woop! two of my pics were in the Badminton magazine! dead impressed, check out the bottom of page 43 in the most recent issue - the article about Beachminton next stop - the All England poster hahahaha - in my dreams...
I am assuming coops means the Badminton England Magazine. Anyone who can scan the pages in please post.
Isn't that terrible? Teasing us by saying the pictures are published and then us not even being able to access the picture!! hmmph!!
oh.. oops sorry guys.. busy at work - not been checking BC as often as i used to.. most of you won't have access to the Badminton England magazine.. and i havent got a scanner - but the two pictures that they used are attached. thanks Neil
Forgive me please for being blunt... but this just isn't badminton This is akin to football in an elevator or ice-hockey on grass. Is Badminton England so hard up for ideas that they must promote 'Beachminton'? Beach-minton? Argh! Pretty soon we'll be hearing about Beachminton England Yes, your photographs do convey 'fun' but they also reinforce the impression that badminton is a backyard sport requiring as much skill as it takes to play catch with a Labrador Retriever Having said that, your pictures are of wonderful quality Congratulations.
Really really hope this 'beachminton all england' will be extinct .... Anyway its nice if we having training at beach ...
Hmm yeah same thing I thought. Maybe the next edition of the maagzine should show the statistics for badminton to show truly how hard it is? I agree with Oldhand - but congratulations
Yeah, the sport of badminton doesn't need to be promoted as a back garden sport, show me someone hitting a huge jumpsmash or a diving save of a huge jumpsmash, that'll get people thinking this is a serious sport. Still, congratulations.
Beachminton?.. its a good way to promote badminton though... maybe the weather there is to attract the crowd.
