What we're about

Welcome to Bristol Badminton Group!

If you are looking for a fun club to enjoy good games of badminton and to meet new people then look no further!

We are a social club and welcome all adult players. The games are organised and supervised. All sessions list the fees and players agree to the terms and conditions when they book.

There are three sessions:
- Tuesday evening at Fairfield school off Muller Road (all levels)
- Thursday evening at Horfield Leisure Centre (upper intermediate only)
- Friday evening at Kingdown Leisure Centre (all intermediate players)

All sessions are announced the morning after the previous session. Keep an eye on the site to secure your place.

Terms and Conditions

We are an adult only (18+) badminton club.

Players must book their place via meetup and then pay for their place on the same day either via paypal or bank transfer. Unless payment is received on the same day as the booking, the organiser has the right to remove players from the event and give their place to someone on the waiting list.

Our cancellation policy is 24hrs notice. Anyone cancelling after this time will not receive a refund even if your space/spot was taken up by someone else. ‘No shows’ are problematic as they reduce the number of players we have on court, and therefore the enjoyment of others. ‘No shows’ will result in a warning

If an event is full, members will have the option of adding themselves to the waiting list.

We run a warning system to ensure everyone can enjoy their time on court. ‘No shows’, lack of payment, unsportsmanship/unacceptable behaviour/language will result in a first warning and then a permanent ban.
