    Can someone please tell me where all the clubs are around Cardiff area?
    What's the practice day, time and level etc.? We've been to
    Llantwit Fardre Leisure center before and looking to play at other
    clubs as well when we're there next.

    Thanks

    There are quite a few clubs around Cardiff, and probably the strongest one is called Penarth (no bias even though I play for them). The level is about county standard and we have practice on a Mon and Thurs night in Splott, from 8.30pm-10.30pm.
    Hope to see you there sometime :)

    You can check out the Cardiff Badminton League website for details of the clubs.

    http://www.cdbl.org.uk/

    Some clubs like the one I belong to Arches BC have websites.

    As Steplantis points out, Penarth would be the strongest one. Other strong ones in Cardiff include Nomads while Heath have a good range of players.

    As for my club we have a range of standards.

    I would suggest you check out the tables from last year and which teams are in which divisions for this year in determining what club you may wish to go and have a hit at.

    I'm from Cardiff too. I'm not v good at badminton but it would be great if some of us BFers could get together and have a game? Anyone else up for that?

    Hey!
    I realise you posted this message a while ago, so I hope I'm not too late... Basically, just wondered if you ever managed to get people together, as I'd really like to join a club that plays socially (transl: I don't want to be embarassed by my lack of skill in this area!) - all the clubs I've found seem to be quite serious...?!

    Hey! Sorry, I've finished university now so I've moved away from Cardiff :(. Maybe if I visit again or go back to do a PhD I'll contact you
