Ken Verney

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death last Wednesday of Cambridgeshire Badminton stalwart Ken Verney.

Ken was President of the Cambridgeshire Badminton Association, having been involved for many decades, and was a familiar presence at County senior and junior events before his failing health prevented him from attending.

Ken lead the County with a passion for the sport and the players, and was a constant inspiration for those involved.  With his wife Jocelyn, he was still accompanying the junior squad to ICT in Nottingham right up until the last time Cambridgeshire were represented in 2012.  His dedication was unparalleled.

There will be a crematorium service for the committal on Thursday 6 April at 1.30pm:

West Chapel, Cambridge City Crematorium, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, CB3 0JJ

This will be followed by a memorial service to celebrate his life at 2.30pm:
