Welcome back. It's been a while...

... but that doesn't mean the Club & it's members haven't been socially active & engaged.  Badminton continues to take place every Tuesday at Cannock leisure centre - none of us seem to be getting hugely more skillful, but we remain enthusiastic!  The Club has maintained it's monthly 'more formal' social event, while members, in varying permutations, get together with 'non-racquet sport' mates for curries & breakfasts, quizzes & snooker, across each week.

We remain encouraging of potential new members getting in touch to arrange a pop-in visit & introduction.

We are finding maintaining our social media presence a tad difficult (notice the gap since the last post), but will try harder to get more folk involved in that element of Club activity.

So, what specifically have we been up to?  A whole bunch o'stuff... 

January:  we plodded along with all that extra Christmas heft, basically using all our efforts just to play badz each week - I ain't saying there weren't a good few curries downed over the month, but I only had one!

February:  the Annual BDBC Lunch - we love a carvery & an afternoon's blether!

March:  along to the All England Open Championships in Birmingham, on a rather balmy spring day, with stunning 2nd round play.

  











... this is just for Rob, who didn't make it to the All England, but might need to feed his Lin Dan mancrush

April:  guess which Badminton Club went out for lunch & stuffed their faces with mixed meats & massive puddings?

May:  a little out of our comfort zone this month, as 7 members piled into a taxi for the 16 mile journey to RAF Museum Cosford.  Another grand day out, especially for The Two Robs our aerospace wonks.  Surprisingly enough, a wee motorcycle seemed to be the group's favourite exhibit.

June:  'twas total balls this month... an afternoon's 10 pin bowling in Bloxwich.  There's a whole heap of room for improvement - Gav has great hand-eye co-ordination but gets a tad too excited, while Shaun began with a serious first game win, then went on to win the Not-a-single-pin-down Trophy.  Good fun though...

 

You'll be hearing from us again, very soon.  So, watch this space...
