This will happen in the form of ranked sessions that will periodically replace regular sessions throughout 2026 and beyond. I've compiled a list of points below to help everyone understand these better and to encourage you all to get involved! It's not an exhaustive list so ask any questions that you feel remain unanswered!...]]></description><link>https://www.budminton.co.uk/post/budminton-ranked-sessions</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a098fccdf43effc8ce1b0af</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2026 11:49:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/da4c1f_ecd5bc27608d4dcdb1c69a51789be2ef~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Budminton Edinburgh</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Budminton Bulletin Spring 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[It's been a while, folks. To anyone not in the WhatsApp, Budminton might seem like a ghost town in terms of updates. For the 200+ of you in that group, you will probably be sick of hearing from me! So how do we summarise 2025? Our multiple expansions turned out to be a success, particularly the introduction of the Early Hour slots from 9-10 on Saturday mornings. With this we have found a nice balance of providing our advanced members with some top quality competition to start off their day,...]]></description><link>https://www.budminton.co.uk/post/budminton-bulletin-spring-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c614cbd2e55f64fe0c3499</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:54:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/da4c1f_0faea7c667ff41c6ab76a8ef0287bc3b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Budminton Edinburgh</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Budminton Bulletin 2025]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are big changes coming to Budminton in 2025, all of which we hope to address below. EXPANSION Budminton’s attendance has improved to the point where we now feel comfortable expanding further. The first leg of this expansion comes in the form of Saturday splitting into two sessions. This will see the old 2 hour 30 min (latterly 3 hour) session become two 2 hour sessions. These will run from 10-12 and 12-2 starting from April 12th 2025.

This consideration began in early 2023 after attempting to form a committee. The decision was made to run a solo venture as an unincorporated business where self-assessment tax obligations are required as opposed to a charity/SCIO or CIC (community interest company) involving greater commitment from multiple individuals. There will always be limitations to transparency regardless of the structure,...]]></description><link>https://www.budminton.co.uk/post/statement-on-structure-and-growth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">65d740bcc5f09ca152638914</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Feb 2024 12:45:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/da4c1f_0faea7c667ff41c6ab76a8ef0287bc3b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Budminton Edinburgh</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Budminton Bulletin Winter 2024]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello Buds, A lot has happened since the launch of our website so I am writing today to update you regarding anything you may have missed but also with a summary of what's to come throughout the year.
