We are a friendly group from around Abingdon who play badminton once a week on Wednesdays.
We usually play doubles games with varied ability but always non-competitively for fun and sociability.
We are not complete beginners and cannot provide tuition or coaching. Nor are we in a league. If you are not out to win championships but you are able to place a shot at least roughly where you intended then Larkmead Badminton is probably a good match.
Unfortunately there is a minimum age of 18 for players due to insurance restrictions.
Young people (7-17) might find Smash! more suitable, who play on Saturday mornings and also provide tuition.
Ali's-previously-Mike's Abingdon Badminton Group is another friendly club who play socially on Wednesdays.
The Kennington Badminton Club is somewhat smaller and not actually in Abingdon, but just as friendly.
We play on Wednesdays from 19:15 to 21:15 during term time, including at half term. Please note that the times have recently changed slightly.
The first session for the current term is on 3 Sep 2025 and the last one on 17 Dec 2025.
