New Website Design
The Wight Badminton website has just been upgraded, moved to a new server and had the template modernized, and fortunately after all that it still works!
We are now running the latest version of WordPress and the new theme, whilst maintaining the Green look, has a more sleek feel about it and it will be modified slightly as the various options are played with. The menu system has also been altered slightly, and further changes will be made to this over the next week to help make it easier to find things and to add a few extra pages to the site.
Also the Forum has been given it’s own full-page area to operate within and the software running that should also be seeing an upgrade over the next week.

Come along and show your support to team-mates and fellow competitors at the IWBA Presentation Evening on Friday, 14th May 2010 at Camphill Social Club.
Doors are open from 7.30pm.
We have the bar until midnight, with the benefit of social club bar prices, and from 8pm we have one of the Island’s leading DJ’s (Tip Top Karaoke & Disco) getting us into the party mood with fantastic music (hopefully including some smoke and bubbles), lighting and optional Karaoke entertainment so all you sports stars can show how multi-talented you are!
There will also be a Buffet and we will be take a break at some point in the evening to draw the Raffle.
Dress is smart casual and it is also important that youthful looking adults bring ID with them if they wish to order at the bar.
Ticket prices are:
Adults – £5.
Students/U21 – £2.50.
Please contact your club secretary to reserve a ticket by the 9th May, as we need a good idea of numbers for organising the Buffet.
On behalf of the IWBA, we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the night for a fun evening to mark the end of the 2009/10 season and start of the summer break.
Best wishes,
Mark.
