What's the badminton clubs like at reading? Can I join if I'm just an intermediate casual player. Is there like a society for it?

The badminton clubs at the university are super good. The society has social playing so you can play casually once a week or there's also a team if you wan't to be more competitive.

Seems like u moved in at the same time as freshers cause of all that traffic on campus? I thought returning students can normally arrive later than that, like when term begins..

Yeah, I move in early as I like to be prepared and I help out with some freshers events so I get there early and have a week to chill before uni properly starts and it gives me time to get to know flatmates etc
