Organisation description: Markland Hill Racquets Club was founded in 1927 to provide Tennis facilities, by means of 6 dedicated Tennis courts, in the local community. Squash courts were added at a later date and in 1970 Bolton Badminton Club agreed to merge with the Club. A new indoor hall was constructed providing 4 Badminton Courts and 1 Tennis court overlaid. Subsequently a small but effective gym space was created. This was the basis of the club we now have to date and is one of the best venues for Badminton in the North West. The badminton courts are used regularly by the Lancashire County Badminton Association for tournaments and matches and also by Badminton England for the Senior Leagues. In the last few years we have offered pickleball which has been very popular and is now our largest section at the club. The Club has a membership of over made up of Full Adult Sports Members, Students, Young, Junior 12-17 and Junior 5-11 categories. All the members have access to all 3 racquet sports. The Club is run by a small but dedicated collection of members. We have a function room that is used by the local community for family celebrations, and is hired out for Pilates and Yoga classes. Bolton NHS use the room for physiotherapy rehabilitation sessions and is used for various charities for meeting etc such as Bolton Hospice.
