At 2:30 p.m., Baraqueville town hall will host the general assembly of the Aveyron badminton committee. The opportunity for the body led by Xavier Armengaud, in office since 2018 and re-elected in May 2025, to take stock of the past year and look forward to the one to come. With a major positive point: “We are booming! Last year, we had almost 25% more licensees. For the first time, we exceeded 800 licensees. And we are still on the same dynamic. We are already at 810 in January (distributed among the ten clubs in the department, including the latest one at Cavalarie, created a year and a half ago)which suggests that we will surpass our record. We are on a very good dynamic.” In the same way as the discipline at the national level, which is experiencing the same enthusiasm, particularly since the Paris Olympic Games, after having largely suffered from Covid.
Financially, the “bad” “is doing pretty well”. Supported by the Department “for four or five years” at height “ a little over €10,000 every year”the Aveyron committee has “a balanced annual budget of around €50,000”. Enough to allow him to “sustain the employment of a development agent” and to meet the needs of practice across the department!
