About
Lewes Badminton Club, located in the beautiful town of Lewes in East Sussex, has a rich history that dates back to its formation in 1934. The club's origins can be traced to three different badminton clubs: Gnats Badminton Club, Southover Badminton Club, and Southdown Brewery Club.
Gnats Badminton Club, established in 1934, later relocated to Eastgate Street in Lewes in 1938. Southover Badminton Club, on the other hand, played their matches in the Drill Hall on Mountfield Road before the outbreak of World War II. Lastly, Southdown Brewery Club used to operate out of the brewery but had to leave when the hall was requisitioned for the war effort.
During the war years, the three clubs joined forces to become Lewes YMCA. However, it wasn't until 1945, when players were demobilised, that the club truly flourished. Since then, Lewes Badminton Club has become a prominent sporting institution in the region, attracting members from all walks of life.
As an affiliated club of Badminton England, Lewes Badminton Club prioritises promoting the sport and providing a supportive environment for players of all skill levels. The club caters to both senior and junior badminton enthusiasts, offering a comprehensive programme for each age group.
