Welcome
Manchester City Council
It
gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Manchester for the
2010 English National Badminton Championships, here at
Manchester Velodrome, Sportcity.
Manchester City Council recognises the profile and benefits that
events can bring to the City and more importantly, the
opportunities they create for our residents and communities to
see real legacy benefits.
Manchester is committed to attracting major sports events and in
April we will welcome the badminton family once again to the
Yonex European Badminton Championships at the Manchester Evening
News Arena which I am sure many of you will be looking forward
to.
Manchester continues to develop the sport of badminton across
the City and to provide opportunities for every young person to
realise their potential. Both this event and this venue play an
important part in supporting this strategy.
We will undoubtedly see some top class performances over the
week and Manchester City Council is proud to be working with the
partners that I am sure will make this event a great success.
Finally, may I wish you an enjoyable and memorable visit to our
sporting city.
