Thank you for looking at the website of Finsbury Badminton Club. We play at Finsbury Leisure Centre, Norman Street, EC1. The nearest tube is Old Street (come out of Exit 7) or Barbican. . The Club has 2 sections, A and B. We do set a minimum playing standard but the Club also has a strong social element.
PLAYING TIMES
Finsbury A meets every Tuesday (20.00-22.00hrs) and every Sunday (18.00-20.00hrs) Finsbury B meets every Sunday (18:00-20:00 hrs).
POTENTIAL MEMBERS
We invite potential members to come and play on a Sunday only. .Both sections have a minimum standard and guests are asked to first try out in the B section. Normally we don't make decisions until someone has come down 3 times to give people a chance to relax and get into their game. Visitor fees are £6 per session.
If you would like to try out as a guest please contact our Guest Liaison Officer, Tom Sellwood by email (and copy myself, Sarah Mortimer) providing details of your name, contact number/s, badminton experience and an idea of your standard. The contact email addresses are:
