GB Deaf Badminton have announced their training weekend schedule for 2010/2011. New players can attend to have a chance of being in the GB team for next year’s World Deaf Badminton Championships in Korea.
The training weekends take place in Hull at:
East Riding Sports Club
Chanterlands Ave North
Hull
East Yorks
HU5 4ED.
Times are Saturdays 10am-3pm, Sundays 9.30-1.00pm. For the full list of dates, please see the UKDS Sporting Schedule.
Players help to pay for the court hire: £15 per weekend (£12 students) or £10 Saturday/£8 Sunday (£8/£6 students).
Janet Thomson, GB Deaf Badminton Manager explains:
“Players need to bring their own sport clothing, suitable footwear (non marking soles), badminton rackets and drinks. Water is supplied at the club. Â Showers are provided.
“After the sessions, the players usually go out for a bite to eat at local pub – meals are usually under a fiver or on a 2-for-1 deal if we have even numbers so food costs would be more than £10 per person on meals and drinks.”
Janet is also happy to help players with accommodation for these weekends.  Please contact Janet via GB Deaf Badminton’s own website at www.deafbadminton.org.uk.
