Welcome to our Club Website
Walton & Kirton Badminton Club is a friendly club of
appoximately 25 members, both young and old and has existed for more than 50
years. Club nights and home matches are played at Walton Church Hall, near Felixstowe in Suffolk. It is considered by many to be the perfect badminton hall, with good lighting, a high ceiling and clear markings on a wooden parquet floor. There is only one court, and this does tend to create the need for competitive badminton to be played.

Ages from 14 to 80 ! for friendly club badminton or more competitive league badminton in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
