Black History month breakfast | Trent Building

Just a quick message to say thank you for this weeks camp. It was another very successful badminton camp and I believe that Martin has secured a few player joining the Nottingham team this year after their A Level Results. I honestly believe the camp is working for all parties and it would happen without everyones efforts and input so thank you everyone.

Sheffield Badminton Camp Nightingale

Just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you for the past 5 days. The preseason camp went really well and the boys and staff really enjoyed the time up at the University. The facilities were great, the schedule - testing but well planned and the accommodation and food was just what we needed.
