Glasgow Badminton

Some P7s had the opportunity to travel to Glasgow to the Emirates Arena on Sunday to join Aidan Matthews as part of his prize for winning a National competition. Aidan’s designed the winning Mascot for the 2017 Badminton World Cup and he and his classmates attended the Finals of  the Scottish Open Championships on Sunday where the real life mascot was revealed to a large crowd in the main Arena. Pupils also got the chance to take part in sports activities run by Badminton Scotland in The Chris Hoy Velodrome before watching the mixed doubles and women’s singles finals.  They even met some famous famous during the day and took part in a ‘mannequin challenge’. The children had a blast and were very proud of Aidan’s achievement – a long journey and a long day but definitely worth it for a super experience.
