Friday 24th July 2020.
Hi all.
We wanted to update you in these strange and ever-changing times to say we hope you and your families and your club members are healthy and well whilst we are trying to get back to some form of normality.
Due to the updates from the Government and Badminton England regarding getting back to badminton we thought that as a League we would let you know our plans. Even though there are some guidelines for playing doubles these do not encourage competitive play.
As such there is no plan to restart the league season in September/October so don't worry about the fixtures meeting and AGM; please concentrate on recovering your clubs and getting back to some form of play based on current guidelines. We will look to address this later on in the year when things have improved and the rules are further eased.
We are very sorry this is happening but we feel this is the safe and correct way to keep you updated and to move forward so that everybody can relax and just simply concentrate on getting playing within the club groups.
I have added the link with the latest guidelines from BE.
