Acton, MA Badminton Club

As of the summer of 2011, this club is playing year-round.
This club plays at the Acton Junior High School gym, and here is the current session:

7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Mondays starting in September for 10 evenings
7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Fridays starting in September for 10 evenings

Initially, you may sign up only for only one of the two sessions; then on and after some stated date, you may sign up for the other session on a space availability basis.
Registration begins on 26-Aug-13. You will be able to register online at http://comed.ab.mec.edu or print a registration form and mail it in or call 978-266-2525 after 26-Aug-13.
Although the Friday hours are usually from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., during the winter season, the hours are shifted to 8 to 10 p.m. On a Monday or Friday when there is no school, there is no play.
There are six courts, and the school allows a maximum enrollment of 24 players on a first come first served basis. Four courts of the six courts have no obstructions and are suitable for doubles games. The other two courts are for warmup and practice only, since they do have some obstructions. Beginners are welcome and can get some basic coaching advice.
The group is organized as part of the Acton Community Education program. You must sign up through them at 978-266-2525 (Fax: 978-266-2540) in advance. The cost is about $10 per evening of play for a multi-week (perhaps 7 to 10) session.
From a written announcement about this group:
