AndrewC Â Â 306 #1 Posted October 21, 2008 After some ponderin' about when this forum started I suggested to James and Nisha that I'd try and locate and read the first fledgling posts that set the Sheffield Forum Badminton Club on its merry way. Â As part of my 'research', which by the way the powers that be are refusing to pay me for, I have discovered that whilst the odd meeting of a couple of people did stem from the first month of postings on the first Sheffield Badminton Club thread, it was Tuesday, 24th October 2006 that the first group badminton night took place (at least this was the first time 4 or more met up to play and the first time on a Tuesday)! Â Therefore, I, your spiritual leader, proclaim the 24th October as SFBC's official birthday and we will be 2 years old this coming Friday. Â Â I will keep reading the thread the next time I get bored and I should have the first draft of the Official SFBC Biography off to HarperCollins within the year. Â Interesting Fact #1: The 24/10/2006 meet-up took place at Hillsborough Interesting Fact #2: The first few nights were planned for Thusday but other commitments and finally a tournament at Hillsborough Leisure Centre meant the day was shifted to Tuesday.

Jimmy O   10 #3 Posted October 22, 2008 Nice work Andrew!  After a quick scan through the original 84-page thread (yes I'm having a slow day at work), I've found the dates that our beloved leaders made their badminton debuts:  Paul - 10th April 2007 Jaap - 15th May 2007 Nisha - 11th September 2007 Andrew (spiritual leader) -15th January 2008  So there you go.  James  PS My debut was on the 31st July 2007 if anyone is interested (which I'm sure you are not).
