[Pete LSD]

There will be many drop-in guests this Sat. Anyone interested please arrive no later than 9:00 PM.

[wood_22_chuck]

[604badder]

You guys want another floater to practice with? ?? :D

[jjengineer]

how does drop-ins at vrc work @@

[cappy75]

Thanks PeterLSD for getting this practice group together. I was at work when he called:rolleyes:. However, I was glad to come out and work out some kinks in my form:).

For other non-VRC BF'ers, please pm me or any other known VRC BF'ers if you're interested in joining the fun. I believe we have another sizable gathering coming up this Sat. night. Rules are pretty simple: drop-in is $10 ($7 with guest pass) but you must be signed in by a member as a guest. Non-marking shoes only and you must contribute your share of decent feather shuttles with the right speed (bare minimum quality = Pro Flex shuttles?) to your games (each player throw in one shuttle per game). You can choose to finish the remaining shuttles from your last game or toss to see who gets the rest of it if you split your group.

Unfortunately for the Sat. gathering, Dave woodchuck and TTT will likely not be able to join us cuz they're heading down south to spend their hard-earned CANADIAN DOLLARS in the states:p. On Canada Day no less:rolleyes:. Anyway, I am sure this Saturday night will be lively:).

[wood_22_chuck]

Lemme wangle Mrs wood_22_chuck into making it a day-trip, and see what happens! :)

Had fun last night. :D

-dave

[Pete LSD]

It was a fun night with TTT, Cappy75, SchrodringerCat, Wood_22_Chuck. We went for early breakfast at the local Denny's at 1:45 AM afterward. :D

[Pete LSD]

You get to come out on Sat!


You guys want another floater to practice with? ?? :D

[cappy75]

Definitely hope we could do that more often. Thursdays are usually quiet after the mixed so it's great for drills and practice. Too bad I will be joining 604Badder in C1's advance class friday evenings starting next week. Won't be able to make it to thursday practice if there's another one cuz back-to-back baddy is too much for me:(. Will try to learn as much as I can from that class and bring what I learn to our practice when I am done:).

[604badder]

You get to come out on Sat!

Ah nuts, I'm spending all day building houses at Habitat for Humanity, so I'm going to be too tired for baddy..... I was hoping for Friday :(. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Pete LSD]

There are someone there right now! Go . . . :D

Hi,
I am from Everett, Wa. I am planning a trip to BC this coming Saturday and I would like to drop in at VRC to play badminton. Anybody know how can I get guess pass?

Thank you,
Greg

[cappy75]

Hey Greg,

The guest pass is not a requisite for playing in VRC. It only saves you $3. What is required is that you have to be a guest of a member. In fact, I think guest passes are not for sale to non-members.

[Pete LSD]

Anyway, I was late last night. Here is the list of BF'ers who showed up:

Badmad
Richard
Richardhe
Nepherus

[cappy75]

It's not a huge gathering by any standard, but I think it's a blessing in disguise... it was just insane out there on the courts last night:eek:. Average 5 games only for some of the people I talked to last night... usually 8 games average or more during regular weekends.

[wood_22_chuck]

Was fun meeting up again with the guests! :D wwcbro, always a pleasure, good fun and laughs as usual :D

-dave

[ViningWolff]

I'll be in town july 15 - 18th - I'm rehabbing my knee, so there is an outside chance I can play, but I will stop by..


I gotta put poor PeteLSD though some nasty weight training :eek:
I'm all for an eatfest - could use some dim sum :D

[Pete LSD]

My goodness . . . I will be tortured!!! Just can't imagine a stickman like myself holding irons.

Actually, a lot of the South Arm Community Centre regulars dropped in last night. That's why some people averaged 5 games.

[wood_22_chuck]

I'm in for it, too, Vining/Peter ... weight training and dim sum! :D Count me in!

-dave

[cappy75]

Dim Sum:eek:?! Could we really play until 10AM the next day... from 9pm? Just in time for brunch:D. Weight training and Dim Sum... so who's trying to lose weight here:rolleyes:?

[wood_22_chuck]

Lose weight? What's that? :D

-dave

[ViningWolff]

If I attempt to play all night long, Mrs Wolff will insert my raquets in a very unpleasant place....

[Pete LSD]

:eek::eek::eek: Hey Vining, do you have insurance for that particular part? :D:D:D

Yes his racquet's insured ahhahaaha.... :D

Vinning, hope your knee's getting better. Can't wait to see you out here again.

[ViningWolff]

Went out on the bike last night for over 30 minutes and I'll start lunges tonight - if all goes well I hope to be out hitting with the Cooler and guys at U of C this weekend.

Got a shipment of Gosen 88 string coming in and I managed to track down two more of my beloved Forza SP-9000 racquets. Hope to have the smash back on track for VRC.

[Pete LSD]

Apparently, 30 mins on the bike is what I do everyday to get the knee back on track. After bike, it is mandatory to hold weights in each hand and each squats . . . Siggghhhhh, an injuried knee is the most difficult body part to heal properly.

And even after your knees 'healed', you're still gonna do it all the time;)...

Is your company playing corp. challenge this year?

so glad i'm your in not your division, and nortel is losing good player year after year :) Last year nortel had 2 MAL players. One (from flextronic merger) couldn't speak english but sure could play badminton :crying:

OK, let's get this straight. It's Madbad, NOT Badmad. There's some other dude out there called Badmad. Anyway just back from Seattle with a bunch of goodies from the Adidas and Nike stores (at the new outlet mall). Will be on display the next time. Thanks for the games Sat night–too bad I didn't get a chance to play with you or Cappy. Next time.

[Nephrus]

Yeah !:mad: and its Nephrus not Nepherus !!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :D

[Pete LSD]

Sorry guys! Must be seeing shuttlecocks instead of the screen! Got poisoned by baddie :D ha ha ha.

[Pete LSD]

So who will show up on Wed? Will need to have a MX re-match between Nao & Jesse Vs. Pete LSD & Speed78.

Even though I had a nimble mind but too bad the "s"peed of mine isn't fast enough,perhaps I should change into "S"peed78.:cool: OH! I think "SPEEDY78" is the best!:D It's "FUNG-SUI"!:p

[cappy75]

Heh! Speed78, your potential for speed is there... you're just not exercising enough:p! It takes more than baddy alone to improve your movement on the court;). Methink we need to get more training sessions together once timeless is back playing:).

i think u should just lower your speed rating to say.... 74. :p

[cappy75]

Well, hopefully he'll show up tonight:(. Had a chat with him on the phone and he said that he and the Mrs. will try to make it out this evening. Keep your fingers crossed.

[madbad]

[cappy75]

Hopefully the usual time:p. I will be there around 8pm to play in the mixer night.
