Organisers have confirmed a strong prize structure, with champions set to receive £500 and trophies, while runners up and third place finishers will also be rewarded. Beyond the prizes, the event aims to celebrate participation, camaraderie, and the continued growth of badminton within local communities.

The venue at William Edwards School offers an accessible and well equipped setting, ideal for both players and spectators. Refreshments will be available throughout the day, helping to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

Key figures behind the tournament, including Belal, Shahed, and Jakwan, have worked closely with sponsors and partners to deliver a professionally run event. Their efforts highlight the importance of community-led initiatives in sustaining and developing sport at grassroots level.

As the registration deadline passes and final preparations are made, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be a lively and competitive day of badminton.
