Otley Badminton Club, which runs six league teams, is all set for the new season.

From Friday, September 4, the club - which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary - will welcome any new players who may be interested in joining.

The club plays Mondays and Fridays through autumn, winter and spring and the only breaks are in the school holiday periods. Sessions run from 8 pm to 10 pm on Fridays and 8 pm to 10.15 pm on Mondays with four courts each night at Prince Henry's Grammnar School sports hall.

The club runs many social events throughout the year including ten pin bowling, summer walks and a tresaure hunt.

Individual teams also run their own end of season celebrations - win or lose - at a local restaurant. It is a very friendly club to be a member of.

If you have just moved into the Otley area or maybe you used to be a member then the club would welcome you. New players are urged to go along and try the club out during September before the league season starts.

Anyone interested can contact Sian Cook on 01943 464267.
