Here is a list of other websites that may be of interest to badminton players. If you would like your website listed here or know of a good site that should be, then please [contact the webmaster].
Please provide a link back to our site! Need some help on linking to us?
Sites that cover Badminton in general, or the whole country! Listed roughly in order of importance / usefulness.
Badminton Association of England Ltd
www.baofe.co.uk -> www.BadmintonEngland.co.uk
The Association that keeps everything ticking over. Includes complete lists of affiliated Badminton Clubs throughout England and helps you find your local club. Hhhmm, they seem to have changed their name from 'BAofE' to 'Badminton England'! Why? The old URL still works though.
International Badminton Federation (IBF) / World Badminton Online
www.worldbadminton.net
The official world badminton website. News, world rankings, results, rules and much much more. I'm sure these sites used to be different, but they are now one and the same!
Badminton Central
www.badmintoncentral.com
A wealth of information, playing technique, photos, where to play - all around the world! World rankings, lots of forums to discuss badminton and plenty more! Looks good!
Badders.com - The Badminton Community Website
www.badders.com
An interactive badminton community on the Internet. The site says, "The community offers all clubs, individuals, schools, universities, coaches, umpires and any other teams & associations, the ability to communicate and interact with each other." Quite a bit of news, articles and a fair few interviews. Looks good. Also linked to badders.net - an online badminton shop - so it's all a bit of a money spinner really!
BadZone
www.badzone.co.uk
"Dare you enter the BadZone"...? Well, yeah ok! A cheesy title and a rather strange X-ray type photo on the main page but it ain't bad! An enormous amount of information about everything badminton... Pictures, Techniques, Reviews, Player Profiles, the list goes on. There is also a UK Club Directory, albeit a tad sparse! Since we got listed on the site way back in 2002, we are still only one of just two clubs listed under 'Berkshire'! A sure sign indication that the site hasn't been updated in the last few years! In fact I have tried contacting the BadZone in order to update our listing - but everything seems to get bounced back. Hhhmmmm.
League and County Badminton Associations. Listed alphabetically.
Aldershot & Camberley District Badminton League
www.acdbl.co.uk
A very comprehensive and well put together site. The ability to analyse any players performance is pretty damn good!
Berkshire County Badminton Association
www.berkshirebadminton.rbwm.org
(2nd Dec 2007) There is a new Berkshire Badminton website!
www.badmintonclubs.co.uk/berkshire
All things badminton in Berkshire! Although to be honest I don't know how often it's updated as there's not a whole lot of information?!
www.geocities.com/berkshirecba/index1.htm
Their old site, which hasn't been updated for several years, still contains a lot of information.
Bracknell & District Badminton Association
www.bdba.co.uk
The league currently has 18 member clubs, competing in 7 divisions (2 mens, 2 ladies and 3 mixed). Great site, enabling you to analyse match results, which are published weekly.
Crewe and District Badminton League
www.cheshirebadminton.org/crewe
Like it says on the tin - a load of info and photos controlled by a collapsable explorer type menu.
Newbury & District Badminton Association
www.ndba.co.uk
A wealth of information about the Newbury badminton leagues, tournaments and everything badminton.
Reading Badminton Association
www.reading-badminton.org.uk
Details all the clubs (and teams) in the Reading Badminton Leagues. League standings, results and even the rules! But the site is a bit of a mash. You'll need to plough through many screens of results to get the one you're after; which probably isn't there anyway as it's way out of date!
Shetland Badminton Association
www.badminton.ndo.co.uk
Yes, the badminton league that is way up t'north! It may be small, but it's all badminton! How did I find this one? Well, they use the same ISP that we used to!
Other Badminton Clubs around the UK (  ) and the rest of the world, who have there own websites. Listed alphabetically. For local clubs who play in the Reading and Bracknell leagues, see also the [ Clubs Page].

Barton Badminton Club is based in the Staffordshire village of Barton-under-Needwood and is twinned with the German club SUS-Darme club in Lingen, Germany!
Clandon Badminton Club
www.clandonbc.co.uk
A fairly local club, playing in the Aldershot & Camberley league, that seem to have been going for years. They play over at St Peters Catholic Comprehensive School, Merrow, Guildford on Tuesdays. A pretty comprehensive site, but the fixtures are passworded.
Chiltern Edge Badminton Club
www.badminton-clubs.com/ChilternEdge/
A friendly club providing players with the opportunity to display their skills in the Reading Badminton league, where they have eight teams entered.
Eagles Badminton Club
www.eaglesbadminton.co.uk
Playing in the Aldershot & Camberley league over at Oak Farm School, Farnborough on Tuesdays. Sept 2005 - The site is under construction.
Hawley Badminton Club
www.mnai.demon.co.uk/hbc
Hey it's quite local to us! Meet every Monday at Fernhill School in Cove, Farnborough (previously at Oak Farm School). They have the past 5 seasons of results online! But that was back in 2001 and they don't seem to have updated it much since then, despite it saying on the homepage "Last Update: 11th August 2005". They do, however, have a new website at http://hawley.acdbl.co.uk/, but without being a member we don't have access to fixtures. There are certain similarities between this and the Aldershot & Camberley website (above) - done by the same chap I recon.
New York City Badminton Club
www.nycbadminton.com
Yes, that's right - the Big Apple! Now this is a badminton club! Although there's no fixtures or results - the site could be better.

Ufton Badminton Club

A very friendly club, good badminton and entertaining banter down the pub afterwards - what more can you want? The club is based in Theale, near Reading (and near Silver Fox!) and are in the process of building their own website.
