Hi everyone - I'm looking to play badminton for fun and social reasons. Does anyone know of a beginners or amateur league? I've played a few times before, but don't want anything too heavy, just fun really.

Hi - I'm an MBA student at UWIC from Indonesia. I'm looking for a place to play badminton, and I prefer to join a club/social club, since I come alone and has no one to play with. I live in Llandaff, although I may move to either Roath/city centre soon. Please advise me where can I play. Thank you.

I play for Rebels badminton club based in Abercynon sports center. We recently have found out that ALL sports centers in Rhondda Cynon Taff will be shut after 5pm on weekends. This will mean LOTS of clubs will shut as weekends are prime time to play. It is disguisting that no-one was asked for input on this and this cost cutting excercise will be detrimental to a LOT of clubs in the area.
We set up www.hawthornbadmintonladder.co.uk for free to help players improve and have recently launched www.rebelsbadmintonclub.co.uk as we are going to division 1 cardiff and trying to attract new players, all these inititives will fall by the wayside for the sake of a few pounds which I am sure is being wasted elsewhere.
A very sorry state of affairs.
Kate from Bridgend
I want to play Badminton casually but don't know anyone else who does that. Do I just turn up at a lesson or have I got to book?
