The latest North Tyneside Social Badminton Tournament, held in the 8 court sports hall at John Spence Community High School in North Shields, attracted yet another record entry, with 87 players entering.  There were one or two last minute injuries, but over 80 players turned up on the day to take part in what was another highly successful and enjoyable tournament.  There was a huge range of ages – from 15 to 75!!  Players came from all over the region to take part, and one player even travelled from Scotland to partner his girlfriend!  It was really good to see more new faces as well as several familiar ones.  There were some family pairings too.  The atmosphere was once again really friendly, and social, yet competitive, and quite a few spectators turned up to watch and support, including the injured Jo Donaldson (Jo normally wins a trophy or two!!) who thoroughly enjoyed watching many excellent games.  The overall standard for the tournament was very good, considering these tournaments are for players who do not play on League or County teams, and who generally play for fun socially.
