The club’s annual membership fee has remained unchanged for over a decade at £15, despite the fact that it was originally the cost of a tube of shuttles, which now costs £21. Even with a significant increase of 23% in court costs (£3000), the fee for the upcoming year 2023-24 remains fixed at £15.
Badminton Scotland, our governing body, requires an annual membership fee of £10 for junior players, just like other sports. This fee is crucial in supporting the club and the good work that Badminton Scotland does. It is mandatory for players to join Badminton Scotland. However, if you are already a member through another club, Glasgow School of Sport, the regional performance squad (which includes membership), or as an individual, please don’t pay twice.
To enter any competition that allows entry via tournament software players have to be a member of Badminton Scotland.
So the total membership is £25. However, if you are already a member of Badminton Scotland (The club can check) in which case membership is £15
To ensure alignment with Badminton Scotland, we have updated our membership year to run from August 1st to July 31st. Members who pay the membership fee can participate in competitions throughout Scotland, have insurance coverage, and contribute to the club and Badminton Scotland’s work.
However, the most important thing is that the membership form supplies the club with contact details and emergency information. New members are of course allowed a few weeks to try out the club prior to joining.
For 2023-24 our session fees remain the same and are as follow’s:
£4 for the late session (Badminton Academy, 7-9pm)
£5 for the early session (Sports Centre, 5-7pm)
£6 for the Minis (Badminton Academy, 5-7pm)
We believe that our two-hour session is a great value compared to other activities for children. The fee for the session just about covers the cost of the courts and coaches. Our club is non-profit, and the cost to parents reflects the club’s expenses. Any extra funds are used to support club activities. All volunteers at the club work for free, but coaches are reimbursed for their expenses.
Here is a link to download the membership form. We will also send home a paper copy if needed.
Once completed please return this form to the club either in person or by email to contact@scotstoun-badminton.co.uk with a membership fee of £25/£15 pounds, preferably via bank transfer to the club account.
When the membership is logged you’ll receive a welcome email which acts as a receipt. The club will register all members with Badminton Scotland using your email address and you can access their membership system to review and update the information stored there.
Finally, club members get priority if sessions are full and also receive a £1 discount on junior league entries.
