Falcons Badminton Club in Welling, south-east London, is run by the enthusiastic Alex. Competing in the Ravensbourne and Orpington/NorthWestKent leagues, Alex offers players a mix of competitive and social badminton. Open to men, ladies, mixed, and composite teams, Alex ensures everyone, regardless of skill or gender, finds their spot.
Membership’s open to both regulars and guests, though absolute beginners should check out Badminton England’s beginner sessions. Want to pop by for a game night or a match? Just drop Alex an email beforehand. Guests are always welcome to come and experience the friendly vibe and competitive games.
Club nights are every Monday at Welling Secondary School and Wednesday at Harris Academy Falconwood, 8-10pm. With four courts at each venue, there’s plenty of space for everyone to play. Remember, these nights aren't beginner-friendly – beginners should look up Badminton England instead.
The new season kicks off on 1st September, and membership is available now. More details and the membership form are up on the club's website. The annual fee covers everything from September to the end of August next year – a great deal for regular players.
