As you all know Marcus Ellis and his partner Chris Langridge won the Olympic Bronze medal this year in the mens doubles.
 
On the 29th November Marcus is visiting his junior and secondary school, along with his first badminton club ---- Valley St James !   (Chris Langridge was meant to be attending but now is unable to make it)
 
The evening is being organised by Badminton England but will be held at our club night from 7pm and will be a meet and greet session, a question and answer session and then the opportunity to play some games with Marcus.  Badminton England want the evening to be opened up to all players in the Huddersfield League so an email has gone out to all the Clubs to let them know about this. Although we won’t be able to have our usual club night I’m sure you will all agree that it is amazing for our Club to be recognised in such a way and  we would all like to be able to congratulate Marcus on his success.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club nights are every Tuesday 7:15pm - 9:45pm at Newsome High School.
