20.01.2022 Badminton and table tennis will be hopefully starting up soon depending on restrictions on use of hall and interest, firstly for kids then adults. If you are interested message Andrea on this post. We are also looking for a reasonable condition table tennis fold up table if you have one you no longer want and would like to donate to a good cause. Gormandale had 4 badminton teams many years ago going back to Gordon Aitken, Margaret Lane, Blondie Thexton, Trice Thexton, Leonie, Tricia, Trevor and the Whykes family, Young family, Rouse and Mackrell family and Ramsay family to name a few. Lots of fun and fitness.
