Quincy, MA Badminton Club

Special Notices

Here is the latest club info, posted here on 27-Aug-10.

There is no play on 1-Sep-10 and 8-Sep-10. The next season begins 15-Sep-10 and continues through 29-Dec-10, skipping 24-Nov-10. The fee for the 15 evenings is $165 (15 times $11). Per-night players are welcome, and each one has to pay $15.

The cost for this club to use the facilities has significantly increased. As a result, the playing time has been reduced from 3 to 2 hours and the fees have risen.

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 $8 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.
