Open and Veteran Badminton Results

The Open and Veterans Badminton Championships were held on 12 and 13 February 2010.

The purpose built High Wycombe Badminton Centre hosted the tournament.

Two very busy days of competition were held and played with great enthusiasm and in great spirit.

Marian Holmes, Chief Executive of CSSC, attended on the first day to present the trophies.
