Attention all Nijmegen badminton enthusiasts! Due to unforeseen circumstances, including Jan Massinkhal unavailability and the upcoming May holiday, critically important adjustments have been made to the badminton program schedule. Mark your calendars and plan accordingly to ensure you don’t miss out on your court time.

Revised Schedule Breakdown

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the schedule changes affecting junior and senior players:

Friday, April 11: Junior Training Relocated, Senior Free Play Available

The Jan Massinkhal is unavailable. Junior players in Vincent and ISIS’s groups will train at the Hatert sports hall (Thorbeckestraat 75, Nijmegen). Due to limited court space (six courts), only these groups can train. Other junior groups will not have badminton this evening.

Senior players can participate in free play at sports hall De Boog from 8 PM to 11 PM (Dick Boerrigterplein 4, Nijmegen). All regular training sessions are canceled.

Think of it like a rain delay in baseball – the game might be moved,but the possibility to play still exists,just in a different location.

Friday, April 18: Junior Training Continues at Hatert, Senior Players Hit the Pub!

Junior training continues at the hatert sports hall (Thorbeckestraat 75, Nijmegen) for Freek and Mark’s groups. Other junior groups will not have badminton this evening.

Senior players, the Jan Massinkhal remains unavailable. But don’t despair! Rather of badminton, the program is hosting a pub quiz at Bar Barrika Foodbar in Nijmegen city center. Register here to participate!

This is a great opportunity for team building, similar to how NFL teams might engage in off-field activities to strengthen camaraderie.

Tuesday, April 22: May Holiday – No Badminton for Anyone

Due to the May holiday, all badminton activities are canceled for juniors, the G-Badminton group, and seniors.

Friday, April 25: Budget Constraints Force Cancellation

Due to budget limitations, the final playing evening of april (friday, April 25) is canceled for both junior and senior players. The board apologizes for any inconvenience.

This is akin to a minor league baseball team having to cut a series due to travel budget issues – a tough but sometimes necessary decision.

Tuesday, April 29: May Holiday – No Badminton Again

As with April 22nd, all badminton activities are canceled for juniors, the G-Badminton group, and seniors due to the May holiday.
