Navan Badminton Club

We officially have multiple club nights this week! Mondays kick off tomorrow (the first one back) and again on Wednesday. Keep coming along and shaking off those cobwebs.

Even better, there are no matches this month, so all courts are up for grabs. That means plenty of space to get your games in, no matter who shows up.

And the cherry on top, membership is open right now for anyone who fancies joining. Never held a racket before? Grand, come learn. Been playing since before mobile phones existed? Also grand, come show us how it's done. All levels, all welcome, we promise!

Next week our juveniles are back too, so young players, dig out the runners and get the energy levels up, because we know you have plenty to spare! Our Thursdays return on the 24th September. Mark the calendar, set a reminder, tell the dog, whatever it takes.

See you on court, and please, watch out for the shuttle, it bites!

Club Night Is Back! 🏸

After a long hiatus since May, Claremont Stadium is about to be buzzing again. Join us from 8pm to 11pm for the first Wednesday Club Night of the new season. Current club members, total beginners, seasoned smashers, sure everyone is welcome!

Bring your racket, your energy, and maybe a spare shirt, because it's going to get a little sweaty in the best way. Fair warning though, your arms and legs might file a complaint tomorrow morning. But you know it's totally worth it!

So, let's kick off the season with some great games and even better company. See you on the court tonight. We can't wait!

The nets are going back up, the lights are switching on, and we are ready to welcome you back for another great season.

Right, here's when we're back; get these dates written down somewhere safe!

📅 Wednesdays – back from 2nd September
📅 Mondays – back from 7th September
📅 Thursdays – back from 24th September

And we haven't forgotten about our youth players. Our Juvenile Club is also back!

📅 Mondays – starting 14th September
📅 Wednesdays – starting 30th September

It will be so great to see all our familiar faces back on court, along with plenty of new energy for the season ahead.

And here's the best part: we'd love to welcome NEW MEMBERS too! There is a place for everyone here at Navan Badminton Club, no matter your age or skill level. Feel free to tell your family, friends, neighbours, and coworkers about us too. The more the merrier, and we would love to welcome new faces to our club this season.

Let's get ready for a brilliant season of badminton, laughs, and great company. See you all very soon!

Hello again, everyone! Our club's Annual General Meeting is coming up next week, on 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 at 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦. 8pm start.

It's a great chance to catch up on the year gone by and share ideas for the new season ahead.

Every member is welcome to come along. We'd love to hear what you think, so bring your thoughts and join the conversation.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Best of luck to our friends at Boyne Badminton Club this Sunday!

They're off to the University of Limerick for the Badminton Ireland Inter League Finals, in both Grade F and Grade H. We were absolutely delighted to host them for some challenge matches at Claremont Stadium last night, and so happy to play a small part in their preparation.

Go on Boyne, we'll all be rooting for you! Best of luck from everyone at Navan Badminton Club.

This is it, our 91st and final club night of the season. 91 nights of serves, smashes, mad rallies, and the odd miraculous save that nobody can fully explain. We've had a brilliant run together, and we'd love to finish it the right way with good company on the courts this Thursday Club Night.

For the last time this season, we have All COURTS available for every member. No pressure, no scoreboard, no one keeping tabs on your backhand. It's a free court Friday... on a Thursday. Come as you are and play as long as your body allows.

So, like a shuttlecock that's been batted about since September, we've finally come back down to earth. We've gone through a lot of shuttles, a lot of "just one more game," and a fair few crazy net cords, which some members will admit were pure luck. What a season it's been, lads and lasses. Let's give the season a proper send-off. See you one last time for this season.

They say the second-last slice of bread is the unsung hero of the loaf. Nobody fights over it, but everyone's quietly glad it's there. That's tonight's Wednesday Club Night. The penultimate club night. The hero we don't talk about enough.

No fixtures. No pressure. Every court is wide open with all the time in the world to use them. Like the second-to-last chapter of a great book, you're not quite ready for it to end, so you slow down and enjoy every page.

We're one night away from the final smash of the season. Make this one count. See you at Claremont later.

Spring is doing something very Irish today for Thursday Club Night, leaving without saying goodbye. Typical... One minute it's here with the blossoms and the grand stretch in the evenings, and just like that, gone. The Celtic calendar says so, and sure, who are we to argue with the Celts?

However, Spring has given us one last gift before she goes, as ALL COURTS are free for our members. No matches, no pressure, no excuses. Like the season itself, the courts are wide open and waiting. Get in before Summer charges in and takes all the glory!

Spring had a good run (If you ignore all the rain that is...). Now it's your turn. We'll see you in Claremont tonight!

We want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to one of our own, Elaine Maher.

For over 10 years, Elaine has given so much of her time and energy to our juvenile players here at Navan Badminton Club. She has been a constant presence on the court, encouraging, guiding, and cheering on our young players week after week, year after year.

Because of Elaine, so many kids in our club have learned to love this sport. Her patience, her dedication, and her big heart have made a real difference to so many families in the community.

Elaine, we honestly cannot thank you enough. You are one of the reasons this club is what it is today, and we are so lucky to have you. From everyone at Navan Badminton Club, thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙌

Beeeeep! Come in, do you read us? Monday Club Night is transmitting a very important message, and you don't need a telegraph to decode it. Get yourself to Claremont Stadium tonight. That's it. That's the message!

Here's the headline straight down the wire, no matches! Every single court at Claremont Stadium is free and ready for our members to enjoy. The whole place is yours, wall to wall, court to court. It's the greatest signal we've sent all season, pure, clean, and absolutely interference free!

The second transmission is for our young guns. Juvenile Club Night is a go! The girls take to the courts at 6:30pm, and the boys follow at 7:30pm. 2 signals, bang on time, not a beep out of place. We couldn't have tapped it out better in Morse Code ourselves!

So come on, we're all tuned in and waiting for you. Don't leave us on read. Signing off!
