June Bevan

June's main sporting interests were netball and hockey, playing at 'A' grade level.

Enjoying the game so much because it was fast and strenuous, June took up badminton at the age of 17 at a time when the sport was re-organising after the war.

June continued to play hockey and netball as they became a means of maintaining her fitness and speed for badminton.

Badminton possessed everything that June wanted in a sport and it was accessible 12 months a year rain, hail or shine.

As a young married couple they could not afford to travel interstate to play badminton in the Australian Carnival plus having a honeymoon.
