All secretaries are reminded that players must have active Badminton England Membership to play in the league. Most players memberships expire on 31st October and as such should now have been renewed.

If you have players within your club whose membership has expired, can you please take action to renew their membership as soon as possible. Players will be prevented from playing in the league if their BE membership is not active.

If during the course of a the season you have the need to use a player that is registered with your club but who you can’t find assigned to your team, use the “Add Comment” field and enter the name of the player who is missing. This will then enable Simon Dart or John Marsh to correct as appropriate.

The only times when such a player is not permitted to play is when one of the following applies:-

1. They are not registered with your club
2. They are assigned to a higher team
3. They have already played up on 6 occasions
4. The league has put a block on them to play for a particular team.
