- YOUTH FORUM 16-25 BADMINTON FESTIVAL RECEIVES THE OLYMPIC INSPIRE MARK AND PROVES A HUGH SUCCESS
The North West Youth Forum successfully delivered the 16-25 Badminton Festival at the University of Chester on the 19th March 2011. The day was divided into two sections, the morning session offered players the chance to receive some coaching from two local County Players, Leah Singleton and Danny Finn. The afternoon session was a doubles competition, which 12 doubles pairs competed in .
Players who fall within this age group often struggle to access competition so this day was the perfect opportunity for them to compete against players their own age within a fun environment. The event was also awarded the official Olympic Inspire Mark award back in January 2011. Being the first badminton event to achieve this status was a great achievement. The fact the event was designed and delivered by young people, for young people was recognised as being unique and inspiring.
The North West Forum will shortly be recruiting new members to join the group. The Forum will then be putting together plans for future events similar to the one which ran in Chester. Nick Rimmer, NW Regional Manager added “The event was a huge success and it was great to see so many young people participating. We hope the NW Youth Forum will lead the delivery of these type of events at other locations across the North West in the future”

BADMINTON England would like to thank the Youth Forum members for all their hard work with the preparation and delivery of this event.
