CLUB PROFILE
The
Club is located at the newly-built Longfields-Davidson
Heights Secondary School on 149 Berrigan Drive in Barrhaven, where Club members enjoy playing doubles'
badminton in an excellent six-court hardwood gymnasium. The primary
purpose of this new Club is to provide adults-only (between 18 and 65 years
of age) male and female badminton players of various skill levels who reside in the Barrhaven
area with their own local club. LDHBC is also affiliated with the Ottawa
District Badminton Association (ODBA), giving members access to the larger
badminton community in Ottawa, including fun and competitive tournaments, free
teaching clinics for Club members, and social events.
The
Club supplies yellow Yonex Mavis 300 nylon
shuttles and yellow Black Knight TruFlight 4000 nylon shuttles, and members play according to the 21-point
rally scoring system. The Club uses a Game Board with members'
nametags, which allows all members the same opportunity to choose players for
his or her games as well as to enjoy games with as many different Club members
as possible each evening.
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The Club Membership Fee of $60 for New
Members for the this season includes all available Tuesday play dates,
shuttles, ODBA membership, and insurance coverage for the Club. Membership fees
are non-refundable and memberships are not transferable to anyone else. Club
members must bring their own badminton racquets, and every player is required
to wear indoor-only, non-marking, soft-soled court shoes

Based on the number of available dates for
September to May, the cost of a Club membership works out to about $1.76 for

events.
