    There's one in Cranfield University called Chinese Society made up of immigrants from Mainland China who have come here to work at CFU.

    I think you have to be a friend or a relative of one of us to join though.

    Friendly Competitive club in central London

    Hey,

    If you're playing at a reasonable standard (no frying pan shots), can move around a court quite well and have a decent degreee of accuracy and knowledge of the game my club is looking for more players of your standard.

    We play at the Westminster Hall on a Sunday morning between 9:30am and midday.

    We have a variety of beginners and improvers to league standard players. The players are predominantly chinese approx 70% and we have some ladies players too. We have four courts and changing room facilities (but showers are a bit cold).

    We only play with feathers and it costs £5 per visit. Not bad for the number of games you get.

    We are looking for players of a higher standard as many have been forced out through injury, emigration or just having better things to do on a Sunday :O

    Contact me for more details.

    Hi,

    If you're still looking for a predominantly Chinese badminton club in London see below. We are becoming more cosmopolitan with players from Spain and France too.

    Hampstead Badminton club (now based in Westminster Hall - off Crompton Street - off the Edgware Road) are looking for intermediate/advanced players seeking good friendly competitive games.

    We play every Sunday morning from 9am - 1:30pm for a small fee of £5 per week.

    We are a feathers-only club currently playing with Gosen's.

    We have four courts for our members with good lighting and heating (for those cold winter mornings). There's seating and food/drinks vending machine, toilets, changing facilities, and separate shower (albeit cold) onsite.

    There's usually an average turnout of 20 - 24 people per week so no one sits out for too long and most players don't stay for the full 9 - 1:30pm.

    There's a good mix of players: average - advanced, male and female.

    I also play in the north London club Hadley in Enfield and play middlesex league matches - if anyone is interested at playing there too.

    Contact me if you're interested on sslam72@hotmail.com

    We are close to Paddington, St Johns Wood, Swiss Cottage, Maida Vale, Lisson Grove, Central london - if it helps anyone see the URL posted below for directions. The hall is located where the Primary School is on the map off Crompton Street.

    Thanks
