Next weekend Birmingham goes badminton crazy again welcoming The Yehlex Birmingham Badminton Bonanza 2009 to The NIA.
A Badminton Bonanza is an open badminton event aimed at social players who play for fun but would like a chance to play and meet different people, and low to medium level league players.
Bonanza tournaments are also used as a stepping stone to county organised open tournaments for league players who wish to advance to a more competitive level.
Here at the Hatters Hostel in Birmingham we can’t wait to see some familar faces that stayed with us in March for the All England Championships.
This five piece from Kansas City have been an influential force on the emo/punk scenes and come to the UK to celebrate the 10th Anniversary Edition of their critically acclaimed album ‘Something To Write Home About’.
They play the O2 Academy on Monday 17th August and tickets start at £12. Click here for more info!
Since we’re such big Get up Kids fans here in Hatters we’re offering beds for £8 on the night when you present your ticket at reception.
So that’s a Gig, Bed & Light breakfast for £20. Not bad at all these days in the current economic whatever…
And if that’s not enough there’s a bar 2 minutes from the hostel serving £1 pound drinks ’til 2am and hosted by Kerrang DJs…
Urgent news!
Our hostel brethren in The Four Courts Hostel in Dublin are sad to announce that Seamus, their longest living serving staff member, has gone missing.
The Hatters crew, speerheaded by John and Kathrin, are joining the global campaign started by the Four Courts’ Pearce to get him back.
