The semi final of The Mallet Cup will be held on Friday 12th April and the finals on Friday the 19th April. the venue will be confirmed at the next meeting. (Tuesday 6th February) Following a discussion it was decided that the cost of the Semi’s (Hall hire and Shuttles) will be shared between the 2 participating teams and the Finals will be paid for By the Association. We ask that ALL League and Mallet Cup trophies be returned to Clayton ASAP. You can find his contact information on the Committee Page.

I spoke about advertising Badminton better on the Island, Flyers, photography, etc. This being said I will be publishing events ahead of time, hopefully giving the general public enough notice to pop in and watch some games, hopefully further driving the sports popularity.

There will soon be a further post in the County Badminton section with information about the goings on with all county teams.

League Season 20/21

by Mike Westin League News, News, Uncategorized

Hi all,
I Hope this letter finds you well and coping with the uncertain times we have been through
and are facing.
As we have seen with a lot of sports lately, we believe we should start to make plans for the
return of league badminton. These plans will always be subject to change and in accordance
with the Government and badminton England guidelines.
As you will be aware, in normal times each club should be advising me of the number of
teams they will be entering by the end of this Sunday 30th August. This will not be
happening and I will now advise you of the new structure for this season.
As a committee we have made the decision to delay the forthcoming season. So, to cope
with the reduced timescale we will set the amount of divisions to 4 or 5 (depending on the
number of teams entering) thus resulting in less matches to play per team.

Dates for the Forthcoming Season
This year’s season will begin, week commencing Monday 18th January 2021 (Guidelines
allowing).
I will be needing the number of teams each club will be entering into the 20/21 season by
13th December 2020.
I will be emailing out club details forms in the coming months but I do understand that some
clubs may struggle with details as they still have little idea of when they will be allowed to
return to normal play.
I do ask for all clubs to contact me if there is any change to their current hall availability
status so I can continue to plan for the forthcoming season.
Many thanks,
Clayton Simpson.
(League Secretary)
