Badminton Coaching is Back!
1st October 2010
LYC are pleased to offer in collaboration with
Sportopia qualified coaching every Sunday from 3pm to 4pm on court 4. Please note that this coaching will only go ahead if there are a minimum of 4 people confirming the week before by e-mail direct to
lyc@edkung.com. It will be first come first served with a maximum limit of 6 people.
The cost is £5.00 per person for the coaching and if you wish to play on in the session it will cost you a further £5.00 (rather than the usual £6.00). It is important that you confirm by mail yoyr interest so that Sportopia can ensure one of the qualified coaches will be available (Ed/Adrian/JT). If you do confirm, then change your mind or do not show up you will still be liable for the cost as the coach would have been booked out already.
LYC Badminton Tournament
2nd September 2010
The annual LYC badminton tournament will this year take place on Sunday October 24th. Save the day and come back soon for a registration form.
Badminton Coaching
2nd September 2010
Many thanks to Adrian for providing the free badminton coaching in recent weeks. This has been well received by those who received the training, I think we alll agree that it has been beneficial. We are unable to continue the free coaching going forward though. Very affordable coarching will be announced soon to enable those wishing to improve their game through coaching to do so.
Introductory offer for new badminton players
6th June 2010
A special introductory offer has been introduced for all new badminton players. The first session will be £5 instead of the normal £8 for non-members.
FREE Badminton Coaching
27th May 2010
From Sunday May 30th, free coaching will be provided each Sunday. One court will be reserved from 3pm for 1 hour for the coaching which will be conducted by the senior members of the club. Coaching will be organised via email and will be on a first come first served basis.
Shuttles
22nd March 2010
With immediate effect the badminton club is returning to plastic shuttles. While we would like to continue playing with feathers, the cost of these is unsustainable. We don't want to increase the club fees, or reduce the number of courts available, so unfortunately we need to switch back to plastics. Members can bring their own feathers to play with on Sundays if they wish to continue with them.
LYC Success at Hamburg Tournament
27th October 2009
Another successful tournament for LYC! Two golds, a silver and a bronze! Steven won gold at A singles; Xiao and Dawn won gold at B+ mixed; Annie and Dawn won silver at B+ ladies; and Kevin and Max won bronze at B+ doubles.
We were very close to winning further medals too: Azri and Neil narrowly missed out on A mens final in 3 close sets, then again narrowly missed out on Bronze. Also, Robert narrowly missed out on the C+ mens final with his "blind date", before being edged out of bronze.
Feather Shuttles
1st September 2009
From 20 September, we will be playing with feather shuttles instead of plastic ones. We have secured a supply of an excellent quality shuttle and we are confident that this will enhance the enjoyment and competitiveness of Sunday play. We will need to monitor shuttle usage and plastic shuttles will continue to be available for those who would prefer to use them.
Membership Fees
1st September 2009
The LYC membership fee will be charged from 1st September for all members. If you have already paid the fee within the last year then you still need to re-new your membership but we will not charge you the full £8. There will be a pro-rata charge depending on when you paid within the last year. This means that all memberships will become renewable on 1st September every year for all members and is very much in line with the process followed by most sports clubs. It will also be much easier for us to administer!
