Sandwell Leisure Trust has launched new Pay and Play badminton sessions in Oldbury in a bid to get local people fit.

Catherine Barret, Marketing Officer said: “Badminton is a great way to get active in Sandwell and meet new people.

“We hope that these new pay and play sessions will encourage more people to give the sport a try.”

Budding badminton players of all levels are welcome to the sessions which run every Sunday from 12 noon until 1pm at Oldbury College of Sport, Pound Road, Oldbury.

Sessions cost just £1.50 per person over the age of 14.

Courts are also available to hire on Saturdays from 12pm until 5 pm and Sundays from 1pm until 2.00pm for £5.90 per court, per hour.
