Dear members,

The season of 2023-2024 comes to an end. We hope you had some thrilling games in good company during the year!

There are some important things we have to inform you about:

Table of contents
1. Subscriptions for next season
2. Junior training different rules
3. Closing date and reopening sports hall
4. Interclub team results + interclub next year
5. Most improved player of the season

1. Subscriptions for next season
As current members you have priority to be a member next season. To subscribe for next season, you will have to fill in the membership form on the website. The deadline is Sunday 28/07. Please just do it as soon as possible, so that you don't forget because after the deadline we will open the free spots for new members. We will not make any exception! If you are still under 18 years old and want to be member but you don't want to participate in the junior training, please contact the membership secretary (Lynn) with this info after filling in the form.

2. Junior training changes for next season
The last training of this year will be Wednesday July 3rd. On July 10th, the juniors can still come and play free games but this will be without supervision.
The junior training will be organised differently in the next season. There are 2 important changes to improve the quality of the training:
1)The minimum age to participate in the training will be raised to 10 years (age considered as on September 2024).
2) We are trying to find a second trainer so that the group can be divied into two: advanced players and beginners. Hereby the juniors are expected to receive more attention and individual feedback.

The training with Gilles will start again on September 4th 2024.

3. Closing date and reopening of the sports hall
The last training will be on Wednesday, July 10th. The sports hall will reopen after holidays on Sunday, August 18th. However, if you wish to continue playing during this period, please have a look at the courts, to be booked on your own, at one of the available locations such as Mounier (Kraainem), Brussels badminton (Anderlecht), Yonex center (Aartselaar),...

4. Results interclub teams + next year
BIBC had a fantastic year at the Interclubs! Hereby the results of each team:
- Ladies 1: 2nd place in first provincial
- Men's 1: 3rd place in second provincial
- Men's 2: 3rd place in third provincial
