Come out and play folks! We play twice a week (Tues and Thurs) in May and June. There are usually not as many people coming in summer so there will be lots of court time and is a good opportunity to play with people you don’t usually play with.

Badminton will be held on Tuesday December 6th and Thursday December 8th.

Thank you to all the participants of the Kamloops Open 2011 and congratulations to the champions!

Mens Singles – Matt Downton
Womens Singles – Kia Lidster

Womens Doubles – Sonja Drummond / Kathy Elizabeth Kish

The Kamloops Badminton Association 2011 Annual General Meeting will be held at Pacific Way on October 27th (Thursday) at 7:45pm. Information regarding the past years activities will be presented and elections for board members will be held, including the President position.

The gym has been booked by the school district on October 6th so there will most likely not be badminton. If the gym is not being used past 8pm then badminton may still be played.

The registration form and membership page on this site has been updated with the new fee structure for the 2011/2012 season. Due to the change of management of the Pacific Way Elementary gym from the City of Kamloops to School Board 73, the fees were increased to compensate for the new rental prices and the start time changed from 7:30pm to 8:00pm. Additional information will be provided at the Annual General Meeting which will be held in October.

Membership fees are due at the end of September. Please fill out the Registration Form and return it with payment to a member of the executive.

The TRU Badminton Team welcomes any full time students (3 or more courses each semester) the chance to make the team for the 2011/12 season. The tryouts will be September 7th at 5pm after an introductory meeting at the Wolfden meeting room at the TCC. There are potentially scholarships available for players that show exceptional skill and commitment. For more information, contact Brad Pape (coach).

The dates for the Kamloops Open 2011 tournament have been confirmed to be November 12 & 13 at the TRU gym. The entry form will be posted soon!

Please be aware that there will be no badminton on Tuesday April 12th and Thursday April 14th.
