It was a great session at Badminton last night. It was good to see Jon playing with us again, and we welcomed new players Sharon, Sarah and Keri.

Afterwards Stu entertained us with a quick pub quiz. Congrats to Keri's team for the win - a bit of beginners luck helping maybe?

See you all on Tuesday for more badminton and maybe another quiz.

Did you watch any of the Badminton from Paris 2024? You may have watched Team GB's Kirsty Gilmour, an out and proud LGBTQ athlete. Unfortunately she was the only LGBTQ badminton player at this year's Olympics, but we hope that her representation will help change attitudes around the world and make it easier for other LGBTQ players to feel accepted. Read more about Kirsty at https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24484186.kirsty-gilmour-proud-lgbtq-badminton-player-olympics/

Thankfully Brighton and Hove is a wonderfully tolerant city, and for the last 27 years we at BLAGSS have been able to come together and play badminton with other LGBTQ people and allies. If that sounds like your thing, come and join us. See https://www.blagss.uk/badminton for more info.

Kirsty Gilmour is proud as punch to be the only out LGBTQ badminton player at the Olympics.
