The Badminton Section has the following internal tournaments:
POTTER TROPHY (Mens and Ladies Doubles)
These trophies were donated to the club by Tom and Marjorie Potter, two stalwart members over many years. They were first contested in 1984 and it was fitting that the first winner of the Mens competition was Richard Potter, son of Tom. Since then the event has also been won by Phil Potter, Richard's son.
STRINGFELLOW TROPHY (Mixed Doubles)
The oldest trophy in the badminton section, the Stringfellow trophy, the club's open competition for Mixed Doubles. This has always been the premier event in the calendar. Subject to the number of pairs entered, we will try to run it on a mini-league basis, so that all pairs enjoy a good evening of badminton. A final will then feature the pairs with the best record over the evening in a play off for the Trophy.
MIXED HANDICAPPED DOUBLES
This event is played in a format where each game is played with a different partner. Each individual's handicap being added together for the particular pairing. It is a very enjoyable and energetic evening allowing players of differing standard to play equitably together.
