The Derek Meakin Junior Level Doubles Tournament will be held on Saturday 11th February 2023 at Whitwick & Coalville Leisure Centre, Stevenson’s Way, Coalville, Leicestershire LE67 3FE.

This Doubles tournament is a great junior Badminton event for all players of the club to consider entering, especially as this tournament excludes any player who trains in with the Leicestershire Performance Centre at any weekday sessions (Mon to Thurs) or has played in any County matches in the current season.

Players do not have to be current members of Badminton England, so you do not have to enter with a player from the club therefore could be just a friend or if you do not have a partner just insert on the form  “Partner Required”.

In the past members of our club have been winners & runners-up in the different age groups.

The tournament includes:

• Boys Doubles (primary aged up to year 6) – 9am-11am
• Girls Doubles (primary aged up to year 6) – 9am-11am
• Boys Doubles (years 7-9) = 11am-1pm
• Girls Doubles (years 7-9) = 11am-1pm
• Boys Doubles (years 10-12) – 1pm-3pm
• Girls Doubles (years 10-12) – 1pm-3pm

Note that players entering with an older partner out of their age group must play up in the older age group. For full details, please see/download the entry form below.

Entries must reach the organiser (Carole Spencer) by FRIDAY 3^rd FEBRUARY 2023.

Please send entry form & fee of £5 per person to the organiser, with cheques made payable to Whitwick Juniors B. C. or alternatively pay by cash on the day.

Forms should be sent to: Carole Spencer, 16, Rockland Rise, Whitwick, LE67 5BF. Telephone Number 01530 811984 or email your ENTRY Form to carolespencer5525@gmail.com
