Can shatter glass if she misses a shot with her mighty squeek!
Mike " Oldest Swinger in Town" Kaye
Don't trip over the zimmer!
Simon "Random" Cave
From the sublime to the abysmal in two shots.

The future, Manni's little brother, coming on in leaps & bounds.
Armaan "Manni" Mohammed
Nicest guy you'll meet, but will punish you on the court.
Amjid "how much?" Muhammed
If you hear some squeaking that will be Amjid looking in his tight pockets for his subs!
Mark "Pharmacy" Webster
Only the miracle of modern medicine keeps this guy playing!
Connor "Bad Habits" Jowitt
Someone who isn't content with how hard badminton is, works extremely hard to make it far more difficult!
Ziggy "Chill" Altama
Come a long way since he started. Has great taste in music too! (you know who I mean Ziggy!)
Naumen "Laces" Hayee
If he isn't disappearing for 5 or 6 weeks at a time, or playing cricket, he's here fastening his shoe laces at the most inappropriate times!
Emily "Determined" Simpson
From the get go Emily has always been far more competitive than she appears, never drop your guard!
Haki "Dorian" Tan
It‘s rumored he’s well over a hundred, BUT never seems to look over 30 (well, 31!). A-team player, who is able to play an all-round game & has a steely determination to win. Off-court is really rather pleasant.
Phil " The Great Dictator" Glister
Possibly the greatest thing to ever happen to Todmorden Badminton Club ever & modest to boot!
Past Players
People who used to play for the club, far more to be added keep checking back, it may be you!
Alan "Tod Rules" Shaw
Previous Dictator & famous for the cross court backhand that you could get an easy point from!
Phil "Chill" Howitt
Always relaxed & easy to play with, Sandra's favorite mixed partner.
Stuart "Serve Fluffer" Horsfall
Great player till he meets the great dictator & Matt Shackleton in competition then he just falls apart!
Barry "Screecher" Mills
One more game, his enthusiasm was only matched by the high pitched squeal when a shot when wrong (more often than he wanted!)!.
