After a 12-month break, the Stratford Midweek Badminton Club is back in full swing.
Badminton player Jane Roguski first joined the club nine years ago.
“When I lived in Whangamōmona, I would drive my children to school, and I discovered the Midweek Club. It’s a sociable bunch of people andit’s an activity to fill in the morning.”
Unlike other clubs, people pay per session instead of requiring membership.
“It gives people the opportunity to have that flexibility. They can come any Monday they like.”
“Last year, we were unable to operate because we didn’t have enough members to operate. We don’t want to lose this club, so we’re looking for more members. We have enough capacity to run four courts at the same time. We’re looking for more people to come in and play, whether they’re looking for a way to fill in their Monday morning or want to play a game of badminton during their work lunch break.”
