Over 30 players took part in a special Over 50s North Tyneside Social Badminton Tournament in the sports hall at John Spence Community High School in North Shields, organised by North Tyneside Badminton Partnership. The ages of the players ranged from 50 to 75!!

It’s always so well organised and there was even a tub of chocolates that someone brought along. That’s my kind of tournament!!”
