The Zem’bad badminton club will host a charity tournament in Le Montat on Thursday, October 22, 2026, raising funds for the Ligue contre le cancer through the nationwide Pink October breast cancer awareness campaign, Medialot reported. Play begins at the halle des sports at 19:00 local time (17:00 UTC), with doors opening to participants at 18:00 local time (16:00 UTC).
Charity Badminton Night Opens to All Skill Levels in Le Montat
Registration for the October 22 event stands at a minimum participation fee of 5 euros per person, though players can choose to contribute a higher free-will donation. Organizers structured the evening to welcome competitors starting from 10 years old, encompassing absolute beginners alongside experienced tournament veterans, as well as club-licensed players and casual participants alike. The schedule features no formal rankings to chase, no competitive trophies to secure, and no pressure to perform. Instead, the club designed the gathering purely around casual recreation and community support for cancer research.
Potluck Dinners Fuel the Community Hall Gathering
To maintain a relaxed atmosphere between matches, the evening incorporates a traditional potluck meal format known locally as an “auberge espagnole.” Attendees bring a small dish or beverage from home to share with fellow competitors at the sports hall. Rather than focusing on knockout brackets or championship standings, the schedule prioritizes shared meals, social interaction, and recreational games on the badminton courts.
Registration Details and Venue Access for Participants
The halle des sports in Le Montat opens its doors at 18:00 local time ahead of the 19:00 match start on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Because spots require advance coordination, organizers enforce mandatory registration ahead of the event date. Interested players can secure their place by contacting the club directly at 06 81 37 60 46 or via email at [email protected]. All proceeds collected from the entry donations go directly to the Ligue contre le cancer to support ongoing medical research and patient assistance.
