No Strings Badminton is a council initiative aimed at getting people involved in the sport.
The sessions, backed by the sport's governing body, Badminton England, provide a relaxed and flexible playing opportunity for anyone, 16 or over, who would enjoy playing badminton regularly, but who doesn't want to commit to joining a club or who can't always find the right partner to play against.
There are two sessions;
Kidlington and Gosford Leisure Centre, every Thursday, 6.30pm to 7.30pm
Spiceball Leisure Centre, every Thursday 4.30pm to 5.30pm.
The sessions cost £2.50 each and rackets will be provided for the first couple of weeks. The initiative has been paid for by the council's successful bid for Sport Unlimited funding from Sport England.
Cherwell District Council's portfolio holder for environment, recreation and health, Cllr George Reynolds, said: "If you haven't tried badminton before, this is your chance. Bring along your friends and enjoy playing the game in an informal atmosphere under the watchful eye of a qualified coordinator. It's great for all round fitness, but above all - it's fun".

No strings attached!
