Neyland Badminton Group meet every Tuesday morning at Neyland Community Hub. We are now based at Neyland Community Hub after relocating there back in January 2025.

We are a very friendly group of people, some more experienced than others but no one is made to feel uncomfortable in their ability to play and there's loads of banter, it really is a great atmosphere!

Neyland U3A Badminton Group July 2026 Update!

Neyland Badminton Group has now been running successfully for 18 months, and during that time our membership has grown from just a handful of players. At our most recent July session, we welcomed 22 players—our biggest turnout yet. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the morning together.

With only four courts available, we adapted the format slightly by playing doubles matches to 15 points instead of the usual 21. This worked extremely well, ensuring nobody had to wait too long between games. It also gave players who preferred not to play continuously the chance to sit down, catch their breath, enjoy a chat, and help themselves to a well-earned cup of tea before returning to the court.

Feedback from many of our newer members has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly about how welcome they felt from their very first session. They enjoy not only the badminton itself, but also the friendly atmosphere, good humour, and strong social side of the group.

We are a friendly and welcoming group with members of all levels of experience. Some had never played badminton before joining us, while others have returned to the sport after many years away. New players are always encouraged and supported, and it is wonderful to see how quickly their confidence and skills develop over the following weeks.

We are based at The Community Hub in Neyland and are fortunate to benefit from the excellent facilities the Hub provides.

As part of Pembrokeshire U3A, we aim to provide a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment where members can learn, relax, keep active, and have fun. Badminton is an excellent way to improve fitness, mobility, and wellbeing while enjoying the company of others.

We understand that members cannot attend every week due to holidays, family commitments, health appointments, or other activities. Having a healthy number of players means everyone has the opportunity to take a break between games, enjoy a chat, and make the most of the social side of the session without feeling they need to play continuously.

Sessions take place every Tuesday from 11.00am to 1.00pm.

• Rackets are available if you do not have your own.
• Your first session is completely FREE!
• After that, there is only a small weekly charge to help cover the cost of hall hire.
• A complimentary tea or coffee break is included.

Why not come along and give us a try?

Whether you're returning to badminton after many years or picking up a racket for the very first time, you'll receive a warm welcome.
