Welcome to the
Shaw Badminton Club Home Page


For the 2007-2008 season, Shaw will be entering teams in the Newbury & District leagues - Mens (x3), Ladies (x2 - teams of 4 & 6) and Mixed (x3) and of course the Blackford Cup Competition.

The standard of play starts from novice players (who enjoy the club nights and the occassional match) right up to County standard. Our age range varies too, from juniors right up to the more "senior/experienced" members.

Shaw BC also has a strong
social side. Apart from relaxing in a local pub after club nights and matches ... we organise a Quiz each season, a team Bowling Challenge. Our annual Club "Schneider" Tournament, rounds off the competitive season.

Shaw Win Blackford Cup Final

The first team silverware was secured by the Blackford Cup on on Friday 14th March. A fantastic display saw Shaw overcome the -5 to +5 handicap difference to beat Aldermaston by 53 points over the two legs.


Shaw Claim Level Doubles Double!

Shaw made it a clean sweep of silverware in the NDBA Level Doubles Championship.

Sally Norman and Lucy Burton claimed victory in the Ladies whilst brothers Tony and Kevin Walker turned back the clock to lift the Men's Title.




Change to Friday Start Times

With effect from 4th January 2008, Friday club and match nights will start at 7.30pm.


Rounders Match & BBQ

The gauntlet has been thrown down and we will be playing St Mary's BC at Rounders on Sunday 15th July 2007 at 1pm. Venue: Chapel Row Green, next to The Blade Bone Pub.

All the family are welcome, and please do not worry if you have never played before or haven't played for a long time.

As Bod, Lu and Mike have decided that as the weather will be so good, there will be BBQ afterwards. BBQ's and coals will be provided so you just need to bring your food and drinks. There is plenty of parking available and a pub opposite the green for post match/bbq beverages.

If you want to join in, please let or know.

Blast from the past ...

Here's a photo from the last rounders challenge between the two clubs ... 19 years ago (1988)!!! How many faces can you recognise?


Summer Club

Shaw's Summer Club will be starting on Friday 25th May 2007 from 7.30pm. We welcome all visitors whether you are a Shaw regular or a member of another club. Numbers permitting, this will run right through until the end of August.

If you want to find out more, please .

Please note (the boring bit!): All visitors must sign in the visitors book. If you ARE NOT an affiliated member of Badminton England, and you play more than five times as a visitor, we will need to affiliate you to Badminton England & Berkshire Badminton. The cost to cover this currently is £10 adults and £6 juniors which will be payable on your SIXTH visit. This is needed to ensure we comply with our insurance.
