    Where are you? Newcastle? Sunderland?

    If you give the area where you stay, it will be easier. Sometimes waiting for buses can take ages.

    Newcastle Upon Tyne area. Hardly see any badminton courts in the city centre except the university's own sports facilities. Do all the baddy courts located very far from the city centre? :D :eek:

    Sportshalls are rarely located in city centres! Expect to travel out to other courts.

    The University should have a fairly decent badminton club but you may wish for more! Students are usually distracted by parties, booze and visiting the nightlights;)

    There is a yearly tournament against Leeds Uni called the Read Cup.

    Quick google search shows this facility

    Looks nice!

    Yea, it certainly looks nice Cheung. But the price certainly looks nicer:D
    Thanks for the find. Would love to visit the hall once I got the opportunity.
