Had this dissapointing response from Badminton England :-

" I have checked with our events department and the arrangement is that Welsh and Scottish representatives are invited to take part in competitions, but they cannot be affiliated as their home courts are not in England (which is the criteria for membership).

 
Appearing on our web site is a benefit of being affiliated to BADMINTON England, so I can not help you I'm afraid.
 
There are many unaffiliated leagues and clubs in England who would like to be on our site, but I dare not open the floodgates by adding yourselves on."

Gerry himself was very helpful but can only operate within Badminton Englands policy - here is the full email -

Hi Simon
 
Apparently not - I have checked with our events department and the arrangement is that Welsh and Scottish representatives are invited to take part in competitions, but they cannot be affiliated as their home courts are not in England (which is the criteria for membership).
 
Appearing on our web site is a benefit of being affiliated to BADMINTON England, so I can not help you I'm afraid.
 
There are many unaffiliated leagues and clubs in England who would like to be on our site, but I dare not open the floodgates by adding yourselves on.
 
kind regards

I would have thought we are affiliated as a county to badminton England as we are playing in the English Inter County Championships.
 
Are you sure we aren't affiliated ?
 
I appreciate your help on this.
 
kind regards

Hi Simon
 
We can only "publicise" BADMINTON England affiliated members on our site, and I was trying to establish whether or not your are affiliated as a league to BADMINTON England.
 
If Tina in membership hasn't got you as an affiliated member, then I'm sorry I can't put your league on our site.
 
kind regards
Gerry

Hi Tina, this is what I was asked for. We are a county team not a club.

Cheers and have a good weekend

Hi Simon
