Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this report, I think it’s important to define the Who, What, What, Where, How and most importantly Why. Who are we? Waikato Badminton Association exists of 26 Affiliated Member clubs and all their individual affiliates (player members) as well as the 7-person Board of Director, our Life Members, a President, Vice President, Patron, our 4-paid staff lead by our Chief Executive Officer. What are we? Well, we are many things to our many different partners but first and foremost we are a Regional Sporting Organisation (RSO) What do we do? This is laid out in the WBA Constitution. 3.1 The Objects (Aims, Goals, Objectives) of Waikato Badminton are: (a) To foster, encourage and promote the sport of badminton within the Area; (b) To promote public health and wellbeing by developing badminton as a preferred means of recreational fitness; (c) To make badminton accessible to the public community within the Area, for all ages and abilities; (d) To provide a central public recreational facility within the Area to allow community involvement in badminton, from grassroots to an elite level; (e) To promote friendly relationships and foster goodwill among Members; (f) To control, administer and regulate the sport of badminton in the Area and to improve the standard of play of badminton in the Area; (g) To promote, control, administer and regulate badminton tournaments, ties and competitions Where are we? Our area is the greater Waikato region and extends from Turangi and Taumarunui in the South to Te Kauwhata, Whitianga and Coromandel in the North and from Raglan in the West to Waihi in the East. Badminton NZ sees our area as slightly smaller. And Sport NZ see us in both. How do we do it? Well we have a Vision being Badminton for ALL ages, ALL abilities, ALL year round and we have developed a new Strategic plan with Key strategic themes: 1. More Players, More Often 2. Financial Sustainability 3. Coaching & Training 4. Stakeholder engagement 5. Facilities 6. Events We are working hard to achieve the goals and objectives in that plan. In 2017 we were successful in achieving the targets set in all strategic themes of the plan. In some themes we have already achieved the 2020 outcomes. Why do we do it? Why do we, the members and staff and volunteers, jointly spend 10’s of thousands of hours playing badminton and watching badminton and doing all the things that make it possible for everyone to play. Why do we, the WBA, have a Badminton Specific Multi-million-dollar Stadium (debt free). Why do we raise and spend 400,000 every year? Well, I guess we all have slightly different reasons but the best reason I heard this year was conveyed to me by one of the Waikato Junior Reps at the Under15 Team Nationals in Palmy. I was coaching him, and he was playing well against a good opponent. He was up 10-9 in the second set and he had an epic rally of 20 shots. He was playing wonderful fast attacking mistake free badminton to all the corners moving well and defending and attacking with great shots and quick footwork. It was a “WOW moment” for his Mum, Grandparents, me and his team who were also watching. He won the point, 11-9 Interval, and as I walked up to him he was puffing but smiling and had a sparkle in his eyes and Todd said, “That was cool fun”. That’s my “why we do it” in 3 words “Badminton is fun.” It’s fast, fun, competitive and easy to play and understand but the more you put in the more you get out. It’s great to watch and rewarding to play. It’s serious fun. From the first time you put a racquet in a child’s hand and give them a shuttle to hit, to top players like Oliver Leydon-Davis you see that same look of enjoyment. ALL ages ALL abilities ALL year round. This vision is shared and supported by two of our most important partners and we have partnership agreements signed in 2017 with both Badminton New Zealand and Sport Waikato. I’m proud to be part of the Waikato Badminton Assn because we all seem to have the same passion for the Sport of Badminton and the people who play it. We take having fun on a Badminton court seriously and off the court we do what we can to make people feel welcome and valued. Thank you to all the Players, Coaches, Managers, Team Captains, Parents, Families, Court Officials, Court Sweepers, Club Volunteers, Supporters, Staff, Life Members, Sponsors, Patron, Junior Convenor, Funders, Business Partners and Board Members because it’s your efforts that made 2017 another great year for WBA. In case you were wondering what my coaching advice to Todd was, “have a drink, take a few deep breaths and go back out and have fun.” The Nuts and Bolts of 2017 are mostly covered in other Reports but as I have said, 2017 was a good and successful year for WBA in many ways. The WBA Board of Directors are in my completely biased opinion the best and hardest working and nicest group of people. I know they all share a passion for Badminton and sport. Their guidance and inspirational governance has kept WBA going and growing. Thanks Fiona, Paul, Rupinder, Stu, Alison, Carol, Jair and