Club History

Newport Badminton Club began in 1947 when the club played on two club nights in the Town Hall in Newport. In 1955 the club moved to the new King George Vl sports hall at Lilleshall for one of the club nights.

In 1964, the Market Company informed the club that the Town Hall would not be available for badminton. As a result of this Newport Badminton Club moved to play only at Lilleshall. The club met in Kings Hall until 1985 when the new Wenlock Sports Hall was completed.
