EAGLES SPONSORSHIP

Important announcement

Since 2006, when Eagles was first launched, we have always been sponsored by Forza and over this time we have been lucky enough to have some great Forza evenings with them, good prices on shuttles, clothing and equipment. The Badminton retail world has changed and Forza is now operating under a different umbrella. Over the summer I have been negotiating to ensure that we can continue our relationship with Forza so am really pleased to announce that we are now going to be sponsored by Ransome Sporting Goods. Ransome Sporting Goods are one of the leading suppliers of sports equipment in the UK and are the official distributors of the Victor and FZ Forza badminton ranges as well as the owner of the Sure Shot brand which is prominent in badminton at education and recreational level throughout the UK as well as a brand leader in other sports. This means that we will still be able to get all the Forza clothing and equipment but not only that but the same good deals with also be available on Victor equipment and clothing too. Once everything is in place I will be able to let you know what clothing or equipment is available and at what price so if you are thinking about a new racket, kit, bag or shoes then please get in touch and I will see what I can do to help. This really is great news and keeps us at the forefront of badminton equipment and clothing but also opens up another range to us as well. I would like to thank Ransome Sporting Goods for their sponsorship and look forward to a long and happy relationship with them in the future.

NO SESSIONS THIS COMING MONDAY

All of us at Eagles I'm sure feel a deep sense of loss and sadness at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

As Monday is now a Bank Holiday for Her Majesty's funeral Emerson Park School will be closed and, as a result, no sessions will be able to be run.
