Dear Otley Badminton Club Member
A warm welcome to our 2019-20 season! The season gets underway with our first social play session on Monday 2nd September, starting at 7.30pm and finishing at 9.45pm at Prince Henry’s Grammar School. Timings for the sessions this season remain unchanged and are as follows:
Mondays 7.30 – 9.45pm Fridays 7.00 – 9.15pm
Dates of sessions for the whole season are shown below. Note that due to School holidays and a School event, there are certain Mondays and Fridays across the season where there is no social play. We have secured additional sessions on some Tuesdays in school half terms and Easter holiday this season. This is to help fulfil our league fixtures and ensure space for our American Tournament, a fun evening of play open to every member. Members will be informed nearer times if Tuesday sessions are also available for social play.

Any member from 2018 - 19 season not paying by this time will be deemed to have lapsed their membership, unless special arrangements have been made with our Treasurer, David Clegg. Please pay fees, ideally by bank transfer or alternatively to David by cheque (made payable to Otley Badminton Club) or cash.
Match fees for this season will be £4.00 per match both home and away for any league player. Visitor’s fees will be £5 per night adult and £3 for under 18s. This will be deducted from the membership fee if a player subsequently joins.
