Chinese Sunday School Bedford, MA Badminton Club

Special Notices

This club reopens on 13-Sep-09, but the group may need to set up the court lines then. You are welcome to attend, and if the condition of the courts is poor, there will be no fee for the session.

As it did for the past three seasons, this club is continuing to meet for the 2008-2009 season at the John Glenn Middle School in Bedford due to construction at the high school. The gym has been taped with two courts, and there is some empty space which can be used for warm-up and practice.

Since September, 2002, the Bedford High School in Bedford, MA hosts a special Chinese Sunday school during the academic year. During the 2009-2010 school year, it will be held again at Bedford's John Glenn Middle School at 99 McMahon Rd., since there is construction at the high school. As part of this arrangement, a gym is available for badminton on many Sundays during the school year from 9:20 a.m. to 11:20 a.m.

Although the gym at the high school has 4 courts with painted lines, and the ceiling is quite high. Only two courts with taped lines are available at the Middle School. Players tend to range from about tournament level A through D. Although the Sunday school has a Chinese orientation, the badminton sessions are open to the general public.

The fee is $6 per visit. Players are expected to bring feathered birds; the club does not provide birds.

The person to contact with questions is player Jan-Hone Su at JSu01854@yahoo.com, the liaison to the Sunday school. Jan-Hon is maintaining an e-mail notification list for this club, so if you would like to subscribe, please contact him.
