very soon,
Jon and Ben
