Hellifield Badminton Group

A great way to get fit and meet new people

Hellifield Badminton Group meets every Tuesday evening between
7.00pm and 9.00pm in the Village Hall, so if you fancy going out for
a couple of hours and you don’t want to spend much money or go

an opportunity to catch up with a few people and enjoy a cup of
coffee or tea in the break, then this could be just what you need!!.
We are a friendly bunch, the group is always ready to welcome
new members, and you don’t have to come every week, just when
