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.

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.

      Recommendation AFE Plumbing Services

      By Marco T · Posted

      I echo the previous recommendation of Aria. I have used his services on several occasions now and I am always impressed by 1) the speed of his response,  2) his honest pricing,  3) the quality of his interventions.  I had a washing machine crisis the other day where my old appliance started leaking badly and into the flat below.  Aria can within an hour of my call and sorted the whole thing immediately.  Impressive! Highly recommended!

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By Sue · Posted

      Helen Hayes has represented Dulwich and West Norwood since the boundary change in 2024. The OP said Helen had already contacted Capita on their behalf, so I'm guessing she is their MP, otherwise she would have directed them to the appropriate person (unless she was particularly keen to take on extra work!)

      Wanted - boxes to move house

      By katejervis · Posted

      Hi there. I need to move and it doesn't feel very eco friendly to buy boxes - if anyone has any I could reuse?  Happy to return once I've moved if you want to keep them! I'm moving Feb 26th so I'd be looking for some to use before then. Thank you! Kate

      Ellie Reeves is the local MP for much of East Dulwich. Depends where you live I guess. https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
