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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
