Players from the Wirral Badminton League were treated to a training and masterclass session by none other than World and Olympic medallists Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms on Sunday 5th December at Bidston Sports Centre. Nathan and Gail, along with trainer Andy Alford, put players through their paces during three sessions. It concluded with a session for a newly formed disability group – Bidston Sports Ability under the guidance of the event’s organiser Peter Jones from Bidston Badminton Club. Some players were lucky enough to play a mixed doubles game with Nathan and Gail. Alison Keighley from St Peters concluded “I was inspired – a really great event and I’ve taken away so many tips”. Nathan and Gail spent time at the end of each session to sign shirts, bags and pictures and have photos taken with the participants. The Wirral Badminton League’s new advertising banner was also unveiled on the day. Pictures of the event are available here and can be ordered via enquiries at andymeredith@tiscali.co.uk. Pictures are 8x6 and come in a 10x8 frame costing £4 including posting and packing. Proceeds from these sales will go to help fund the new Bidston Sports Ability centre.
