West Australia has a smallish group of spinners that meet twice a week at two different spots with an almost monthly bigger meet depending on when Byron motivates us.
I gather the East coast is much bigger though.

If you want to play badminton don't go to NSW...when I first moved there they looked at me like I was some sort of alien when I told them that I played badminton.

Yeah but we have bore water which can be used on gardens so you can still have good gardens...(that is if you are a gardener or if you are like me you will just let the weeds take over).

We have less tourists!!!!!!

Now that is a good thing!

Nucleopoi: I haven't played Badminton for a long time....I sort of had no one to play with in NSW cause no one knew what it was. So for the six years I was there I didn't do it and haven't taken it back up.

I would love to get back into it but I am guessing I wouldn't be as good as I used to be.

Poi, Skating and horse riding are my three main interests....

Just check the meet others section, lots of names and places.

Sorry cant help with either chemistry industry or top class badminton, BUT I twirl and spin and we have a badminton net in the backyard and and... ah, just visit me if you come to Alice Springs.
