Hi Vaughn,

Glad you enjoyed it - you're obviously to welcome to come along if you're ever in the area again.
Let us know if you're organising a tournament again next year as the club are talking about entering if possible.

Best wishes,

Paul

Hello, just thought I'd say Hi, had a great time when I visited your club during March while I was doing some work at the All England.

Cheers, Vaughn, S.Wales.

Yes, there will be club nights throughout the Easter break. See you there!

Will there be any club nights during Easter?

We're still trying to finalise the details of the trip to Germany.
The singles tournament will be divided into 2 gradings for the Mens. The Grade A is for Solihull Men's 1st & 2nd divisions - county 1st & 2nd teamers will be excluded. The 2nd Grade is for Solihull Men's 3rd & 4th teams.
We have also entered ourselves into the 25 Shot Challenge where we hope to win some tickets for the All England.

Really looking forward to the trip to Germany.
Also heard about a singles' tournament. Are there any further details for this?

Firstly, a Happy New Year to you All!
A number of you have been asking about this year's Germany trip- I'll be sending out an email very shortly to gauge interest.
Please take a look at the calendar for up & coming events

I'd just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Hopefully I'll see some of you next week at one of the Little Bow Tournaments or the extra Club Night on the Friday. Remember, there won't be any further badminton at Langley until the week beginning the 7th January.

Andy & Wendy from Maurice Robinson will be coming up on a Wednesday before Xmas. I will try to get an idea of the numbers wishing to go to Germany before Xmas. As last year, I will look for confirmed numbers in February if not before.
Congratulations have to go to our two Mixed teams who both won on Friday. A great 5-4 win against KRS & a similar win against Activ Sports

The demo event with Andy Hartley from Maurice Robinsons went really well. When are we likely to do such an event again?
When do we need to let you know if we're wish to take part in the German tournament next year?

Great to see so many social events & activities at the club!!
My thanks goes to the committee for all their hard work.

Entries on a par with previous years, a couple down in the MS, but otherwise about the same. Standard getting higher all the time.

Yes, the shirts are finally here & I'm starting to hand them out now. Hopefully you should all have them by the end of the week.
Langley - the floor is being laid as we speak & if all goes to plan, we'll be back in Langley for the first week of October.
Junior Group - it looks very promising as we hope to have a confirmed slot that we can keep on a Monday at Langley.

Congratulations to the team that brought the Sprudel Cup home!!
Well done!

The shirts for those people going on the trip to Germany should be with me today.
The shirts for the rest of the club will be ready by the 1st September; the date of the Dave Clarke Tournament.

When will the club shirts be ready?

We should hopefully have more news in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, we've decided to run a junior group on Fridays from 6pm-7pm at Solihull College with 5 courts available. It is hoped that we may be able to transfer this group to Langley school once the hall becomes available. This group could then run from 6pm-7:30pm.

No, not yet. We will check with the school again in a couple of weeks to see how things are progressing.

Any further news about Langley?

Further to meetings with Langley, we can now confirm that Langley school will not be available until the beginning of September. We are doing our utmost to provide alternative club nights. Please keep looking on the website for further updates.

We are unsure yet as to what's happening. We're hoping that we will know more after a lettee's meeting on Tuesday night.
Please keep an eye on the website for latest updates.

Any idea when the hall will be able to open up again?

Great Little Bow Tournament - I think we should do it more often!

Congratulations to the club on winning the Birmingham Men's Division One!!
