Serving up success, celebrating our badminton stars at NL Active Ancholme

Comments Off on Serving up success, celebrating our badminton stars at NL Active Ancholme

Are you looking for a little motivation to get moving this summer? Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration, and the junior players at North Lincolnshire Badminton Academy who train right here at NL Active Ancholme have delivered just that. 

Over the weekend, around 30 talented young athletes from the Academy took to the courts at the Lincs County Junior Championships. Competing across age groups from Under 12 to Under 18, they showed that dedication, and hard work really do pay off, bringing home a fantastic haul of medals in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles! 

For many, this was their first ever competition experience, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they rose to the challenge. Whether it was stepping on court for the first time or pushing for a podium finish, every player gave it their all, and that’s what true achievements look like. 

At NL Active, we believe in celebrating success of all kinds, whether it’s someone taking the first step on their fitness journey or young athletes finding their stride in competition. It’s about building confidence, supporting one another, and creating opportunities to grow. 

A huge well done to all the players, coaches, and families who made the moment possible. The determination, sportsmanship, and team spirit on display are what NL Active is all about! 

Love racket sports? Find your court!
If badminton, tennis, pickle ball or squash is your thing, or something you’ve been meaning to try, we’ve got you covered. NL Active offers accessible, welcoming sessions and courts across North Lincolnshire for all ages and abilities. 

Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or looking to improve your game, racket sports is a great way to stay active, social, and have fun while doing it. 

Check out our sports and activities page, and group fitness classes page to explore what’s available near you.

Exhibition: Richard Meaghan – The Man Who Remembered The Future

Comments Off on Exhibition: Richard Meaghan – The Man Who Remembered The Future

Richard Meaghan’s series of self-portraits reflects his sharp critique of society, examining the complexities of identity, power, and societal expectations. He describes his art as a form of protest, aiming to expose the ugliness, hypocrisy, and sickness of the world. His emasculated figures, often grotesque and exaggerated, are a satirical commentary on the dehumanization and corruption he observes in the world today.
