NNZWFS badminton club was initially started on 24th Feb 2021 to bring our community together who are interested in badminton as well as helping people socialise within the community along with the health benefits it can bring along. Initially, we had few casual members that gradually grew. Three months later, we were able to introduce a six-month membership plan. It has reduced the hassle of paying weekly and also helped the club to be long-term sustainable. NNZWFS provides the shuttles and pays the difference in the total cost of court hire as a support. Besides adult play-ers, young kids are also participating regularly and showing their interest in badminton. Currently, we have 16 members for six-month plan and expect to increase participation in the coming days. In the future, the club is planning to run a badminton session twice a week and hire additional courts as more people are showing a keen interest in playing badminton. On 1st August, Mr.Kesh Gurung Ji from Bay of Plenty travelled to Hamilton to provide our players one day of badminton training. It was a great opportunity for players to learn basic techniques and skills.
