Welcome to GHAP Badminton Club

A gay and lesbian badminton club based in Manchester city centre.

We aim to provide a friendly, relaxed and sociable environment for lesbains , gays, transgendered people to improve their badminton.

We meet on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and Saturday afternoons every week to play badminton for a couple of hours. A few of us go to a nearby pub for a quick pint and a chat after the games. There is a good social side to the club with meals out, drinks in the village, walks in country, paintballing, BBQs etc etc

All standards and abilities are welcome from absolute beginners to league players.

We would ask that if you are coming along for the first time that you attend the Wednesday/Saturday sessions  initially.
Monday sessions are intended for players looking to improve their game and are of a slightly higher standard. Any new members or players who do not currently come on Mondays who would like to attend Mondays in future, are asked to contact a committee member, who will help you to decide if you would get the most out of coming to the Monday sessions. The committee will then make a decision and invite you to play on the Monday if appropriate.We want to be as fair as possible to everyone in the club, balancing members' desire for socialising and fun, with getting good, challenging games.  GHAP is primarily a social badminton club, but setting aside one session out of the three available, helps attract and retain members wanting to improve and play that bit more competitively.

Everyone is expected to mix with everyone else and play against all group members no matter what their ability. We try  to ensure that no two people play together in consecutive games. This ensures a better social mix and helps everyone to improve their standard of play.

We also have coaching Saturdays 1-2pm at Levenshulme High School until 7/8/10
