1. Chicagoans excited about hosting the Gay Games in
2006 are working through the Chicago Metro Sports
Association to found Chicago's first LGBT
Badminton League. The new league will play its
inaugural season at Margate Park Fieldhouse. The
Badminton league is open to both women and men
and will offer two levels of competition. The
first season of play will be doubles with plans
to play singles and mixed doubles in future
seasons.

League play will be Thursdays 7pm to 9pm
beginning 13 January and experience is not
necessary. All levels are welcome.

[NOTE: Very late news but we only found out recently.
Hopefully, after the games Margate Park will be
another public badminton facility. Maybe a new
badminton club in the Chicago area?]
