Badminton

 

The staff badminton club is an active bi-weekly club for members of staff only. We play Mondays and Thursdays at 1230 in the STV and the Founders Hall respectively. Membership is via Omnibus and costs £7.50 a month (requires membership of Omnibus).

Mondays are currently played under the the No Strings scheme, sponsored by Badminton England. This requires payment of 50p at STV reception every time you play. This arrangement will continue till the No Strings scheme is unavailable, after which we will return to Staff Badminton only bookings - possibly at an increased monthly fee of £15.

We are a very friendly club and are always seeking new members. We use plastic shuttles to keep costs down and the standard of play is "club" standard, which is somewhere between complete beginners and the university's third team! We primarily play doubles and have 2 courts booked for every session.

The club mailing list is at https://lists.bath.ac.uk/sympa/info/badminton

Squash

 

Please email John (j.m.mitchels@bath.ac.uk) if you would like to play squash. We would like to build a list of players for an informal session and/or a ladder. We would welcome anyone who is interested in learning and can provide the rackets and balls for trial sessions. Please note courts are currently free to book by staff in the founders hall however this may be set to change in the near future.  Squash_1

Angling

Calling all fisherpersons, whether you are a beginner or a pro, coarse or game anglers we have the club for you. The aim is to arrange trips and matches at a variety of places. We will rely on individuals to suggest and initially organise an event or meeting. To suggest and form more information on how to plan events please email john (j.m.mitchels@bath.ac.uk) Green_Highlander_salmon_fly
