The Thursday morning Badminton group usually consists of about a dozen players, 50/50 men/women with all ability levels. Members tend to look on the morning  more as an enjoyment than cut-throat playing. We have the use of four courts. After the session, most of us go for a well-earned drink in the bar, upstairs. We are ready to welcome new members, and at a cost of two euro per person per session, it’s a good morning’s fun that won’t break the bank. As always, players must accept that they play at their own risk. Group Leader Liz Evans Contact details +34 646564971 littlelizard51@hotmail.com Place and time…
