Co-Chairman/ Club Operations
Dilip Patel
Dil started learning to play badminton at the age of 15 and formed a badminton club in the mid-1990’s that led to an eventual merger with Bruce Hallam’s club in 2010, after knowing Bruce and playing with his group for several years. Their merged badminton club evolved to being rebranded as HRBC in September 2019.
Co-Chairman/Treasurer
Bruce Hallam
Bruce was introduced to badminton by a friend and ever since has been addicted to the game. Over the years he has met with many super players which have challenged him to better his game. He is glad that he can still play at a reasonable level as he is now in his 70’s. Bruce hopes to be able to play for a few more years before he becomes too slow!
