Chairman’s Report:

Shuttles – It was agreed that (in conjunction with the treasurer’s report) we test both Yehlex and Babolat No1 shuttles over the coming weeks for durability. As despite the Babolat being £16 more expensive per 25 dozen, we spent almost £1000 less on shuttles this year.

Team Performance – One promotion (3rd Ladies), One relegation (3rd Mixed) all other teams remain (1st men’s still undecided)

Kit – Awaiting prices from Babolat regarding kit for next year, other options available (Forza?)

Member Numbers – We ended the season at 41 members (38 Full, 2 student, 1 junior) It is anticipated that we will have room for a maximum of 5-6 new members come the end of August.
