Christ Church Badminton Club

By offering Badminton at two venues on two different evenings of the week, and in conjunction with the Caley Youth Club, we accommodate players of all ages, objectives, and standards.

We meet at Clements Hall, Hawkwell, from 8.00pm on Tuesday evenings, and The Caley Youth Club meets in Caley Hall at Rayleigh Christ Church from 6:00pm on Wednesday evenings.

We are affiliated to the Southend and District Badminton Association and arrange matches against other local clubs for those members interested. We also have two non-obligatory tournaments each year and a number of social events.

Christ Church Ladies Club

We meet at 8.00pm every Tuesday evening in Caley Hall.

We maintain a very varied programme with a variety of speakers on all manner of subjects, some make us laugh and others give food for thought. We have a lot of evenings out: - cookery demonstrations, walks, barbecues and coach trips.

Other special evenings include our Easter Service, where we collect and distribute eggs for our elderly friends, and our Christmas Carol Service, when we fill boxes of groceries again for our elderly friends. And of course our Anniversary Service and Supper which includes a sit down meal in Caley Hall. This year we raised over £500 for local charities.

Concord Ladies Club

The Concord club has now reached its 30th year (2005). It’s only when we look back that we realise how much fun we have had and how many friends we’ve made. We meet on Wednesday afternoons in Caley Hall from 1.30 – 3.00pm. Our aim is to have fun and friendship while raising money for many good causes which this year amounted to over £700.

We enjoy a varied programme of events with many interesting and entertaining speakers, enjoyable outings and lots of eating.
