  • 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.

  • Blueprint Parish Response
    Alresford RUFC – LDF Submission 2010 Management Summary Please find below the Business Plan for Alresford Rugby Club which, after 19 years of participation in senior rugby, is now aiming to expand and develop its position in the local community as well as grow within the Hampshire rugby playing fraternity. The club is fortunate in having, for its size, a number of competent volunteers, team coach’s, first aid personnel and a clear management structure. Financially the club is in a sound position and although it has no ‘bar’ income it is well backed by local sponsors and some key fund raising activities. The club is fast approaching a cross roads where it cannot guarantee to continue playing on an outside town, grace and favour pitch, whilst in the meantime it has attracted more and more young players who have left the Perins School, the majority who live within the town. The club requires a pitch in the town boundary and with the support of the local council, and a piece of suitable land available next to Arlebury Park, it has a golden opportunity to relocate its playing base to the centre of town. This will enhance the opportunity for young players to train and play, for the club, deepen relations with Perins School (which is over the road from Arlebury Park) and provide an improved match day experience for players, opponents and supporters. The Town Council is prepared to assist in this vital initiative by sponsoring a Compulsory Purchase Order for the land adjacent to Arlebury Park. The land is sufficient to provide 2 pitches, and a training area, whilst the rugby club already enjoys the changing, showering and match day entertainment facilities at Arlebury Park.
