Comments from Don Paquette regarding the Abbotsford Badminton Tournament held the week-end of March 21st, 22nd, 2009 with approximately 60 entries involving Juniors to Seniors.
Because of the low entry, we were able to complete the tournament in one day on Saturday, 21st. However, I understand there were plenty of games to keep the players quite active and satisfied. We haven’t had a tournament for a few years and hopefully this will be the start for the future.
I’m happy to say Abbotsford Club members went out of their way to help,and I give them a big pat on the back as the tournament ran smoothly.
Thanks to Les Timar, Lee Timar, and Jim Hill who took care of the draw and kept it moving. A thankyou to Holly Thompson who took care of the kitchen. Well done. We must not forget Greg Clark who was available to help and take care of the shuttles. Lee Timar, Greg Clark, and Holly Thompson are long time Abbotsford players.
We thank the MEI School for the use of the school facilities for this event.
