Cambridgeshire Junior Badminton Consultation Meeting

When :-  Tuesday 25th March 2014 7.30 - 9.00pm 

Where :- Cambridge Regional College Leisure Facility, Meeting Room adjacent to Sports Hall

Cambridgeshire Badminton Association would like to invite all interested parties to a consultation meeting  to discuss future structure and organisation for Junior Badminton under the Badminton England umbrella in Cambridgeshire.

The meeting will be Chaired by The present Senior Committee Chair  - Sharon Chandler 

Items needing to be discussed 

1. Volunteers - if junior teams representing Cambridgeshire are to continue we need more volunteers to act as committee members, team managers, fund raisers, mentors, selectors and organisers +/- helpers  for tournaments.

2. Chairperson for Junior Committee - this key role is currently unfilled - the Chair of the Senior Committee has been 'filing in' this year but this is unsustainable for next season.

3. Committee members - people with knowledge of junior players and a willingness to liaise with other junior club organisers to promote good relations and support of the county committee activities are urgently needed in order to sustain a healthy  county junior badminton structure.

4. Regular activities Cambridgeshire Badminton Association organise for juniors each  season

5. What other opportunities are open to junior county squads that we have been unable engage with, and why.

6. What are peoples perception of the Role of the Junior County Committee and how could that role be fulfilled effectively.

7. Any ideas on how we can promote sustainable and healthy relationships amongst junior cells /clubs/groups in the county to help facilitate a more cohesive junior county scene.

The meeting is open to anyone with an interest in junior badminton - you do not necessarily need to be involved with a junior club at present or desire to be involved in the future - if you have ideas we'd like to hear them, if you have suggestions please feel free to present them, if you want to be involved you will be very welcome, if you just want to come and hear what others have to say we will be glad to have you attend.

Hope to see you there.

Sharon Chandler - Chair Cambridgeshire Badminton Association
