I play socially on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and Saturday mornings and is very enjoyable. There is also a Tuesday evening session but whilst I am still playing badminton I do not attend that session. There is also coaching available on some Wednesday evenings during the summer.
The Saxons has a membership fee that is decided upon at each years AGM and is currently £20 per year per adult and £5 per junior
2017-2018 winter season I joined in the winter scores competition where you get 3 points for each game you win and 1 point for each game you draw. At the end of the season the person with the highest total of points wins the cup.For the 2018 - 2019 season i came 4th.Saxons play in the Cotswold league but I cannot play for them as i play for Cirencester U3A in that league.I have joined Pétanque England so as i can play Great Western Region and PE competitions with a chance to represent England if I improve enough.At the Saxons 2019 AGM I volunteered to become the clubs Treasurer as Ron Poole decided to retire from the position.There were also changes to club President and Committee members.In 2020 several Saxons members split off to form another club at the Cricklade Hotel & Spa with 10 lanes suitable forGWR / PE competitions.There were more changes to our committee and a new President was appointed.We still had 48 members so Saxons still existed and still floureshes with several more changes in the committee.We are a far more social club now with competitions, gatherings and social drinks eveningsThe Tuesday night sessions ended and we have now introduced a Wednesday evening session instead.Yet more changes to the position of President, but the club keeps evolving.
