The Raqueteers Badminton Club, a cornerstone of the Uxbridge sports community for over 40 years, is inviting you to smash some birdies with them. Led by the energetic John Field, this club knows how to mix friendly vibes with competitive spirit. They're all about giving everyone—from rookies to seasoned pros—a chance to play in men’s, ladies’, and mixed games.
Located at the top-notch Harefield Academy, the club provides a four-court sports hall where you can bring your A-game. Bimal Patel and Kate Gilmore keep the club running smoothly as your go-to Club Secretaries, while Chris Duncan ensures there’s plenty of off-court fun as the Social Secretary.
The Raqueteers are always on the lookout for players ready to take on league matches, with teams competing in the Hillingdon and Chalfont leagues. Fancy yourself in Division 1? Men’s 1st Team Captain Bimal Patel will be watching. More of a Division 2 player? Alok Arya’s got that covered. Or perhaps you’re into mixed matches? Andrea Forster leads the Medley team with gusto.
Match nights are Mondays, but when there’s no clash, it’s game on for club nights on Wednesdays. Want to join? Swing by for a couple of guest games, and if you’ve got the right moves, you might just get invited to stay. Just be ready, the committee will give you a game-by-game review to make sure everyone plays their best.
