Chairman Club Membership 2026/2027
Recently the committee had discussions following the price hike in shuttles, and with the new season just on the horizon conversations have been around setting a Club Membership that hopefully will keep us sustainable.
​
We could not forsee the price hike in shuttles last year when we reduced the membership fees, infact its a 40% rise in some areas which means our annual membership of £15.00 will simply not cover the costs much of which wil be needed for shuttles now that Academy Badminton provides the shuttles for its matchplay.
​
After debate we have agreed that the Club Membership for our Matchplay Clubs should be £20.00 with the Yehlex Cup from outside being the primary fundraiser which is vital for our future.
​
Thank you again everyone for their continued support we are trying hard to deliver a fun and competitive experience catering for everybody. Could I ask that the Club Memebrship fee of £20.00 Per Person is paid by the end of August. This will allow us to pay all of our bills on time and secure shuttlles for the matchpay sessions.

CONGRATULATIONS SALMUNSTER SEASON 3
CHALLENGE CUP CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to Salmunster who beat Quedgeley in the Challenge Cup Final. The event was a very tight finish and went to the very last game played as extra time to decide the winner.
​
Rob Clarke was the only player available on the final day of play for Quedgeley and he really put in a stern performance. The result was always 1 point in it for the 2 hour playing window.
​
Tom Edwards and David Timms fought hard in the final and in the final game David sealed the win for Salmunster.
