Fairhaven Middle School Gym, Bellingham

There are two halves of the gym, each with three lined badminton courts (which means we only need to tape the kitchen lines).

These will be for designated levels in correlation to the choice of the hosts who are volunteering.

Courts: 3-6 indoor badminton courts
Cost: Likely $3-8 (sliding scale). Must be a BPC member due to liability requirements.
