Hello,
Just a quick note in case you didn’t know, there will be no badminton this evening as Gateshead Leisure Centre is not open on Bank holidays.
I just realised the site calendar mentioned there was a session tonight, this has been removed but might take some time to update.
Thanks and see you all next Monday!
The new Gateshead Sport website launched yesterday (Wednesday18th April) to signify the 100 day countdown to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The website will also include news updates, upcoming events, and of course a countdown clock to the start of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games!
You will also be able to find useful links and information including, grants for clubs and athletes, sports coach education, how to become a sports volunteer and much more.

Hello everyone, hope you’re enjoying the sun? Following the meeting on Monday there are a few key things to announce.
An idea has popped up, should each peg have a coloured dot depending on ability?
This would allow people to choose fairer games. It would be a simple 3 colour system for beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Please vote with your answer and remember all voting is anonymous.
Should we colour the pegs according to ability

Loading ...Hello all, just a quick reminder that Gateshead Badminton Club are meeting again on Monday 8-10pm as usual at Gateshead Leisure Centre.
Thanks to everyone who turned up last time, it was another bumper crowd with over 30 people. Also, John Tetlow has asked us to mention… …for anyone that is interested there is another club that plays on a friday at Thomas Hepburn School in Felling from 7.15pm to 8.45pm, all welcome, cost £3.50 Anyone that wants details either ask John on monday or email jt_kcc@yahoo.co.uk
Next Monday 5th March at 5pm – 6pm there is an Back2Badminton event at Gateshead Leisure Centre . The event will host badminton games for all abilities, beginners are welcome and equipment supplied if needed.
Last night we had 32 players on 4 courts and we received feedback that unfortunately people were sitting off quite awhile between games.
David offered the idea of lowering the score if we had lots of players. This would allow people to play shorter games more often.
Please let us know if you would like to change the current setup which is:
I think 19 players is a fair number to base this poll on, leave a comment if you have any suggestions and email me (Gary@GatesheadBadminton.org.uk) if you have any other suggestions.
If we get over 19 people should we lower the game score for the first hour?
