23.08.11

Exclusive Members’ Tour back on the road this weekend!

At BADMINTON England we are always exploring for new ways to inform, engage and interact with our loyal members whilst building significant added value into your membership experience with us.

This year has seen the launch of our Exclusive Members Tour which so far has been a huge success. Down in the south, Winchester’s Westgate Badminton Centre played host to our first stop, and this bank holiday weekend sees the tour heading north.

Next stop; Loughborough University.
Places are still available, although filling up fast, so be sure to reserve your space today if want to get a head start on your opponents in the coming season. Saturday 27th August will see Olympic Silver Medallists and World, Commonwealth and European Champions Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms MBE heading to Loughborough University. Joining Nathan and Gail on court will be Andy Allford - Team Leader and fitness coach for the GB Badminton squad heading to London 2012.

This 2 hour session, which focuses on footwork, technique and tactics is sure to be one training session you will not want to miss!

There’s no rest for the infamous trio, who will be heading straight up to Manchester’s Belle Vue Leisure Centre on Sunday 28th August, where again a few spaces are still available.

The tour will be completed later in the year, down in the South West. Wellington School in Wellington (near Taunton) concludes the tour on Saturday 1st October 2011.

With spaces still available for all 3 remaining venues, please see details of the events below.
