Badminton is an Olympic sport with a strong history of growth, achievement and delivery. It is the 6th most participated in sport in this country, and is the most popular of the racket sports. BADMINTON England’s goal is to become the number one badminton playing nation by 2016, and to grow the game of badminton through increased participation, all delivered through a ‘fit for purpose’ organisation. In London, these goals are clearly articulated through BADMINTON England’s Regional Plan 2009 – 2013: Badminton Serving London. Building on existing relationships, seeking out and establishing new partnerships, and ultimately bringing people together that have a common interest, that is at the very heart of the Regional Plan. Brunel University has been one of BADMINTON England’s key partners for a number of years now, supporting us in delivering both our elite and grass roots objectives. Brunel is a hub for the London Regional Team, hosting the North and West London Regional Officer, who is based in the Indoor Athletics Centre. The officer is on hand to guide and support grass roots badminton within the University and the community. Whether it is playing, coaching or volunteering, if you would like to get involved in this great sport then don’t hesitate to get in touch with jennydouch@badmintonengland.co.uk
