  • 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.

Female Emancipation in a Colonial Context: the Chinese Community in Singapore 1900-1942 By Wei-an Yang A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History June 2014 Abstract The advent of female Chinese immigrants was an important factor in shaping the Chinese community from an immigrant society into a stabilized community in Singapore at the beginning of the 20th century. Using a combination of Chinese language press and Colonial Office records, my study explores those primary sources to assess the voices of Chinese women, and examine how Chinese women were constituted as a group in the Chinese community during the colonial era. Chinese newspapers were an effective tool for disseminating information concerning nationalism in China as well as stirring up a consciousness of national identity within the Chinese community. Those activities carried out by the Kuomintang pushed forward the development of Chinese female education, and offered them opportunities to participate in the National Salvation Movement in the 1930s. On the other hand, three archetypes of Chinese woman - prostitutes, mui- tsais (domestic servants) and educated women - are introduced so as to examine their role in the formation of the Singapore Chinese community.

    Jy/ v/ *r i w^jS^M Number 8 April, 1967 Volume 5 EIGHTH BRITISH EMPIRE AND COMMONWEALTH GAMES - John La Porta - The Eighth British Empire and Commonwealth Games at Kingston, Jamaica, opened on Aug­ ust 4, 1966, and closed on August 13th. Jamaica was the smallest independent country ever to stage the games and we-nt all out to show the Commonwealth the great promotional capa­ bilities of the youngest country ever to host the Games. A total of 1,143 competitors from thirty-four countries were housed in the University of the West Indies buildings, which also had served as the village for the 1962 Central American and Caribbean Games. Three of the nine Games sports (boxing, cycling, and track and field) were held at the National Stadium, which was built for the independence celebrations and has a seating capacity of 33,000 of which 6,000 seats are under cover. A new Convention Hall (home of badminton and wrestling events) was constructed at a cost of 250,000 pounds especially for these Games; it Is situated opposite the National Stadium and adjacent to the swimming pool. The shooting events were held at Warelka Range, which Is behind the Stadium, and at Twichenham Park, which is twelve miles outside Kingston. Weight lifting took place at the Ward Theater in downtown Kingston with a seating capacity of one thousand. The coeduca­ tional school, Excelsior, was used to stage the fencing events. Postal Emissions On August 2, 1966, East Africa issued a set of four stamps commemorating the Games. This set was designed and printed by Harrison and Sons, Ltd., of London.

  • Times Are A-Changin'
    TALES COC THE NEWSLETTER OF BWF TECHNICAL OFFICIALS APRIL 2018 EDITION NO. 19 TIMES ARE A-CHANGIN’ By Torsten Berg Chair - BWF Referee Assessment Panel In 1963, we sang with Bob Dylan that “... you better start swimmin’, or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin’...” – and that’s still true today! The BWF Council has put forward rather radical proposals for changes to the Laws of Badminton which would change the scoring system, some of the service laws, and the law covering coaching in intervals, to the Annual General Meeting on 19 May, 2018. We, the technical officials, better start swimming to keep up with these changes, should they be approved, as they will considerably change the sport and how we do our job. We shall soon thereafter be ready with consequential amendments to the ITTO and possibly other BWF Statutes also, and we shall be ready to put the changes into practice on court. The purpose of the proposals seems to be to speed up the sport, shorten the length of matches, and improve the presentation, in particular, at the highest levels. Remember, a Law proposal, even coming from the BWF Council, is not in force until it is approved by the membership at the AGM. Remember too, that often these types of decisions may contain a date of implementation, so that the necessary consequential technical changes can be actioned. Several experienced TOs have lately asked if the proposed changes are already in force. The answer is no – only the AGM can change the Laws.
