About 30 TLBA girls went to the new Boardman Badminton Stadium in Sunbury on Thursday 8th August to participate in the annual round robin tournament organised by Sunbury Ladies’ Badminton Association. Several clubs took part, about 90 players in all. 10 TLBA players won either 1st or 2nd on their court, an excellent result. The tournament was followed by a delicious lunch catered for by the Sunbury ladies. If you didn’t go this year, make sure you go next year as it’s a fun day!
We would all like to say well done to Kay on her latest accolade.
The Julius L. Patching award is presented by the Victorian Olympic Council to sports volunteers who display outstanding contributions to their sport. Badminton Victoria nominated Kay for her contribution, longevity, and clear dedication to our sport.
“This award honours the unparalleled contribution of Julius L. Patching to the Victorian Olympic Council and the Olympic movement generally.
It recognises the pivotal role officials plain in maintaining the rich fabric of the Olympic and sporting communities of Victoria.”
Welcome back to all our players for 2013!
The Autumn season will begin on Thursday the 7th of February 2013.
Both sections can now find your teams and fixture up on the Fixture page of the website.
We will also be having a hit-up on the Thursday the 31st of January. Section 1 between 10am and noon, and Section 2 between noon and 2pm. Hope to see you all there :)
Dee Ryall, MP for Mitcham, will be visiting TLBA next Thursday, 9th August at 11am. It will be an opportunity to showcase our club and the local press have been invited to attend. We will offer morning tea to Dee and maybe give her a chance to try out her skills on the badminton court! We would ask section 1 players to be patient if play is held up a little and section 2 players are invited to come a little early if they want to be present for her visit.
Season 2 begins for section 2 players on Thursday 19th July (that’s today!) at 12:15pm and for section 1 players on Thursday 26th July at 9:30am.
