Welcome to the new Badminton Sheffield website thank you for taking the time to look at what we have created.
 

An update from the Chairman of Badminton Sheffield.

 
CURRENT POSITION
 
Regarding the AGM and Fixture meetings. We have been informed that Phoenix have cancelled the bookings we had for these two events. This is not surprising realising the current state of the Covid situation and the additional safety measures that both Phoenix and all attendees would have to adhere to in the event.
 
To this end I am recommending that an AGM is convened solely by the committee using the usual video link at the date and time agreed for that meeting. That is 3rd September at 7.30pm. We will send out copies of the minutes of the meeting as soon as possible to all clubs.
 
With the Covid situation not improving as quickly as we had hoped we will also cancel the fixture meeting. The league tables will be accepted as based on the works carried out by Praf and Anne at the end of the truncated season. We will discuss the presentation of the respective trophies at a later date.
 
Any clubs wishing to play 2020 / 2021 should arrange fixtures between themselves by phone, e-mail or text etc. This will allow clubs without a venue at that time to join in later as play can be resumed.
 
It is not intended that there will be any promotions or relegations for this next season so clubs would not be disadvantaged if they cannot play at all, play just a few matches or come in later when venues are available and the situation allows.
 
All safety measures will apply as provided to us by Badminton England and the government.
 
With luck we may be able to resume our normal situation for season 2021 / 2022.
 
Additionally, in one of her final jobs Anne as results secretary has outlined below what will be happening to the various leagues:-
 
1. The promotions and relegations worked out by Praf and myself are applied to the leagues to form the new leagues for 20/21.
 
2. The league is then stagnated for the season but clubs may play friendlies within their new divisions or with anyone willing to play.
 
3. No scores are recorded by the league – they are just friendlies.
 
4. In September 2021 when we can have an AGM (God willing), clubs will be asked for withdrawals and additions. These will then be added or withdrawn from the leagues (20/21) and the leagues adjusted if necessary.
 
Please continue to stay safe and well and we will try to get things back to normal as soon as possible within the recommendations provided.
 

Best wishes,

Alan Barber

Chairman Badminton Sheffield.
