UKBA Announcements
Brim, Howard H
Hey Everyone,
I have a few announcements to make regarding badminton for the academic year.
First and foremost, I would like to announce that starting today, our very own Russell Howard will be taking over as President of the University of Kentucky Badminton Association. Russell’s badminton skill and love for the sport have both grown greatly over the past year while he has served as our club’s secretary, and I believe that he will be a great leader for our association!
Next, due to the loss of Alumni gym, several sports clubs will now be utilizing the Seaton gym during the week. I am not certain of the specifics yet, but I will tell you what I have heard so far: 1) the Seaton gym will be open from 4pm to 12am Monday- Friday; 2) Seaton will be under the control of the Johnson Center and therefore have the same rules of entry as the JC, meaning you must have a valid UK ID and a JC membership to gain access to the courts (unless you pay the $5 guest fee).
Our new club officers, which I will let Russell announce, will be attending the club sports meeting which will be held in the next couple weeks where they will learn more about the new set up. For now, I will just ask that everyone be patient while the officers get things set up with this new system and get us back to playing badminton on a regular schedule.
The one thing I have always loved about UKBA is that everyone shares a common passion for playing badminton whether it be for winning, exercise, or just for fun. Let’s not forget that passion as we get ready for a new semester of smashing shuttles in Lexington !!!
