‘Overnight Badminton’ to return

The ‘Overnight Badminton’ fundraising event is set to return for its third year over the weekend of week eight.

The event, which raises money for RAG, is set up by the badminton club, but will also include both the squash and table tennis clubs. The aim is to play the sports from 8pm on the Saturday evening until 8am the following morning, with the regular badminton club session and college and University team training following on for what would be 21 hours of straight racquet sports.

There will be a £3 charge to take part in the event, with raffles, games and refreshments on offer in addition to the sport itself.

The badminton club have recorded donations of around £1000 on previous occasions, and hope to break this record at this year’s event.
