Charity Marathon
After a long while planning the club will be attempting a Guinness World Record with a British Record at the same time.
We are doing the record in aid of Cancer Research UK with everyone raising money for the cause.
The record, as the title suggests, is a marathon of playing badminton continually non-stop.
The current records are:
Doubles: 32hr 25min.
Singles: 24hr 31min.
For the doubles record the following players will be attempting it:
Dave Hambly - Level 2 Coach
Tom Lee - Member of KSJBC
Cody Landricombe - Member of KSJBC
Willem Swann - Member of KSJBC
For the singles record the following players will be attempting it:
Chris Hambly - Level 1 Coach
Shaun Cooper - Level 1 Coach
We shall be attempting both records at the same time.
The record shall be recorded and reported as per the Guinness World Record standards with each and every game being fully recorded.
We have also decided to allow fellow players/members and families to come along and support us and play alongside us on the first day to further help raise money.
