Due to the lack of Ladies Cairns have decided to withdraw their Mixed team from the Mixed Doubles League.

The clubs affected have been informed and League Republic and the Handbook have been changed.

Unfortunately Eaglesham have decided to withdraw from the 1st Division Doubles League. Hopefully they will return next season.

It is with great regret that the Balloted/Vets Tournament is cancelled due to lack of entries. There were only two gents entered the Balloted and one gents couple in the Veteran gents event, all from the same club. Let us hope that next season, once there are more people back playing badminton, we will be able to revive this event.

Hi all, please note that Uddingston have withdrawn their Mixed team from the League and Swan/Jack Trophies. They hope to be able to continue with their Doubles team. Clubs affected will be informed.

Please note that these tournaments will be held on 13th November 2021 and entry forms are available on the website, or you can enter online, or you can enter through your club entry form sent to the club secretary.

Follow the Association on Facebook (@glasgowchurchesbadminton) and Twitter (@Glasgchurchbadm).

Hi all, the fixture lists and cups for season 2021/22 have been published on League Republic and are also shown in the online Handbook for the same season. In other words the Website has been updated for the coming season 2021/22.

If anyone notices any mistakes/different information please contact Jim McCulloch.

Please not that for some Match Secretaries I am awaiting confirmation that I can publish their contact details in the Handbook on the Web.

5 clubs attended the AGM and the motion to extend the season if necessary was carried so, at the discretion of the Executive Committee matches can be arranged after 31st March 2022.

The Executive Committee have to try to fill two posts that were not filled at the AGM. These were Minute Secretary and Media Convenor.

Please note that the Association’s AGM will be held on Thursday 2nd September 2021 at 7.30pm in the Badminton Scotland Board Room, 40 Bogmoor Place, Glasgow G51 4TQ.

Subject: Surrey County BA Masters Teams Tournament – August 2021

Dear All

I hope you are well and looking forward to being back on court.

Once again Surrey County BA Masters Committee plans to run the Masters Teams Tournament on Saturday 28^th & Sunday 29^th August 2021 (August Bank Holiday weekend) at Wimbledon Racquets & Fitness Club.  I am writing to ask if you and some of your badminton friends will be interested in taking part and should be very grateful if you would let me know if you wish to be involved.  Please let me have your reply by 15^th May.

Each team’s squad can consist of 8 players (4 men and 4 ladies); all the players must be over 40 years of age.  For every match you may use only 6 players (3 men and 3 ladies), and the total age of these 6 players must be a minimum of 310 years.  Team members do not have to belong to the same club or even to the same county.  Teams will play at least 5 matches during the course of the weekend; each match will consist of 3 mixed doubles, 3 ladies doubles and 3 men’s doubles, playing one game to 21 points.  If you cannot find 6 players to form a team, please contact us and we will do our best to assist you with this.

The team entry fee is likely to be in the region of £240 per team of 6 (£40.00 per player) which includes not only a weekend of badminton but also a buffet and entertainment on the Saturday night.  Guests may be invited to the buffet and entertainment on payment of an additional fee.  The entry form, giving further details, will be sent out in due course.

Very best wishes

Marion (Eyles)
