Eunice said badminton was an all weather, exercise, which was very good for you. You can play as hard, or as soft as you like. There’s a guy here, who is over 80 years old. He’s been with us for for a long time. He’s an excellent player. He was an excellent player in his time badminton is excellent for reflexes and anticipation.
