We are a friendly league club based in Horsham, West Sussex. We meet every Sunday night, usually at Tanbridge House School or Forest Boys’ School (summer). The About Us and Contact Us areas have more information about what the club can offer.

Club nights are at the Sports Hall of Tanbridge House School.
Junior Club from 5.30-7pm, Senior Club from 7 to 9.30pm.
Summer Term this year will be from Sunday 18 April to Sunday 18 July in view of the time lost to Covid-19.Places must be booked each week with Gill in accordance with Badminton England Guidelines. Players who have paid to join the senior club but are under 18 as at 31 August 2020 can play at the Junior club without extra charge while the senior Club is still suspended under government guidelines, but must still book each week.
Places must be booked in advance via forestbcsecretary@gmail.com
Senior Club is still currently suspended as we are in Tier 2 and only singles play is allowed, plus doubles between pairs from the same household. This is being kept under review as we await further guidance from Badminton England.
As per government guidance all amateur badminton is suspended from Thursday 5 November and all Leisure Centres (including The Bridge) will be closed. We hope to be able to restart Junior and Senior Club sessions on Sunday 6 December but this will depend on the revised Guidance.
Please do all you can to help reduce the spread of the virus and keep yourselves and others safe.
Until we are able to return to the Sports Hall at Tanbridge House School, our club sessions will be at The Bridge Leisure Centre, Broadbridge Heath. Now that Phase 3 of Badminton England’s guidelines is in operation, we can also play games between two groups of 6 players (on two courts).
From Sunday 25 October until 20 December, our Junior Club will return using 5 courts from 4 until 5.30pm. I have booked all 6 courts for the senior session from 5.30pm to 7pm. Please ensure that you allow the juniors time to leave the courts and ensure that 2 metre distancing is maintained.
…are welcome. A link to the membership form is available here and on the Contact page.
Availability of courts is still limited, but the club is starting to make bookings where and when possible. Check your email for details. You must reserve your place in advance.
The AGM was held on Tuesday 19 May via Zoom. Minutes are attached.
