I am still getting messages from players who have not visited MSAC before.

Perhaps, the link provided above does not show the location clear enough.

Please refer to your Melways Street Directory... and you can find that MSAC is located on page 2K D7 (next to Albert Park Lake).

Please be informed that our players@CCC Badminton Club have been using the New Scoring System(NSS) which was introduced by the BWF 2 years ago.

Anyone unfamiliar with the NSS, please do not hesitate to ask me to explain how it works.

The confirmation of players who are coming is appreciated. :):):)

true true. who can forget some of the lonely nites where we all play singles for the whole nite (box hill and certainly wantirna CCC) comes to mind?

is lewellyn coming to wednesday/fri MSAC? cos the "pay next week and save" (will explain more tomorrow nite) idea can be resurrected if him and I can work this together. Due to the nature of MSAC in terms of court booking, it might be a good idea to fast track this for wed/fri MSAC CCC.

i can commit and wouldn't mind doing this extra work in terms of admin but i also need backup (lewellyn). I need to work out how members would communicate to me since apprarently forum is only good for announcement but not interactions and ideas.

Hi hkhung,

For your suggested "Pay for next week and Save" system...

You can do it by yourself with me. Just collect their prepaid fees and record their names, and give them both to me a session in advance. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid, as helmut says it). :):):)

Llewellyn will not be attending our sessions@MSAC, so I will be the one to work with you.

Also, if less than 8 players are interested in this system, it is not worthwhile for us to carry it out.

Cheers... chris@ccc

got you. let's hope Llewellyn would be 100% when we go back to wantirna, i miss our usual single tussle at the end of the nite.



Also, if less than 8 players are interested in this system, it is not worthwhile for us to carry it out.

agree. i will sell this idea tonite at supper time. If people like it, i will advertise it in coming weeks. cheers.

thanks once again you decide to help me on this idea. c u all tonite!

I think it is better to inform players during the Badminton session because not all players will attend supper.

BTW, our supper will be Pasta & Pizza. A tastier and cheaper restaurant is located only 2 minutes drive from MSAC.

Well, 6 players attended our Pasta & Pizza supper... and we enjoyed some discussions.

* Jonas-C explained to us how his European Badminton Tournaments are conducted.
* Jonas-C also explained how his London clubs apply colours for their 'Peg Systems'.
* Agreed to have Dinner (instead of Lunch) for our Chinese New Year 2008 Celebration.
* To encourage players to 'car pool' when attending our sessions@MSAC.
* Talked about hkhung's 'Pay for next week and Save' system.
* Explained how to join our CCC Badminton group@Facebook.
* Players to indicate whether they will/will not be attending via CCC@Badminton Central.

BTW, it was great to welcome David-T coming from Werribee to join us@MSAC.

Chris's supper time report, welcome back!

Chris, it might be useful to tell people the name/address of the pizza supper place so they can all come and join us next time.

If in luck, we might even get some people who finish partying in city to just come for supper. Well, that's happened before in box hill and glen waverley@ccc.


* Talked about hkhung's 'Pay for next week and Save' system.

obviously i would need to type this up as a draft to get interest. i will try to do that next couple of days.



* Agreed to have Dinner (instead of Lunch) for our Chinese New Year 2008 Celebration.

we agreed on date(2/2 sat day), time (7pm) and the place (same place as last year - remind me never to sing sad songs in karaoke, hang on maybe we could dance rumba to do that), it should be easy to go from here.



* To encourage players to 'car pool' when attending our sessions@MSAC.

this is suggested for the people who all live in glen waverley (siva, andrew H comes to mind). although we need to further investigate how to do this for them since we don't see them coming to MSAC CCC anymore. anyway, i will suggest this to andrew next time i talk to him on MSN.

Hi kelvin_k,

Thank you for posting the picture taken at supper after our CCC@MSAC on Friday 18-Jan-2008. :):):)

We missed you last night@MSAC, Wednesday 23-Jan-2008. We had a large crowd of 20 players attending.

Greetings,

A reminder that CCC Badminton will return to Waverley on Friday 1-Feb-2008.

During the month of January 2008 while we were @MSAC, it was found;
(1) For Wednesday night, twice the number of our players wanted to play @MSAC
(2) For Friday night, twice the number of our players wanted to play @Waverley

A decision has been made.
(1) For Wednesday night, we will remain to play @MSAC
(2) For Friday night, we will return to play @Waverley

Therefore tomorrow night, Friday 25-Jan-2008, will be our last night @MSAC.

Cheers... chris@ccc

Thanking chialinho for informing us that he will be playing tonight, Friday 25-Jan-2008.

There will be another Ann (Ann-T) coming tonight... It's her first time attending, so please make her feel welcome.

Greetings,

It was not a bad night to end our CCC@MSAC Friday Social Session. We had 14 players. And 10 players attended our supper after the session.

It was great to have 3 new players attending, namely Ann-T, John-Q and William-W. :):):)

So from next Friday 1-February-2008 onwards... we will return to our CCC@Waverley Friday Social Session and the thread is located at:

Please Note: Our CCC@MSAC Wednesday Social Session will not return to Waverley, but to remain @MSAC.

Cheers... chris@ccc
