National Badminton Week is scheduled for September 7th to the 13th this year. The week is quickly approaching, and we at Badminton Ireland would like to keep you up to date on the events we have planned. Additionally, we hope you will take the following information and share it with local area. Your involvement to help promote badminton around the country is greatly appreciated.
First and foremost, this week will be in collaboration with the Irish Sports Council and the European Week of Sport in Ireland. Any and all events hosted by Badminton Ireland, clubs, schools, or other associations can register their event at this link: http://ec.europa.eu/sport/week/take-part/register-event_en.htm for increased coverage. Events can be listed on social media using the hash-tag #BeActive. It would be great if you could help advertise this event in your local area so that local people who play and do not play know what is going on.
Our overall goal this year is to increase awareness of and participation in the sport of badminton. We hope to do so by involving all branches, counties, clubs, Local Sports Partnerships and schools in the events we are planning. Our main promotion this year will be the social media based Badminton Ireland 60 Second Challenge. We will also be hosting badminton exhibitions around different areas in the country. Another aim of ours is to increase youth involvement by incorporating our Teicnic programme and Shuttle-Time programme in schools around the country. Finally, we hope to involve charity work in our schedule. We have been in contact with Breast Cancer Ireland and hope to partner our events with their charity. We intend to raise some much needed funds for this great charity along with promoting badminton across the country. All events and updates can be followed online using the hash-tag #natbadmintonweek.
While we hope that you are interested in the above events, we would also like to request ideas, suggestions, or any related comments for National Badminton Week. We are all striving for success, and your involvement will set us up for greater results. In addition, if you could please share the above information on your local website and schools along with a request to anyone who is planning an event for National Badminton Week that they share these events with Badminton Ireland and the European Week of Sport via the above link, it would be greatly appreciated. We know that many clubs and schools have not yet started back but we would like to get this information out so that they are aware of all the events that are going to be arranged during National Badminton Week.
Thank you for taking the time to read through our ideas for National Badminton Week, and for sharing your ideas as well. We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Badminton Ireland
