About us
Welcome to Helsinki Activity Buddies!
We started this group because we wanted a simple way to meet people and make more fun plans in Helsinki — not just one specific activity, but anything that gets us out and doing something.
Most events will be small-group plans, so it feels easier to connect.
Think badminton, hiking, bowling, board games, coffee, walks, picnics, dance tasters, events, or other casual activities around the city.
Nothing too serious, nothing too competitive. Just a relaxed group for people who want to try different things, meet others, and make evenings or weekends a bit more interesting.
Come alone, with your partner, or with a friend. Let’s show up, try something fun, and see where it goes.

https://www.melbournesmashers.com.au/grading/Minimum required level: B− (Lower Intermediate).
Being able to serve, return a few shots, or maintain short rallies does not automatically qualify as lower intermediate.### ⚠️ Skill Assessment & RSVP Policy
Playing levels may be assessed at the beginning of the session. If your level is below B−, we may decline your RSVPs for future badminton events.
Please don't take this personally. We have previously experienced situations where a significant difference in playing ability slowed down games across both courts, affecting everyone involved.
All participants pay to play and deserve games at the advertised level. Even one player who cannot keep up can affect the pace and enjoyment of several games.
### 💳 Payment, Cancellation & No-Show Policy
- Payment: €4.50 via MobilePay (+358 45 783 92554). Please pay within 24 hours of RSVPing, or your spot may be released to someone on the waitlist.
- Cancellation: Cancel at least 48 hours before the event for a refund. After that, refunds are only possible if you find a replacement player who takes and pays for your spot.
- No-Shows: If you RSVP and pay but do not attend without informing the organiser, your future RSVPs may be declined. Unexpected absences affect player numbers and can disrupt the games for everyone.
We understand that plans can change, so please keep your RSVP updated and inform the organiser as early as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! 😊
