Introducing the club

Bishop Road Badminton Club is a small, friendly club run on a voluntary basis.

As a club we actively encourage visitors to come and play for a few nights. So if you'd like to come and find out a bit more about us follow this visitors link.

We play in the sports hall at Colston Girls' School on Cheltenham Road in Bristol (near the "Arches" for those with local knowledge).

There are 3 quality wood floored courts with excellent changing and shower facilities and a spacious balcony overlooking the courts.

Monday is club night and Friday is match night, both from 7.00 - 10.00 p.m. There is occasional club play on Friday's but you'd need to check avaliability on the previous Monday at the club.

We only play during the winter and spring school terms, excluding half terms and holidays.
