The courts were basic very with nets only 16 feet wide, posts with extended canes and chalked lines. The principal event organisers were Mr Richard Fleming St Andrew St John (Honorary Secretary of the BA) and Mr Percy Buckley (Secretary of the Guildford Badminton Association and President of the BA). The winners received two guineas and runner up received one guinea. Final results CategoryWinnersRunners-upScoreMen's doublesENG D. W. Oakes & Stewart Marsden MasseyENG Col. Ian M. Campbell & L.
