Badminton England has reorganised its management structure in the South West. Susan Cooper is the full-time Regional Manager for the South West and will be based in Exeter. Hayley Pollock is the full-time Development Officer for Avon and Gloucestershire and will be based in the Wesport Offices in UWE, Filton, Bristol. These two individuals will be actively pursuing the development of badminton in Avon including the progression of Community Badminton Networks and Performance Centres. Susan and Hayley will, I am sure, be meeting lots of players, coaches and officials at a variety of badminton events in Avon and I trust everyone will give them their support in developing badminton in Avon.
 You will all be aware of the admirable work done by Penny Shears over recent years in her role as Badminton England Development Officer for Avon. Penny will no longer be working direct for Badminton England. However, Avon Badminton Association will continue to contract Penny for a limited number of hours to undertake project work specified by Avon. In addition, Penny will continue in her coaching roles throughout the Avon area.
