Wokingham: Tuesday senior club night - St Crispin's Leisure Centre https://badminton-players.com/community/posts/seed-event-threeclubs-tue

No Strings sessions are usually the easiest way to meet players before joining a club.

If speed in defence matters most, I would still lean Nanoflare over a head-heavier frame at that budget.

A named host at the door helps a lot. It removes that awkward first ten minutes where people are not sure who to speak to.

Nanoflare 1000 Play with Exbolt 63 at 23 lbs. Fast enough in defence and much less demanding than the stiffer frames.
