It now has 6 courts and is rated as one of the best in the UK.
Built in 1980 as a dedicated 4-court badminton hall to provide a facility for local badminton clubs who needed regular, inexpensive courts to play league matches and develop new players.
Rumour (MCBA) has it that AGM Minutes and a copy of the (previously unseen) MCBA Constitution that now apparently governs the Dome were sent out to all members on 18th April 2026. I've been a member of the Dome since the mid 1980's - but I did not receive a copy. I should be interested to hear from anybody who did? XX
There was a meeting at the Dome last night to discuss its future. 90% of Dome members were excluded from attending - in total contravention of the Constitution that has governed this place for the past 40 years and which insisted each and every one of them should have a part in the discussions and decision-making. Does anybody else care?

I’ve been informed that the current Management at the Dome is unable to send emails to ALL individual members – only sending to those who are members of Dome clubs – so some of you may have missed this important update from them. I’ve attached the full 4 pages for you to read. I’ve also copied the most urgent/relevant info here:
Membership Fees: Adults: £21 per year (≈40p/week). Children (under 16): £1 per year (≈2p/week) (Subject to change on 1 Jan 2026 — £31 for adults, children TBC)
If your membership has expired, you’ll automatically be classed as a visitor until you renew which means you’ll need to pay the visitor fee each time you play (£4.00, increasing to £7.00 from 1 Jan 2026).
I’m thinking this could cause a bit of a back-log at Reception for our next session while everybody has their membership checked and discusses the changes – so maybe email [email protected] in advance to clarify? Also, any changes to membership/court fees can only be made after they have been discussed and ratified at a Dome AGM. As the next AGM is only rumoured to be happening in February, it's hard to see how changes could be made as soon as January. . .
Dome urgently needs a competent Treasurer - unpaid position as the Dome is a not-for profit organisation. Any volunteers? If at all interested, please contact [email protected]

Scaffolding now complete. Repair work on the roof well under way!
Some information for players: the Dome is just about to start a programme of essential maintenance and improvement works to the outside of our roof. This includes replacement of gaskets on the bolts that hold the roof in place to be followed by installation of solar panels on the roof to reduce our soaring electricity supply costs - all needed to keep court fees as low as humanly possible.
The works will not affect the hall interior, but we apologise for the temporary inconvenient loss of one or two parking spaces needed by the building contractors.
The contractors hope that the works will be completed within two weeks from today, but as it is all outside work, that completion date could be affected by the weather.
We hope you'll bear with us while these improvements are carried out.
