Badminton Herts Development Committee
The Badminton Herts Development Committee (initially called HSBA-HBA Development Committee) was established in April 2005 for county development as required by Sport England and BADMINTON England (particularly for funding support). This was, and still is, to co-ordinate badminton development, to obtain support from our partners (see the committee, below), to obtain development funding and a full time Badminton Development Officer (no longer available Dec 2012). We complied with the BE/SE requirements to tailor the BE Whole Sport Plan to create our own specific ‘BADMINTON HERTS Whole Sport Plan 2005 – 2009’ which is available by clicking here: the end of the 5 year report is included in the annual development report for 2009 showing considerable success against the targets.
