Visitors, potential new members and junior members are always welcome at Jesmond Dene Badminton Club. If you are in Newcastle and can play badminton to club standard, why not come along and give us a try? You can either turn up to any club session at the start time of 7.30pm or, if you prefer, contact the Club Secretary (see Contacts) for more details. Please note that the club can be busy on home match nights (see Fixtures) and visitors may wish to avoid these nights as playing time can be restricted. We do maintain a minimum standard within the club and unfortunately we cannot accommodate beginners. Please see the Club page for our policy on potential new members.
We meet twice per week, on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7.30pm to 10pm. From September 2008 we will be playing in the Sports Hall at Central Newcastle High School in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne (map). The Sports Hall is located behind Clayton Park Square, near to the Collingwood Pub. There is an access code for the building, so please try either to arrive promptly at 7.30pm, or contact us (see Contacts) in advance so that we can arrange access for you. The fee for visitors is £5 per session, this is refundable if you join the club.
The main badminton club season runs from September until Easter. If there is sufficient demand after the main season ends at Easter, we may run a summer club on one evening per week (see Contacts).
The club is affiliated to Badminton England through the Northumberland County Badminton Association. We use feather shuttles and have mixed, ladies' and men's teams playing in the Northumberland Badminton League. There is a range of ages and abilities within the existing membership of the club, which has been established for over 20 years.
See the Club page for full details of location, membership, fees etc.
