2011/2 Seasons Events
Event:Inter-Commands
Date:17-18 Nov 11
Location:HMS Neptune
Notes:HMS Neptune is fast becoming the home of RN Badminton and provides and excellent venue for arguably one of the best events of the year. If not too familiar with competitive badminton – or just want to find out what its all about, or equally want to show the RNBA you are good enough to be on the RN team, please come along.
Event: Individual/Open Championships
Date: 26-27 Jan 12
Location: HMS Temeraire
Notes: A great event where you will be guaranteed to get some good games with the opportunity to play both players on a similar level whilst also being exposed to Navy standard play (admittedly not always that high!). It is also the opportunity for the RNBA to pick the players for the Training Weekend (coaching by ex-England player) with the likelihood of then selecting them for the Inter-Services.
Event: Training Weekend
Date: 18-19 or 25-26 Feb 12
Location: Badminton England Arena, Milton Keynes
Notes: If there is one event you should aspire to attending – this has to be it. Fantastic opportunity to raise your game.
Event: Inter-Services
Date: 3-7 Mar 12
Location: RAF Halton
Notes: Hosted by perpetual winners of this competition (can we get our names on those trophies??), the Inter-Services is the highlight of the RNBA year.
