13.01.2022 Hi All, as announced by the State Government today, we fall under the category of "Sports, Community sports training/games - indoors and outdoors." Therefore, we will be closed until December 1st. The roadmap ahead was to open again by December 1st and go back to as it was on November 15th. Fingers crossed that we have positive news and this may be lifted earlier. ... Other news, Glenelg Badminton Club was named club of the month by Badminton Australia! link to the newsletter: http://ow.ly/CJWP50CoKEs Also featured was SA's own Kate Wilson-Smith winning bronze at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in a a tense match.

08.01.2022 Congratulations to all! It was a hard day but everyone gave their 110%. Highlights of last Sunday Club Championship for juniors and seniors competitions.

07.01.2022 Hi All, with the recent announcement by the State Government that from June 19th onwards Step 2 has been further relaxed to allow 75 people, up from 20. The good news is that you don't have to book before hand! We are allowed to have up to 75 people to our social sessions but we are not aiming for this limit as it won't allow everyone a chance to have a decent hit if we had that many people. Instead we have a self imposed limit of 50 players per session to give everyone a fa...ir go. Currently we won't host Friday night sessions until July so come to our Sunday or Monday sessions, look to see you on court soon!

See you at either (or both!) of those sessions.
