Among the first people in the Co- lony to play the game, who participat- ed in exhibitions at K.C.C., were A. Collins, S. A. Gray (present Hon. Secretary of the Association), E. L. H. Shute and E. Sousa, while Mrs. Shute and Miss Madge Griffiths also played.

K. C. C. were among the first en- tries when a League was formed but were forced to withdraw in the early stages when the sprung floor of the Hall gave signs of cracking in 1935.

FORCED to seek other spheres
which badminton was possible, play many members of K.C.C. now for other clubs. It will be interest- ing to see if they will rally to the support of K.C.C. If teams are entered in the various sections of the League. Among K.C.C. members who play, or have played up to recently, in the League are H. Kew, E. F. Fincher, S. A. Gray; A. S. Bliss and F. A. A. Ia Broadbridge (St. Andrew's)'
A. Fisher and N. A. E. Mackay, T.
Madar (Kowloon Tong), Miss Eileen Bliss, Miss Iris Woolley and Miss G. White (St. Andrew's).
I understand that P. Wynter-Blyth,
a very promising tennis player, has played in a very good class of bad- minton in the United Kingdom and- he should be a decided acquisition in any form of badminton that K.C.C. decides to follow.

Their wor- ries do not end at the first team either as, among those lost to the junior eleven are Miss Dsirne, mainstay of the tearn, Miss Sheila Bruce, Miss W. Ambrose, Mrs. Sater and Miss Pocock. It is, however, to their credit that they have decided to enter Junior' team in the Brawn Cup series, des pite the fact that injuries and illness may take heavy toll of a very limited number of players.
