This is an outstanding achievement by Abby, whose current role at the Championships is Manager of Line Judges. The award is a mark of his dedication to and passion for the sport of badminton, which anyone who knows Abby will bear witness to.
The sharp-eyed amongst you may have noticed Abby on the podium on Finals Day, presenting the silver medal to the runner-up in the Women’s Singles, Chen Yu Fei.
Abby was Director of Badminton Wycombe from 2006 to 2017 when he retired from that role. He was involved with setting up the Performance Centre at Wycombe in 2009, and worked at Badminton Wycombe for many, many years in various guises, teaching, managing and promoting the sport to as many people as possible.
Congratulations Abby on an amazing 50 years!
