Isle of Man Badminton Association will be holding its annual business tournament at the NSC next month.

The event has been kindly sponsored for a second year running by Utmost Wealth Solutions and will take place on Saturday, September 7.

The company’s marketing executive, Sophie Barraclough, commented: ’This is the second year in a row that Utmost Wealth Solutions have sponsored this fantastic tournament and as reigning champions we would encourage all businesses to give the tournament a go.

’All levels are welcome to play, so if you’ve never played or are feeling a bit rusty, the association put on no-strings sessions on Tuesdays and Saturdays at the NSC, providing all the equipment that you need.

’Our staff found this really beneficial and a fun way to learn the rules before the tournament in September.’

The afternoon is a great opportunity for new, old and existing players to get involved in badminton in a relaxed atmosphere, as well as the opportunity for team building and meeting new people.

Following the success of last year, businesses also have the opportunity of practising for the tournament using ’No Strings’ badminton sessions which take place on Saturday mornings between 9-11am at the NSC.
