We play at the Jim Satchell Community Recreation Centre located at Light Street, Dianella. The entrance to the centre is marked by the blue marker on the map below. The corresponding street view of the entrance is shown further below, assuming you have turned in from Alexander Drive.

There is ample parking on-site. As the car park can be quite dimly lit during the night, players should ensure their vehicle and all valuables are secured when leaving their vehicle.

For those new to Western Australia, Dianella is approximately 9 kilometres north of the Perth CBD (Central Business District). Whilst most of our players live near the area, some players come from a lot further away.

We play every Monday night from 7:30 to 11:30pm. Players are free to arrive and leave at any time during the session. Most players are usually content after 4-6 games.

We also play on most public holidays, should they land on a Monday. Please check our calendar below to make sure.

Session Fees

For each session attended, the cost per person is shown below.

Membership Fees

Membership is optional and is open to all players at the club. Memberships commence at the start of February each year, but applications can be made anytime during the year. The fees are as follows:

* To be eligible for the concession rate, you must hold a valid Students or Seniors card.

Benefits of becoming a member:

• Lower overall cost if you intend to play regularly. Financial motivation if you don't! With the current session fees, full-year members need only attend 13 sessions to recover the cost of membership.
• Members are given playing priority when players have to sit out.
• Subsidised meals at club events, such as the Pizza Night and Christmas Party.

The session and membership fees collected go towards the ongoing costs of running the club, which include court hire, shuttlecock supplies, and refreshments. Any excess in funds at the end of the year is normally distributed in full to members in the form of meal subsidies and raffle prizes at the end of year Christmas function.
