On 3 October 2026 Badminton Geelong turned 80. Members past and present came together in the Betty Sapwell Lounge for a celebratory dinner, a video presentation featuring long time members, and a booklet on the history of the club.

The club began as the Geelong Badminton Association, formed by six clubs at a meeting on Wednesday 29 May 1946. Eighty years on, it is still a place where people of every age and level come to play.
