Badminton England have now opened entries for the 2009-10 Badminton England Cup.
The Cup is open to any affiliated club who support their local league. The entry fee for a club is £40 (a maximum of £5 per player!). Should you be invited to the Grand Finals a further £20 would be required to supplement the cost of a full weekend of play.
There are some significant changes to the format following a review of the 2008-9 competition and feedback from clubs.
