    Directions

    Hi

    I have just moved to London on Sunday and need directions to the club. I am right next to the Blackwall DLR station. Any directions from there would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    Ok, Seems easy enough. Do you have any contact numbers I could call to get any further directions or find out if anyone will be playing? Could you also give me the times, days and cost if possible.

    Thanks

    My girlfriend and I recently moved to London, and have been thinking about looking for a social badminton match. Is the Waterford Woolwich fairly social, or is it super competitive?
    I am probably an intermediate player, and she is probably a beginner.
    Reading this post, it looks like monday and Thursday evenings are drop in badminton nights. Is this correct? Is it still at 8:30 to 10:30?

    any info would be helpful. Does anyone know of any courts actually on the Dog of Isle?

    It's the Waterfront Leisure Centre, and it's very social, with a number of beginners, so no worries.

    Hi all.
    First post here :)

    I'm moving to London in the beginning of January 2007 and would love to play some good badminton.

    I am a not a intermediate player, but rather good (or used to be);). However my left knee cannot make up the pace anymore, so I prefer doubles. Most of all I prefer a social club where all can have fun.

    If anyone is interessted I can train you as well (beginners to very good). All I need is a club you can recommend. I am living just next to Limehouse DLR.

    Thx in advance!

    Thank you David14700. Do you know how much it costs to play at Waterfront Leisure Centre? I was looking on-line, and it seems that it either costs £8.15/time you go, or you have to get a membership. We don't live in the immediate area, so I'm not sure what the best option is.

    Thank you! Is anyone going tonight?

    Bacon's College on Tuesday night isn't too far from you - East India -> Shadwell -> Rotherhithe -> 10 minute walk.

    7-10pm
