Well, we knew things could move fast, but we weren't expecting the news on December 19th.

Buckinghamshire, and therefore Badminton Wycombe are now in Tier 4.  As with all indoor sports facilities, we are required to close until further notice.

Yesterday, the government announced that Buckinghamshire, amongst other regions, would be moving to Tier 3 from 00.01 am tomorrow (Saturday, December 19).  Tier 3 places further restrictions on what badminton may be played according to government and Badminton England guidance. Below are the forms of Badminton that the Centre can offer, whilst we remain in Tier 3:

1. Adults may only play singles or doubles with other people from their SAME household / support bubble unless it is a 1-2-1 coaching session from one of the Centre's approved coaches
2. Under 18s may continue to play singles and doubles outside of their household / support bubble as well as receive coaching sessions
3. Under 18s may continue to attend structured group sessions where there is a maximum ratio of 15 players to one coach

Because of these restrictions and the limited number of members who are likely to be able to meet these strict criteria, the Centre has made the following decisions regarding opening times across the Christmas period.

• The Centre will be closing from 11pm this evening (Friday, December 18)
• The Centre will be open December 28, 29 and 30, 9am - 5pm
• The Centre will re-open from Monday, January 4, 2021

Whilst this isn't the news we were wanting to send just before Christmas, we do thank all our members for their patience during these ever changing times.  We do wish you and your families a happy and healthy time over the festive period and a much better 2021.
