Badminton Scotland mourns the loss of DBA Honorary President George Stenhouse

It is with great sadness Dunfermline Badminton Association announce the death of their Honorary President George Stenhouse.

Badminton was George’s life and his love and enthusiasm for the game was unbounded. In his youth he was one of the best players in the local leagues and continued playing to have success in the Scottish Masters events in later life.

Until fairly recently he was a playing member of Inverkeithing Badminton Club. He will be fondly remembered by very many players as ‘the shuttle man’ as he was in charge of the shuttles at Junior Ladders, Club Challenges and the Babolat Dunfermline Championships for many years.

Although fiercely competitive on the court, he was always the most sportsmanlike and gracious of players. His support and enthusiasm for badminton will never be forgotten by those who played with him.

We will all miss him and our thoughts are with his wife Sandra, his three sons and their families.
