Just in case any body asks, some badminton was played over the weekend, although I'm not sure why both players are going for the same shuttle - not as if they haven't played together before.

In an attempt to improve player flexibility a novel method was adopted. This will now form part of the warm-up drills prior to all matches - although the choice of pyjamas should follow club design in future !!

If in future matches the opposition prove to good then a different approach was considered. Whilst we haven't found anything in the "Rules of badminton" that prevents the use of fire-arms, the committee did have reservations about their use.

Such intensive training does have its drawbacks, the lack of sleep and late nights caught up with the younger "light weight" members. This picture was taken by the speed camera on the drive back - clearly the driver here should have been paying a little more attention.
