| Details | | The GN&D u3a Badminton group meet every Wednesday at Cascades sports centre from 14:00 until 16:00. We book either one, two or three courts for two hours, depending on how many members have been attending. Our players have different skill levels, so some games will be more challenging than others, but the idea is to play for fun. We collect £2.00 from each player who is not a 'Full' Cascades member in order to cover any additional costs and shuttlecocks.
CASCADE'S RULES AND FEES ARE AS FOLLOWS
=========================================
If you are a 'Full' or 'Active' Member of Cascades Leisure Centre then entrance to Cascades is free, you just need to give your membership number at reception. Non-Members of Cascades will be charged a £2.50 entrance fee at reception if they are under 60 and £1.88 if 60+. Please note that since the 'COVID Lock Down' Cascades no longer takes cash, so payment has to be by card. Cascades membership options can be found here: https://gcll.co.uk/new-membership-options/
Each member of our u3a Badminton Group who is also a 'Full' Members of Cascades Leisure Centre is able to book one court for one hour, per day, free of charge. If the 'Full' Cascades member who booked the court doesn't play on it they will be fined £5.00. Two 'Full' Cascades members need to turn up and play on the court that has been booked to avoid any extra charges. The charge for each half of the court that a 'FULL' member of Cascades didn't play on is as follows:
* £8.50 for a Non-Member.
* £6.00 for an 'Active' Member aged under 60.
* £4.50 for an 'Active' member aged 60 and over.
=========================================
If you'd like to join the GN&D u3a Badminton Group then you do this online via the 'MEMBERS LOGIN' on the 'Members' page of our website, just search for 'Gravesend u3a'. You can also email (peter_buttle@hotmail.com) or phone (07538850533) me, my contact details are also in our newsletter.
New players are welcome as well as the return of those who haven't played for a while. A bit of exercise and meeting up with friends to play for fun is a good way to spend a Wednesday afternoon! We provide shuttlecocks and have a spare racquets that can be borrowed, but I would recommend wearing a good pair of court shoes and bringing a refreshing drink for between games.
Please note that players play at their own risk. |
