It depends on the venue. If you book a court at the sports hall, nets are provided. The booking fee is also more expensive. If you book a court at the various community clubs, most do not provide nets. Booking fee is less expensive.

I guess somebody has to take the lead or we all end up just waiting to see if anybody does. So let me compile all the email IDs of the folks who have responded and send you guys a group email and then hopefully form a group that can interlock on a periodic basis and play some badminton !
