Club Nights

Club Nights: Time and Venue

Club and match nights take place on Tuesday evenings, 8-10 p.m., at:

Levenshulme Health and Fitness Centre

Levenshulme High School, Crossley Road, Manchester, M19 1FS

(Click here for a map of the area)

We have up to 4 courts which will all be available for social play on most club nights. On nights where one of the Northern Flight teams is hosting a local league match (in either the Manchester or Oldham & Rochdale leagues), there will be a reduced number of courts for social play. Please check the dates of local league matches available from a link in the left-hand menu.

We use feather shuttles at all levels, and all games will be played using the new 21 scoring system.

If you’re coming along for the first time, please contact us in advance if possible. If you're not able to contact us first, then just turn up and ask for us at reception. Initially, you will pay a visitor's fee of £5 per session. After three sessions as a visitor, subject to ability, you will be invited to join the club under the annual membership fee (see below).

Membership Fees

In order to cover the cost of our many overheads, especially court time and feather shuttles, we ask members to pay an annual membership fee as follows:

Annual Membership Fee (from July to July): £120

This is payable either in one lump sum or in two, half-yearly sums of £70 and £50 respectively. Once this is paid, you will not pay anything else for the year (except match fees if you are playing in local league matches).

But we have also sought to be flexible in our approach to take into account the needs of our various members. As such, there are two exceptions to the rule above:

i) If you are a student, and are therefore only likely to be around during the summer months, you can come down to club night and pay a reduced fee of £3 per session;

ii) If you play your regular badminton elsewhere, with the result that you are likely to come down to club night less than once a month, you can just pay the visitor's fee of £5 per session.
