On Sunday 11th December 2011, Howe Bridge Badminton Club held its inaugural badminton tournament.
The tournament was for young and developing players aged 16 and under. The tournament also had a social section which was well represented by various adult players from the local and wider badminton community.
The tournament was well supported and I met club coaches Chris Smith and Laura Egan and also played a game of badminton with Vicky Maltby (Badminton England) as her doubles partner.
I was also presented with a Howe Bridge Badminton Club T-shirt.
Howe Bridge Badminton Club is affiliated to Badminton England and is currently working towards Premier Club status, train every Saturday at Howe Bridge Leisure Centre, Atherton from 2pm to 4 pm. The training and playing sessions are for players aged 4 -16 and also for families.
