All attending received a secret Santa present which caused much hilarity.

 
     
       
 
 
     
 
   the  Christmas Party 2009  
 
Due to a sudden very heavy snowfall, many people couldn't make it to Dario Restaurant in South Croydon.

Here are the elite members of the badminton club that were able to attend due to very heavy snow.

AGM
Hi All Thanks to all those who attended the AGM on Friday evening  (and thanks to Nicola H for the cakes!).

For those who were unable to attend the main item to report is that it was recommended that subscriptions and fees for the coming season remain unchanged.

Claire produced some detailed estimated forecasts and whilst it is always difficult to predict numbers of members and numbers playing on club evenings it was felt that we should be able to keep subscriptions at the current level for a further year (actually this will be the fifth year that subs and shuttle fees have been at the current rate).

We are aware that hall fees are likely to be increased significantly (approx 10%) from 1st January and we may have to re-assess the position as the season progresses.

So subscriptions are now due – cheques payable to Purley URC Badminton Club – form an orderly queue in front of Claire tonight!

*Much of the "mailing" is sent by internet these days so please keep me up-to-date with your new/change of e-mail address.

John Whittingham

 
         
   
     
 
Membership

Membership numbers remain quite strong at the moment and whilst we do not wish to turn away new members the committee feel that we have to be careful about accepting too many newcomers.  Please have a word with me if you receive any enquiries about membership - Monday evening is fairly full but there is room on Fridays.  -  John

 
     
 
 
  Subscriptions & other fees for 2011-2012  
  £50.00 - Full Member -  Mondays & Fridays
  £25.00 - Student/Senior Citizen
  £29.00 - Junior Member
    £3.00 - Visitors fees  (per evening - maximum of 3 evenings)
    £3.00 - Match fee

   *The shuttle fee would also remain unchanged at £1 per evening.
