  • 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.

  • RACE HANDBOOK 47Th Edition - 10Th June 2012 Girvan: South Ayrshire
    RACE HANDBOOK 47th Edition - 10th June 2012 Girvan: South Ayrshire 1 | P a g e Welcome to the 47th South Carrick David Bell Memorial Race Here we go again! Can it really be a year since our last outing? Time plays tricks for sure, but fresh and vivid are my memories of watching Rapha-Condor-Sharp’s James McCallum conquer our strada grigio before launching his audacious winning attack. As cycling-journalist Ed Hood observed “I didn’t think sprinters were meant to win on their own!” Ours is a race we refer to as a Scottish ‘monument’ and 2011 will long be remembered a classic; not only for the unfolding drama of the race but also the stunning backdrop. Goosebumps watching the bunch ascend onto the barren moor road above Dalmellington; the thrill of seeing the pack rocket around the twists and turns of the Loch Doon road, and the cacophonous racket and dust cloud as we hit the now-fabled Carrick Forest Drive for the very first time! “I was there” – that’s all we’ll ever need to say. This year, our 47th Edition, sees our race grow again with our promotion to ‘National A’ status. We welcome our title sponsors, South Ayrshire Council and South Carrick Community Leisure, who have bought into our vision to put the Davie Bell on the national and international stage by 2015. This will mark the 50th running of the event honouring our club founder, and popular wordsmith David E.T. Bell. What would Bell make of the race run in his name? If truth be told he was no racer, but as an adventurer and pioneer I like to think he would admire our bold ambitions.

  • Josh Taylor Moves to Top Rank and Closer to 140-Pound Classic Against Jose Ramirez
    Opening The Door: Josh Taylor moves to Top Rank and closer to 140-pound classic against Jose Ramirez By Norm Frauenheim- Top Rank’s roster got deeper and its reach grew farther with Thursday’s surprising announcement that it had signed Josh Taylor, the Scottish junior-welterweight whose imminent stardom was evident in his majority decision over Regis Prograis for two of the 140-pound belts in late October. It was the second signing of worldwide significance for Top Rank, which signed bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue on the same day in November when he beat Nonito Donaire in a Fight of the Year performance. From Japan to Scotland, the sun never sets on Top Rank’s promotional empire these days. The top of the pound-for-pound debate provides a pretty good look at a promotional roster that is long on substance and name recognition. Among the top five, the order changes, but three are Top Rank fighters – Terence Crawford, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Inoue. Canelo Alvarez of Golden Boy and Errol Spence Jr. of PBC complete the elite five. There’s a chance, a good one, that more Top Rank fighters will begin to climb into pound-for-pound consideration on Top Rank’s ESPN schedule throughout 2020. There’s light- heavyweight Artur Beterbiev, junior-welterweight Jose Ramirez, lightweight Teofimo Lopez, featherweight Shakur Stevenson, junior-featherweight Emanuel Navarrete and now Taylor. For Taylor, it all depends on how he does against Ramirez. Taylor’s new deal opened the door for a Taylor-Ramirez fight for all of the relevant pieces to the 140-pound puzzle.
