About Us
Gainsborough Badminton Club is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive social badminton club, created to bring people together through a shared love of the game.
Our aim is simple: to provide an affordable and enjoyable place for adults in Gainsborough and the surrounding area to play badminton, meet new people, get active and have fun.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been playing badminton for years, haven’t picked up a racket since school, are returning to the sport after a long break, or are looking for something completely new — you’ll be welcome at Gainsborough Badminton Club.
Badminton for Everyone
We’re a social badminton club, so you don’t need to arrive with a partner or be part of a team. In fact, we encourage everyone to mix!
Throughout each session, players rotate around the courts and play with different partners and opponents. This helps keep games varied, gives everyone the opportunity to meet other members and creates the friendly atmosphere we want the club to be known for.
While we all enjoy a bit of friendly competition, winning isn’t everything. We want our sessions to be enjoyable, relaxed and supportive, with players respecting different abilities and helping everyone get the most out of their evening.
Our Sessions
We play every Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm–9pm at West Lindsey Leisure Centre in Gainsborough.
Our sessions are limited to a manageable number of players so that everyone gets plenty of time on court. Games rotate throughout the evening, keeping things moving and giving members the chance to play a good variety of matches.
You can choose the sessions that work for you — there’s no expectation that you need to attend every week or play on both evenings.
More Than Just Badminton
We want Gainsborough Badminton Club to become more than somewhere you visit for a couple of hours each week.
Our goal is to build a genuine local badminton community where people feel comfortable walking through the door, getting involved and getting to know one another.
As the club grows, we hope to organise social events, friendly competitions, club tournaments and other activities alongside our regular badminton sessions.
Most importantly, we want to maintain the welcoming atmosphere the club was created around. Whether you’re coming along on your own or joining with friends, you should feel part of the club.
