  • Badminton England Strategy 2017-2025
    So many great things have happened across English badminton in recent years. Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge created history at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games when they won Great Britain’s first ever Men’s Doubles Medal, Chris and Gabby Adcock won the World Superseries Finals Mixed Doubles title in 2015, badminton secured its position as the nation’s most popular racket sport with almost 1m people playing every month, year on year the Yonex All England just got bigger and better with record breaking crowds attending the 107th Championships, we successfully bid for the Yonex All England to be recognised among the top 3 ‘majors’ of world badminton, our member and fan base grew to more than 150,000 people, we welcomed new commercial and broadcast partners to the organisation and we have experienced massive growth in digital engagement across the various platforms. Just some of the amazing achievements that provide the platform to deliver even greater growth and success for English badminton. Discover Badminton is a clear statement of intent to do just that. The development of the strategy involved more than 50 consultation days spanning the length and breadth of the country involving many County Badminton Associations, clubs, leagues, coaches and members. The message we heard was very clear; more badminton in schools, more support to clubs, more people playing and competing, more volunteers and increased help to the current volunteer workforce and more coaches when they are needed. We listened and we understood and the ‘asks’ of us are embedded into Discover Badminton. Discover Badminton is also a welcoming statement to anyone who wants to take part in our great sport.

  • The Leveson Inquiry Into the Cultures, Practices And
    For Distribution to CPs THE LEVESON INQUIRY INTO THE CULTURES, PRACTICES AND ETHICS OE THE PRESS WITNESS STATEMENT OE JAMES HANNING I, JAMES HANNING of Independent Print Limited, 2 Derry Street, London, W8 SHF, WILL SAY; My name is James Hanning. I am deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday and, with Francis Elliott of The Times, co-author of a biography of David Cameron. In the course of co-writing and updating our book we spoke to a large number of people, but equally I am very conscious that I, at least, dipped into areas in which I can claim very little specialist knowledge, so I would emphasise that in several respects there are a great many people better placed to comment and much of what follows is impressionistic. I hope that what follows is germane to some of the relationships that Lord Justice Leveson has asked witnesses to discuss. I hesitate to try to draw a broader picture, but I hope that some conclusions about the disproportionate influence of a particular sector of the media can be drawn from my experience. My interest in the area under discussion in the Third Module stems from two topics. One is in David Cameron, on whose biography we began work in late 2005, soon after Cameron became Tory leader. The second is an interest in phone hacking at the News of the World. Tory relations with Murdoch Since early 2007, the Conservative leadership has been extremely keen to ingratiate itself with the Murdoch empire. It is striking how it had become axiomatic that the support of the Murdoch papers was essential for winning a general election.
