Dear AGOAC members,
You are cordially invited to the Open
House on Saturday September 3rd from 12:00 pm (noon) to 10:00 pm in
Angus Glen Community Centre.
The Badminton group has been
steadily increasing from a few players about 10 years ago to about 120
members before the incorporation of AGOAC in 2014. After incorporation,
the Group has further increased to the current size of about 200
members on record. Its popularity is due to its intangible value built
up over years and its continuous forward looking to enhance the Group
image both internally and externally. Achieving it, the Group has
adopted the Club's mission for transparency and fairness through
changes, both big and numerous in the past year. The change is big
because it has transformed from a close group to an open group which
opens arms to welcome all AGOAC members. The change is numerous because
its manual registration and operation is replaced by continuous automation.
The registration has been gradually changing from emailing to completing
registration form online using Google Form. From the Form, the Group
is now able to automate the roster, court assignment and attendance
list. The automation saves lot of labour, affords them to emphasize on
quality use of time in order to manage the Group with 200+ members. Hopefully, the Group will successfully transform to a respectful one which members would like to join.
In order to introduce the Group
to the members, the Badminton Adhoc Committee have planned the following activities
for the day on the basis of FRIENDSHIP FIRST COMPETITION SECOND.
All members (including renewed and new members) are reminded to bring their new (Green) membership cards

Please send all inquiries to agoac.bad88minton@gmail.com- Potential new badminton
players are welcome to come and play : This provides an
