The first president was the New Zealand Open title holder Archdeacon Creed-Meredith . In Wellington the first club was founded by Jack Marshall , who later became the country's prime minister. In 1934 the New Zealand Badminton Federation was a founding member of the Badminton World Federation , then known as the International Badminton Federation . The New Zealand Badminton Federation also became a member of the continental umbrella organization Badminton Oceania .
