2008-Fall News:

Anne Henderson has notified Badminton Victoria that "This year is the 75th anniversary of the Muriel Knott Tournament (Saanich Open). It runs Nov. 17 - 23rd. We are going to have a history reminder on the Sat. night at the pot luck dinner. We would like any players who have ever played in the event to attend. All we ask is they bring a dish for the dinner. It will be on Sat. 23rd at 8p.m. We have cleaned and repaired some of the old trophies and will work on the other ones so we can give them out to the winners (not to keep). Any questions, contact me before Sept. 24th or after Nov. 3rd. (email is saerhenderson at shaw dot ca)"

2008-05 News:

$200 was donated by Victor as the top prize draw to assist privately funded Badminton Clubs in our area. Margaret on the far left hand delivered the cheque to Jessie Rogers, Anne Henderson, Pat Kirk, Marilyn Sluggett.  Jessie, Anne, Pat and Marilyn are Brentwoood Badminton Club members and they were thrilled to receive the $200.  The location is Rob and Geraldine's Prospect Lake home.

 
Margaret also tracked down David Niven to give him his Lucky Mini Shuttle.
But we all know that David doesn't need any luck!

We're getting to the end of the Victor Prizes for Members.  Economics dictate that the lower the supply the larger the demand.  This proved true as Ron Pacey recieved his lucky mini shuttle, and it immediately drew a crowd. Hang on to that mini shuttle tight, Vivian Yan and Ron Jordan are ready to pounce!
