Top class badminton returns to Mid-Glamorgan this coming April, the 2008 edition of the Sue Noake Mid-Glam Open Badminton Championships are being held at the University Of Glamorgan Sports Centre on April 12th 2008, this season sees the tournament being part of Welsh Badminton's 'Welsh Senior Series', and Badminton England's 'Carlton Orbital' circuit.

 

Tournament organiser and WSS player Vaughn Tovey commented 'The Sue Noake Mid-Glam Open tournament this season is offering £600 in prize money, which is one of only 2 I can think of which offer prize money in Wales, this is only possible with the help of generous sponsors: Carlton, Richard Vaughan badminton academy, FD Systems, Alzak and the University Of Glamorgan, - I'd like to thank them all for their involvement with the tournament, without them, prize money would not be possible.'

 

Vaughn went on to say 'This season the tournament is the only tournament in the UK to hold dual circuit status, we are part of the WBU's Welsh Senior series, and Badminton England's Carlton Orbital circuit, I am hoping having players from both series at one event will make for a popular and strong entry, previous years the entry has been phenomenally good, and I am hoping this year will be no different. As with previous tournaments, I am sure it will remember Sue Noake in a fitting manner'

 

Entry forms for the tournament can be downloaded from the WBU and BE websites, in addition - an online entry form has been created.
