    We should hold something in Wimbledon on the weekends, that way we can all get there by train.

    Thats not a bad idea but the only Problem is that wimbledon is a members club so unless anyone knows of an alternative venue its not practical. Visitors are allowed but only a few times and its a £5 guest fee plus court and shuttles so it soon adds up.
    Any ideas people?

    Update:

    Alan and I are no longer practising together, partly due to his new coaching commitments.

    That means I am still looking for at least one practice partner and ideally three.

    Hi Gollum,

    I might be interested in what you have on offer. I've just arrived in London and currently looking into the badminton scene over here. I work out in Leatherhead and pass by Epson everyday. Though its only a temp job, though I'd still be up for meeting for the next few weeks or so to keep the dust of the racket. Not sure what standard I would be at as I played in the Dublin Leagues in Ireland. Could play in section 3 out of 6. Well get in touch if you want to try sort something out.

    Regards

    ps. how far a walk would it be from Epsom train station????

    Hi Mike,

    I'm interested in your offer if it's still standing, I could do with the practice, coaching (and exercise). I live Guildford way, so travelling to Dorking/Epsom/Leatherhead would be possible. I'm 22, and a fairly competent player but with a lot of room for improvement. I currently play at a non competive local club once a week (tuesdays).

    Do let me know, Bob

    Hi all,

    Sorry I didn't respond earlier -- I had stopped checking the thread!

    I will send all of you PMs, and we can then try to work out what arrangement is practical. If we can all find a mutually convenient time and venue, then a group of four would be ideal :) It is more likely, however, that we will not all be able to make the same time and place.

    Lets' see :)

    Hi Mike
    I Play Badminton with the local club but they only offer once a week training. I am very interested in pursuing extra training to improve my skill and technique in badminton. I am an under 13 player and have been playing for over 3 years. I live around horley/reigate area and frequently in redhill as my school is around there. I can therefore meet you for training in and around that area.
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    I would advise to PM Gollum, since itis 4 years since the last post on this thread and even when it was closer he missed some, there are many active threads every day in BF now & it is easy to miss them.
