Club night this week (21st of September 2016) is changing venues, due to our regular venue being unavailable. Avonbourne College have their parents open day on, so we are moving over to the venue that we use for league matches, Harewood College.

Please not this is for one night only!

If you have not been to the Roy Moore Sports Hall before at Harewood College, please see the directions here:- https://flukeyfeathers.co.uk/venues/

Hi all, I have been busy updating many areas of our website. If you find any errors please let me know ASAP so I can correct them! Many thanks Russell Clarke.

The first Rovi Cup went exceptionally well and was well attended.

We raised a total of £1,437.54 towards the defibrillator fund. This will completely cover the cost of a defibrillator for the Harewood College sports hall. The balance will be kept on account and go towards another one when we have enough funds.

Rovi’s youngest daughter Robyn helped with the presentations. There are already lots of photographs and videos which members have posted on the Flukey Feathers Facebook Page, but there are more photo’s which I need to find the time to adjust and post too.

Our dear member Rovi Jongco sadly passed away, a week after having a heart attack whilst playing badminton. He will be greatly missed by everyone. Always happy and always making jokes, he was a fantastic husband, father and badminton player. He was only 44 and leaves behind his wife and four children.
We are starting a new annual friendly tournament in his memory and all money raised will go towards the purchase of a second defibrillator which will be installed in the Harewood College Roy Moore sports hall. The Avonbourne Trust have kindly agreed to let us have the hall free of charge for this event, so it will just be the cost price of the shuttlecocks which will come out of the £10 fee.

The date for the first tournament is Saturday the 23rd of July starting at 10am (end time to be decided). It will initially be players from Flukey Feathers, Sandy Jones’s sessions and the Bournemouth Community Church BC who will be invited to take part, as Rovi played at all three clubs.

If we still have space then others will be welcome to attend. You will not need a partner, as it will be a round robin format, where you will be playing with and against different players for each match. The two winners (one lady and one man) will be those with the highest accumulated scores. Games will be played to 21 points only with a sudden death finish, so as to avoid the results being unduly distorted by players going up to 30 points. After each game, the two winning players will partner with two losing players from other games, which will even out abilities and scores. In the event of a tie, then we will have a play off.

If you are interesting in playing and have not already notified me, please do so ASAP. Contact Russell Clarke on 01202 395404.

There will be no league training session tomorrow night (28th March 2016) as the sports hall is unavailable. Look forward to seeing you all at club night instead on the 30th…..

We have the new Flukey Feathers team shirts in stock, so if anyone wants a shirt or shorts please get in touch. Prices here.

Hi everyone. We are collecting Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers, so if you shop at Sainsbury’s supermarkets or petrol stations, please ask for the vouchers at the check out and save them for us! Hopefully we can collect enough to get some junior size rackets……

Hi everyone, and welcome to the new Flukey Feathers Website.

This is still very much work in progress, so there may be some obvious errors and omissions! Please let me know if you spot anything that is really awful and I will try and correct it ASAP.

Regards Russell Clarke.
