    Hmmmm, depends on what level you're at. In Singapore, we do not really have official clubs but miscellaneous groups around.

    Actually, there are a handful of official badminton clubs in Singapore. These are listed in the SBA website.

    Go to Places to Play -> Singapore and check out the threads...

    I am still from Singapore (as far as my citizenship and residency goes). I am doing a PhD at Cornell, and spend most of my time in Ithaca.

    Cornell is having its spring break from March 19 to March 28. I don't know whether the badminton courts will be available during that time.

    I will go find out, and PM you.

    Hi! I used to play in my country but I'm not sure what my level is. I just want to join any group that loves to play badminton but at the same time competitive =)

    Do you have a group? :)

    Braddell is pretty near Paya Lebah (although it does depend which part of paya lebah you are referring to).

    It's around the Toa Payoh-Bishan area, do you know where that is?

    i'm not sure if we can continue playing in the school on may as the school is using the hall for the exams. But if we are still playing, you are most welcome to join us.