Susannah, keep up the good work. Our CEO TJ is the best and WBA is very lucky he has chosen to lead our team because with his skill set, work ethic and contacts he could be leading much higher-level teams. He shares, inspires, encourages and coaches the WBA team (Clubs, Staff Board, Officials, Volunteers and Players) in the serious business of delivering a fun Badminton experience. He is also our Stadium Manager, Eastlink Sporting Hub Chairman, and can find ways to make big piles of smelly poo disappear in a cloud of rose scented mist. Thanks TJ. Our staff all have important roles in our business of delivering badminton fun. Tracey Hallam is our new Director of Coaching leading a team of coaches and creating new coaches for all ages and abilities of players in the Waikato. Coaching and training programmes were and are a key theme in WBA success. Tracey has a long relationship with WBA and is doing a great job in her new role with us. Welcome home Tracey. Felicity Leydon-Davis is our newest staff member and has the role of Schools & Events Manager. She coordinates and runs competitions, Tournaments and is our Shuttle Time Coordinator. She organises and delivers all WBA Tournaments including Junior Non-Rep, Primary School, Intermediate Schools, Secondary Schools, Interclub, District and Community, Inter Association, National and International as well as Coordinating and delivering a Fun Badminton experience to over 3000 Waikato School children. It’s Huge and she is Great. Loloma Foster is our longest employed and for many years our only staff member. She took over the Secretary/Treasurer/ Office and Stadium Manager role for the WBA Management Committee 19 years ago when it became too much for volunteers to do properly. Her hard work, attention to detail, knowledge, integrity, reputation and track record are important reasons why she has a good and trusted relationship with many of our funders. Successful Grant applications are vital for us to deliver badminton at the levels we do. Thank you Loloma for your contribution to a financially successful and on Budget 2017. Sadly 2017 will be remembered as the year our Patron Pat Dallinger MBE passed away. Pat was our Patron not only in title but in her actions and the way she contributed and participated in almost all our tournaments. functions and events. She was our biggest fan and supporter, but she was so much more. She shaped and guided and formed the WBA. She contributed so much in so many ways, encouraged, gave good advice and her support and friendship to everyone involved from junior players to CEO’s and Presidents was enormous. We all felt like part of her family and hopefully she felt like part of ours. She respected and valued the code of conduct that reinforces and enhances the enjoyment of playing Badminton. She attended most of our Management Committee Meetings over the 8 years I was involved in them. I’m sure she did this long before that. Her opinion was listened to and valued, her thoughts and ideas helped shape Waikato Badminton into what we are today. On a personal note, she was the reason I stood for the Management Committee 12 years ago. Pat encouraged me too. I will miss Pat and her advice, encouragement and friendship and I know everyone at WBA feels the same.

As you hear and read the other reports in this AGM Report I am sure you will agree. 2016 was the first year of our new Constitution that changed the way Waikato Badminton delivered badminton to the Waikato from a Management Committee of 10 Volunteers to a smaller Board of Directors and a CEO to organise, plan, direct and lead our association. Thanks to the vision, hard work and input from previous Management Committees as well as the input and support from Badminton New Zealand, Sport Waikato, Sport NZ, Life Members and Clubs members. We now have a solid constitution that has set Waikato Badminton up to continue to perform its role as a Regional Sporting Association for many years to come and deliver Badminton to families, schools, clubs, community groups and individuals of the wider Waikato region and it seems to be working very well so far.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

Greetings to our IC members in NZ and around the world. It is a couple of months since our last newsletter and we have a mixture of very good and sad news. We have lost two of our best known and long standing Members. Our Hon Treasurer for over 25 years Paul Thomson died after a sudden illness and Heather Robson MNZM, wife of our Patron Jeff Robson, but a member in her own right, died recently after being unwell for the past year. There will be more news about these two members in the newsletter. The better news is that although we have enjoyed visits to our country by teams from France, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic in the last few years, we have travelled ourselves with 2 teams representing ICNZ playing overseas in the last 2 months. It always takes many months to organise teams, especially when we entered a men’s team in the IC France Week to help celebrate their 90th anniversary.
