    Just joined this forum not long ago. Arrived from malaysia less than two months ago. Been playing badminton for awhile now and still in search of a suitable badminton club to play regularly. Any recommendations?

    Hello serendibb,

    I'm in Rhodes /Homebush, no car. Do you know any group playing in Olympic Park or Lidcombe or somewhere near, that I can join?

    hi serendibb,

    i am currently staying at waitara, somewhere nearby hornsby. I do not drive so my only means for transport is the rail and bus. Do you know of any place to play somewhere nearby weekdays.

    Hi ating1978 and Redfire,

    Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with clubs that play at Olympic park. I don't believe there are many due to the high court price. The nearest would be Lidcombe as stated by ating. There's a club that plays in Hornsby. You can find more information about most of the clubs as listed on the website below.

    http://www.sydneybadmintonassoc.org/index.php?id=5

    Note that these are only clubs which are affiliated with SBA. There are many more private clubs around the area. Around homebush area, there are courts in Ryde Aquatic centre, Macquarie Uni, North Ryde RSL and Epping Boys high. Unfortunately, these places aren't really close to trains so you might need to get some transport. Just FYI anyway
