Despite a cold, grey start we made for the new Café 3 Sixty in Bovey Tracey, thawing by the stove with bikes on the indoor racks. Sunshine brightened the return, after Dillan tried the park’s exercise machines and a brief call at Sue and Jude’s.

With snow lingering on the lanes and rain about, the morning ride became a badminton social at Ivybridge Leisure Centre, rounded off with a Costa at Marsh Mills before a computer games session back home. A brisk, good‑humoured switch that kept the club together.

An Ashmoor booking mix-up left us without courts, but with just four we improvised doubles in the gymnasium, working around the low ceiling. Courts are rebooked for the next two weeks, so normal service resumes next Friday.

With a poor forecast we kept it short with a ride to Ashburton, swapping pedals for badminton at Ashmoor leisure centre despite three-quarters of the lights being out. A spell of steady rain sent us into the Brick House café, before bright sunshine and a playful stop at the skate park saw us home.

Another enjoyable badminton evening at Ashmoor, made more interesting by a full complement of players that kept every game flowing and the pace brisk.

The Bovey Tracey contingent were fifteen minutes late, but we still made the most of the session with some excellent games of badminton at Ashmoor. A slow start became a lively, enjoyable run of matches.
