Badminton Europe (BEC) spoke to Zorika Tysiak, Head of Lotka Lubin after winning the 2016 BEC Women in Badminton Award in Prague at the BEC 5th Awards Gala evening (1st April 2017). Lotka Lubin is a Polish badminton club which consists of volunteers organizing numerous events in Poland. This year, they won the 2016 BEC Women in Badminton Award (project) based on the excellent organisation of the BEC European U17 Championships 2016 in Lubin, Poland with a very enthusiastic group of women.



Lotka Lubin - The team in Lubin


Lotka Lubin is formed by 5 women: Ewa Danilewicz, Ewelina Haduch, Aneta Bilewicz, Joanna Kulik and Zorika Tysiak who are close friends with very similar interests. They are the core members of the team. There are also many other women who work at high positions in Lotka Lubin such as Kamila Tworek, Agata Bończak, Olga Spiak, Ilona Wieczorek, Izabela Grygiel, Małgorzata Biadala and Joanna Czyż to name a few.


All of them had worked in many different places and gained experience in different fields. With these experience and expertise, they started to think of organising events in Lubin. Their first experience with badminton has been acquired thanks to Marek Zawadka who taught them everything about badminton at the 2012 Polish Open Championships. It was from this event that Lotka Lubin was established.

During the festival many stands (not only flower) are set up for some special events, performances, workshops and exhibits featuring regional products, various flowers, plants, trees and new methods of floriculture. Exhibition offer allows people to familiarize with matters related to gardening, fruit growing and landscape architecture. It is also accompanied by concerts, food services and playgrounds. Beer Festival’s idea is to popularize the culture of drinking beer. It takes place in Lubin at the same time and place as Flower Festival along the „Lubińskie Błonia”. Many stands with local beer are set up, and there you can purchase different kinds of beers. It is also accompanied by concerts and food servises. In the meantime Lotka Lubin is preparing for some other projects and applying for other European events.
