Badminton
The Badminton section of BGS was created in 1994 by a group of enthusiasts; there were 4 to 8 players, both male & female by the end of 1995 and by 2005 there were 150 registered players.
Of course everyone plays to his/her own level. As a leisure activity, whatever your ability or level of fitness, it is a great sport to play among friends. At a competitive level there are numerous friendly competitions organised throughout Europe and the world. From the beginning BGS has participated in many competitions both Men's and Women's, local and international, where the BGS has won many prizes.
BGS has been represented regularly at the Gay Games and the Eurogames and has participated in tournaments in Paris, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Stuttgart, 'S-Hertogenbosch, Berlin, London, Cologne, Eindhoven, Ghent and Munich.
