Quincy, MA Badminton Club

Special Notices

Here is the latest club info, posted here on 3-Nov-09.

The current season began 2-Sep-09 and continues for 12 evenings through 18-Nov-09. As usual there will be no play on the night before Thanksgiving (25-Nov-09 this year). There are new higher fees because of an increase in the gym rental. The fee for the 12 evenings is $90 (12 times $7.50). The per-night cost is $10.

Because of a basketball league, the gym will not be available for three months - from 2-Dec-09 through 24-Feb-10; the league uses the gym Monday through Friday unil 9:00 p.m. Wednesday play will likely resume on 5-Mar-10.

This is a community activity which has been active since 1996. It is sponsored by The Asian American Service Association (AASA), which is a not-for-profit agency operating various program for Asian elderly and Asian families. Accordingly, most of the players are Chinese, and a few other nationalities are also represented. Everyone is welcome here, but no smoking is allowed.

There are 3 courts, and only doubles badminton is played. Players are asked to bring their own racquets and feathered birds.

There are two methods of paying dues to play: you can pay $10 per visit, or you can sign up in advance for a season of about 3-4 months at the rate of $7.50 per night for one season of sessions. With this method, you pay whether or not you attend all sessions. Please make out your check to AASA; cash is also accepted. There are 3 seasons per year and they vary from 12 to 22 sessions.

The club maintains an e-mail notification list to alert players of cancellations, etc. This may happen due to weather or a school function.

The director of this club is Rev. Richard Law, who can be reached by phone at 617-773-5482 (takes phone messages) or by e-mail at PastorLaw@WLChurch.org.
