Hello Will, We only have a court for 1hour this week so if the place is good, we can book it next time for a 2 hour session and then you and others could come along for sure....just want to make sure people have a good amount of time playing. Hope thats ok, Simon.

Ok sounds good....we have 4 then...see you all on satuday. Simon

ok cool.... 1 spot left people!

Hello all, I have a court booked for this Saturday 18th from 11-12pm. There are 2 of us going at the moment so if 2 of you want to come and join us to make a doubles game, feel free to get in touch. The address is Camberwell Leisure Centre, Artichoke Place, off Camberwell Church Street, London SE5 8TS (or in google maps here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=SE5+8TS&ie=UTF8&ll=51.472669,-0.091195&spn=0.011815,0.033345&z=15 ) Kind regards, Simon

Hi Martell, shame i couldn't join you for the jogging but maybe this weekend. anyway, happy to hear you're interested in the badminton. Thats 1 so far... (To all: i did try Waverley but they sounded pretty heavily booked...Camberwell Fusion sounds easier to find spots...plus only need to jump on a 176/185 or 40 bus)

Hello all, I think i may have found a solution. I had tried Dulwich Sports club, Jagsa and Alleyns without sucess but after checking with the Fusion place on Goose Green they said that there was another Fusion site in Camberwell Green that does it. I rang them up and they do Badminton Mon-Sat at a cost ?8.65/hour for the hire of the court with no charges for number of people using it. So if we got a doubles game going thats just over ?2 each for 1 hour. Sounds great to me! We can also hire racquets and shuttlecocks there if you don't have equipment. So in reponse to what Nick wrote above, how abouts let try this weekend? Reply to this and we can see what numbers we get... I think its only saturday though, they don't do it sunday. Rgards, Simon

Just seen Robert Glenister ('Ash' from Hustle) walking past the Foxtons...taller than i thought :)

Hello MrNick, I have a couple of people interested in badminton so at minimum it sounds like we've got a doubles game sorted. Just need a location. I'm hoping to hear back from my old school Alleyns this week...but where else have you tried? Simon

Thanks for the replies. I will be in touch with you personally. Simon

lol...well i wouldn't say that... I'm an old pupil of Alleyns and through their sports club (the edward alleyn club) i thought they had access to the schools sports facilities..and they have a big hall for badminton which i remember personally from many a game there 15 years ago.. Anyway i have emailed them to find out the score and will let you all know the result. Simon

Hello all, I'm looking to get some fitness back and lose weight and i usually fail because i run out of motivation to keep going so thought why not try and hook up with some other people who want to do the same and maybe we can help each other keep going. So nothing serious or strenuous...no 5 mile runs or 40mile cycle rides..(i wouldn't be able to at the moment!!) I'm thinking more along the lines of a 1hr walk/intermittent jogging maybe around Dulwich park for example, or an odd 1hr cycle, like to play a bit of tennis and badminton or frisbee in the park. Just simple and easy stuff for now. It would be nice to get a little group going maybe but happy to do things with individuals also. I'm a 30yr easy going male who works in Lordship Lane and lives near Hornimans/Honor Oak and am free evenings/weekends. Happy to hear from guys and girls of any age. Regards, Simon

Hello all, Are there any badminton sessions taking place or does it need organising? I'm keen to start playing again, so am willing to get things going. Simon
