The Committee are delighted that the trophies tonight are presented by Kim and Richard Cureton who you will all know as stalwart members of Pioneers Badminton Club and supporters of both the league and tournaments for many years.
Kim and Richard are well known for their relaxed, chilled out approach to the game but woe betide anyone who doesn't notice the determination and committment in every shot. Kim is well known to fit in a sneaky fitness class before a match to make sure she is fired up and ready for the opposition!
