Next Game is Wednesday


Crystal Palace - 7:40 - 9:00


Let me know if you can make it and if you'd like a lift


New People welcome for mid week games, our Saturday games are now pretty full with a regular 16 players turning up.


Crystal Palace Badminton Cost is ?4.00 and that covers courts and shuttles

Can i ask a couple of really dumb questions?


How easy is it to pick up badminton?


I'm currently doing a Sword class which takes place on a Badminton court so, I often watch people play before my class starts & one of the girls in my class told me that she used to play & was quite good. ( I've noticed that I seem to be alot more co-ordinated than her- but don't tell her that. ) She has challenged me to a game, which may become a more permanent fixture & I'm a lil worried that she'll show me up :-$


I was also worried about injury potential, ie, am I likely to mess up my joints playing it??


Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Ha ha, thanks for the advice!

Andy, If you have played badminton before then picking it up again is really quite easy. It can be hard on the joints and muscles though but a warm up usually helps. This current edf badminton group has been going quite a while now, it started off small and has grown, it has fused with a group that were playing at Camberwell Fusion and works well. I haven't been for a couple of weeks but there are usually 2 sometimes 3 games a week and it's nice to see how people improve. A group text message is sent by Mogs when games are booked. You should come to this. Mogs is a good organiser. Thanks Mogs.(tu)


Oh and brum, you could come to this too young man.:))

Thanks for the reply & the invite, I may take you up on it when my timetable is less busy. I've only played a few times & was really drunk, so I'm not too sure about my ability- also the girl I was playing would not stop cheating.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
