LARGS Badminton Club is still rallying with new members as the popular sport continues to be enjoyed by locals.

The club is one of the longest running weekly sports activities on offer, having started in 1958 when the sports centre was opened by Queen Elizabeth II, and is still very much going strong with a mix of experienced members and new up and coming talent.
