Although the club does not offer court hire, members have the opportunity to play doubles and take turns once a game has finished.

Plastic shuttles are provided free of charge from Monday to Thursday. However, players are welcome to bring their own if they prefer to play with a different brand or with feathers. On Sundays, feather shuttles are provided at an additional cost of $5.
