    通常在badmintoncentral 我们用英语多,知道很少内地人这儿来。

    Yes. I am based in HK. People are quite enthusiastic but it can also be difficult to find the right group. Usually groups find it difficult to get more than two courts due to the high demand. I found that going to groups in HK is through personal introduction. Meetup.com groups are quite popular but mainly for more social players.

    香港羽毛球水平比英国更好,但比中国我不知道。

    In Guangzhou there are many social groups usually mid - high beginners level.
    Our group comprise of very new beginner to mid intermediate levels, we welcome all levels.
    Know some groups that are for intermediate levels and above only, myself not qualified , have some friends there.
    One of my friend used to take part in the Mayor's cup and won i think twice.
    Think he's probably one of the few foreigner to had won the Mayor's Cup.

    Ahh, that is too short time, and I will attend a tournament during 17 and 18 Dec. Sorry I will not be able to bring you to some clubs. You may visit the club in Tianhe Middle school, check previous post, a club played there every Wed and Sun.

    Hi guys, this thread is old so I'm just checking if all the clubs still play as mentioned. A member of my Thai badminton club has just moved to work in GZ and he's looking for a good badminton club to join. His level is competitive, so he won't want to join with the beginners. He can speak fluent Mandarin. Can anyone offer advice please? If anyone has WeChat I'll pass on the ID for him. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Yes, club is very much active.
    My group while in Guangzhou, they have regular games on Thurs, Sat & Sun with wide ranges of playing levels. It's an international group of many nationalities & very friendly.
