Badminton club expands

by Jocelyn Trewby

The Badminton club has a larger number of active members than in previous years and the two teams entered in the inter-club competition are performing with merit. In the "A" reserve grade, Victoria is so far unbeaten. This team consists of Janet Miles, Jocelyn Trewby, Peter Wilson and Brian Quirke. Janet and Jocelyn have represented New Zealand Universities in the past and are again available this year.

Current trends within the club are an improvement in the quality of the women players, which is now of a high standard, and a dispersal of club strength which does not now lie solely with the top players.

Although represented by only two clubs in the town competition, the Victoria club is an active and growing one. It meets in the gym on Friday and Sunday evenings to provide an invigorating physical activity for all types of students.

From the large number of players willing to play inter-club Badminton, the B team is selected each week. Most consistent players for this team so far this season have been Sue Morris, Pat Tipler, Chin Le Poh, Seow Bin Gay and Allan Potter.
