Goldsworth Badminton Club

I have played badminton since secondary school, when I played for the local junior county squad, several times a week. Just before university, I reached a crunch point where exams had to take priority, so I put badminton to one side for a while. I did not take it up again until my first job after university.

Since then, I have played club badminton every week. Over the years, I have been on the committees of two clubs in Guildford and have even captained a few teams.

Like many sports, badminton was badly affected by Covid, with a lot of players giving up or moving away. After Covid, I happened upon a strong club playing socially at the local school, just 100 metres from home. They do not play in leagues, but it is a great, friendly club and I now help to run it.
