Badminton Royale - now INSIDE Sep 23, 2010

We have caved to our weakest links (and the puddles that already exist on the courts), and we have moved the tournament inside and away from the rain.

We will now play single elimination games to 21 (rather than 2 out of 3) using 2 courts on our mainstage. Still show up 5 minutes before your scheduled time and we will do our best to keep things as close to schedule as possible.

Please let us know if this changes your plans and can’t attend, please let us know.

 We will still have beer and Marintation Mobile (and team sprit!).

 Go, teams, go!
