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.

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.

      Anyone else love Dulwich...

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      All the parents looking after their kids instead of skiving from their meaningless desk jobs might mean it's quieter on here. Still, at least it gives free rein to the bad-tempered, long-winded pensioners that begin their posts "having resided in Dulwich for a not inconsiderable number of decades, may I be so bold as to suggest..." 😉

      Sternhall Lane Surgery

      By EastDulwicher · Posted

      We have been patients at Sternhall Lane for years. Our experience has generally been incredibly positive with speedy responses and very helpful staff. We are generally fortunate to get a same day appointment should we really need one either at Sternhall Lane or at Tessa Jowell and any necessary referalls have been swift.

      Set of keys found in Peckham Rye

      By mgdms · Posted

      @Alice if left might have been stolen/taken by someone (peed on by a dog or fox), also there are some little things attached of - I assume - sentimental value. I hope the owner can claim them. Will leave a note indeed with info how to retrieve them, though not with a private phone number in a public space 😅 Maybe a friend of a friend will come across this post on EDF.  @embob97 They do have a ring, sorry.
