Event 2 - Badminton - Lings Forum 9/4/10

Well, it's a late update from me unfortunatelty! Sorry Folks!

But, just to let you know, Kis is now back on board and taking part in  the activities which is great news!!

Our first event together was Badminton! Kis has never played before and I haven't played since school so it was with some trepidation that we decised on this one!

We arrived and gingerly carried the KeepFitFriend banner through the masses of people attending their various sports and set about playing badminton.

Lings Forum kindly let us borrow some racquets for free as a goodwill gersture so we got going!!

We learnt how to serve pretty fast and it wasn't long before Kis had me running all over the show......and falling all over the place!

We decided with our lack of experience that a couple of games to 21 would be in order. Obviously we didn't really know how to play so just had a good laugh and everytime the shuttlecock hit the floor would award a point! (Which we didn't think were the actual rules but they would suffice!)

So, after some fast paced action, Kis ran out the eventual winner of both games - 21-19 & (even more embarassingly for me) 21-15. I was on the recieving end of a hammering! But it was all in the name of good fun!

<-- Now this is the face of our overall winner. As you can see, all in a days work for Kismet!

In conclusion:

Turns out it is a brilliant game!! Not only is it fast action, but it's energetic but not so much that you really notice how hard you're pushing. It really keeps you occupied and entertained. We would definately recommend it for anyone looking to get back into sport!
