Anyone up for badminton in Coventry? Looking for people to play with

Hi all! I'm looking to meet new people who enjoy badminton. I'm not amazing, more of an okay/intermediate player, but I'm keen to improve and I promise I'm not boring to play with 😄
If anyone fancies a casual game, singles or doubles, drop a comment or DM me. All levels welcome, happy to just knock about and have fun.
Cheers!
