Beeston Valley Badminton Club is a popular badminton club located in Beeston Valley, New Zealand. The club caters to both league and intermediate social players of doubles badminton.
With approximately 40 members, the club offers year-round play at Chilwell Olympia, a renowned sports venue in the area. Regular social events are organised, providing an opportunity for members to connect and enjoy the sport in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Visitors are always welcome to join the club and can get in touch with the membership secretary for more information. However, due to the recent influx of new members and limited courts availability, the club is currently closed to new visitors. But they are encouraged to check again in the summer when the club may be open for new members.
To ensure organised play, all players, both members, and visitors, are required to pre-book their sessions through the Teamo platform. Contactless payments are also mandatory for all session fees.
The club's management team consists of dedicated individuals who oversee various club activities. Kathryn Britton, the Membership Secretary, manages membership inquiries and related matters. Caroline Bartliff serves as the Club Secretary, and Chris Pearson acts as the Chairman, overseeing shuttle coordination and managing the club's Twitter account. Mark Ransom serves as the Treasurer, responsible for the club's finances, website administration, and app management.
Membership fees for the 2023/24 winter season are set at 30, with additional fees for coached sessions, club nights, and matches. In summer (May-September), pay-as-you-play options are available, with the same fees for coached sessions and club nights. All members are required to have an active Badminton England membership.
The club's winter season venue is Chilwell Olympia, where home matches take place on courts 6 and 7. Coaching sessions are held on court 8, while club nights are played on courts 9 and 10. During summer, club nights and coaching sessions are held on different courts, but the venue remains the same.
