What a GREAT turnout! Terrific day for badminton, great sportsmanship, lots of fun, laughter, and FANTASTIC play! We appreciate all those who traveled to Asheville to help make this Invitational a success. From 10 year old Shelby to the most  “mature” athletes, there was plenty of competition. Many thanks to the members of the ABC who assisted in all the little details. And thanks to the Montford Recreation Center for that extra hour. We have already come up with a more efficient way to display courts and players. Let us know what you thought and offer any  suggestions or ideas to help us make next year’s Fall Invitational even better by clicking on  comment above. If anyone has any pictures they would like to share, e-mail them to jorobert@mac.com as well.  See you on the courts!
