Hi, thanks for getting this far! Nice to meet you, my name is Rob. I cannot wait to greet you at your hotel and get you all meeting each other, relaxed and playing badminton together.

​

I used to be a teacher and now I have changed careers into coaching / mentoring / support work. Although I enjoy supporting people, I miss the group dynamics within teaching. My most enjoyable job was being a holiday rep. I loved and still love meeting different people from all walks of life, and what made repping special was supporting, organising, spending time and having fun with people when they were at their most relaxed. 

​

I lived abroad for about 13 years after doing my degree in foreign languages. I decided to come back to South Devon in the UK because of its sheer beauty, where I have been hosting and guiding Airbnb and language students for some years at my house to show them the area. About 2 years ago, having never done sport in my life, I took up badminton, and absolutely love it. I play 2 - 4 times a week in a very relaxed social club here of intermediate players. Some of us are competitive, but we also have fun. It has become a bit of a community, which is what I would like this business to become for many people.

​

Only recently I was thinking how great it would be to start up badminton weekend holidays, combining all my skills, by creating a package to help people get away, play badminton, have fun, explore Devon if they want to, and meet others. This weekend is for people who already have prior experience on the court.

 

I will eventually organise 'themed' weekends for instance "females only," "over 50s," "single and mingling", "coaching and play." Please message to say if you are interested if any of these. Perhaps you have other themed ideas?
