Badminton Club


Since my last post I have started going to Vida Badminton Club, which is not very far from my apartment. The club members play inside William Beamont Sports College, which is just nearby Warrington Collegiate. I joined the club as a visitor and they charge £ 3 per visit. They play once in a week on Mondays in evening 8 to 10 for 2 hours.

It is a nice experience playing there. There are 20-30 people coming to play and we have 4 badminton courts and we play in doubles, which means at a time 16 players are playing. We mark our names on a board and a person chooses names of other 3 players to play with. So whenever they come back from that game again write the names on board and it continues likewise. Till 10PM everyone would have played around 10 matches, which is very healthy. There are 5-6 people who are Asians (can't say if they belong to India, but names suggests at least 4 are of Indian origin.

I use Bus to go there and come back, which are available from Warrington Bus station. There are 2-3 weeks more to play, until I go back to India, for which I am excited.
