Throughout the 2016 Rio Olympics the theme using “Team GB” has been to inspire people to get involved in sport. This was embodied by our Badminton Bronze medalist Men’s Doubles partnership of Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis who were keen to show the joy they get from their sport and encourage people to give it a go! This was the first time Team GB have won a medal in Badminton Men’s Doubles, the first since Gail Emms and Nathan Robertson in 2004 and only the 3rd ever medal in badminton for British athletes. For any Newtonians inspired to try the sport why not come along to Aycliffe Badminton Club? We meet every Friday night from 7.30 to 9.30 at Aycliffe Leisure Centre.
