Last Sunday was my first day of being a qualified badminton umpire and on that day I umpired the 4 Nation Badminton Disabled Games Semi-Finals and Finals. I have also been invited to line judge at the Danish Badmitnon Super-Series Open in Odense, in October which I am really looking forward to doing. Everything's booked so all I've got to do is pack :)

On my playing side, I played at Holmview badminton club, RVBA and Penarth Junior badmitnon club so I am now ready for my first tournament of the season, the Swansea JSS tomorrow. Incidentally I was also there today umpiring it.
