What is the Social Series? 

The Social Series is a set of 3 tournaments being run by Harriet Mortimer in conjunction with Badminton England with the aim of providing more friendly and competitive opportunities for social players and helping to build a network of players interested in playing social tournaments in the future.

Who is it for? 

The Social Series is aimed at social/beginners who are over 18. Anyone who is a member of a competitive club, which plays against other clubs, is not eligible to enter, but members of 'general clubs' are welcome.
