WELCOME
to the Abergavenny Badminton Club website.
We are a friendly, competitive badminton club with a varied age base from Juniors to seniors of varying standards from league to national.
We have a very healthy attendance and try to maintain a competitve standard of badminton.
CLUB / MATCH NIGHTS
We are at the start of the 2018-2019 season and are currently accepting members and allocating teams. Our regular
club night is on a
Tuesday from 7pm - 9pm. Due to a healthy
growth in player numbers, we sometimes book an additional court to allow more games between 7pm - 8pm. Our
match nights are on a
Friday evening between 7.30pm - 10pm.
VISITING / JOINING
We welcome any potential new players. But we do request that new players be of an appropriate standard. The topic of "playing standard" is very subjective. You may feel you
are not that good but others may think you are very reasonable. Some may think they are very good while
others feel you really aren't! Therefore, it is always difficult to assess someone's playing standard and ability without possibly seeing you play. How do you know if you are the right
playing standard? Maybe you could come and watch a club night? If you feel you could play at the standard played at the club night then please attend. We tend to suggest that
you attend for
3 sessions and by agreement (yourself and the club) we will no doubt agree suitability. We try to look past issues of "lack of fitness" or "rusty play" due
to an abscence from the game and we realise that it may take some time for form to return. But we must try to gauge standard somehow in order to make sure the club remains
competitive for the leagues that we enter teams into. Ultimately, there is a fine line between maintining a good club standard and turning potential good talent away.
If you would like to attend, please email the club @

TEAMS
We are fortunate enough to have a large player pool to choose from. The 2018-2019 season will consist of a MEN'S A & MEN'S B team, a MIXED A & MIXED B team and a LADIES team.
