AGM _ Badminton club

Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcome to the Annual general meeting of our club ABC.

This is new to me. I have n't addressed a gathering for long. I did not get the opportunity to give the Acceptance speech as well, since I became the president as a stopgap arrangement as Asaad who was the original president moved to Dhahran. So this is my first and last official address as the president of the Abqaiq Badminton Club.

So I am prepared. I went into google and searched out presidential address. I got a few manuscripts of speeches given by Barrack Obama, which I thought is not enough, in no way it will suffice my requirement., believe me,his address did not had a single sentence on Badminton.One fine morning I sat around and coincised this myself, only criteria I had while writing this was I will not incorporate  any poetry into this, not even  a stanza, and afterwards,  I am putting this up on google as a service to the future searchers.

Well lets talk business, This year was okay in terms of the club activities, we were hit by the transfer of housing of our members. Many had moved out of ABQAIQ. Right now we have 36 members and the facilities, most of the year was available to all of these 36 members. Those four courts were available on all four days throughout the year and there was no shortage in supply of the shuttle cocks, courtesy Lim.Well we conducted sessions, on training the kids, but somehow the sessions stopped, but the training of the kids never stopped,we shall continue doing that.

We had conducted couple  of tournaments, one earlier in the year and one recently. Some of our guys went out to the external tournaments and won trophies: Chucks Milan and Madhur. Way to go guys.  Keep up doing the good work.Well we may have lost many of the members, but haven't lost the passion for the game. I urge all of you to come out to play regularly, because we are the only few lucky badminton enthusiasts in this world, who has such a facility at our disposal.The committee may change, the members may change but the passion will not. This game is here to stay.

All the best to each one of you. Enjoy the dinner

Thank you all for coming
