Kildare Badminton Association held a very successful fund raising event in Kilcullen Town Theatre last night.

Calling all Badminton clubs the new season is up and running Why not give me a call and let me know what is happening in your club. Have you any new members did all the present ones come back yet? Do you have a juvenile section or are you interested in starting up one, give me a call see what we can do for you. Do not forget to visit our stand at the ploughing championships you would be surprised what you might get.

Another Successful Juvenile Badminton Camp was held again this year in Kilcullen Community Centre. A total of 26 children aged 8 yrs-17 yrs took part in the summer camp which was led by Claire Flood-International player and coach and assisted by BI Coach Sheila Smyth. The camp ran from June 29th-July 4th. Due to demand another camp is being planned for August. Players from Blessington, Hollywood, Naas, Dunlavin & Kilcullen took part and a super time was had by everyone with fun, friendship and competition being the order of the day. Prizes, fresh fruit, mineral water ,snacks and a group photograph was given to all participants as a momento of a great week.

I have very little news as the season in this neck of the woods is about to take a break for the summer.
