BADMINTON GAME
ASSOCIATION FORMED IN AUCKLAND CLUB COMPETITION MOOTED An Auckland Badminton Association came into being at an enthusiastic meeting of delegates from the badminton clubs of Auckland city and suburbs, held last evening. Subject to the approval of the Dominion controlling body, the new association will control the sport in the Auckland Province. Mr. R. Pc. Bell presided. This latest move is the result of the rapid growth of the game as a winter pastime in recent years. It was decided to submit copies of the rules to delegates, who will meet again next Thursday. The appointment of a management committee was deferred until the next meeting. Subject to the hall being available, it was decided to hold the provincial championships on August 34. 15. and 16. The meeting decided that clubs be divided into zones for the purposes of an inter-club competition; that teams consist of four women and four men; and that four men’s doubles, four women s doubles, and four combined doubles be played. In the various zones, the competition will be a play-all one, with the winners playing off. An interchange of members on inter-club nights will be made by the clubs engaged.
