What's New
We are planning to
start and register a sports club with specific focus on
Badminton. This club will be ratified by the
Badminton England - BADMINTON England is the sport's
governing body in England and actively promotes and
encourages its development from grass roots, through
clubs, local leagues and county organisations to the
National Squad.
First
a question. Why do we need a club?
One of
society’s nature is to band like minds together, think
of all the organisations there are for thousands of
different activities. A club enables the participants,
the members, to partake in organised, structured
activities, to compete and to socialise.
In its
own right this may be enough to encourage people to
start a badminton club, but recent developments in the
management of sport are bringing different initiatives
to bear on club start-ups.
The National Sports
Strategy, states that clubs are the core of future
success for sport, indeed the Leisure Industry is
recognising the role that clubs play in developing our
sports. Local Authorities, Management Companies and
education are now not only looking at issues such as,
are the clubs using their facilities, properly
constituted, financially viable, equitable and child
friendly, but also are they adequately insured and
accountable for their actions. These areas are being
looked on as best practice, but also have a legal
standing under the Health and Safety and Children’s
Acts.
