That's right BH, NSW BA is so hopeless. It's done between AU BA and NSW govt who made the deal. As I heard millions of $$$ is now held by Federal Govt pending improvement on badminton development in NSW, they are disappointed as over the years $$$ is not well spent in our state. So hopefully that will change soon.BTW we should make a good plan on how to replace that lady witch from running NSW BA LOL
Np Yoppy... ..its the Event NSW and BA plus Li Ning's effort..so sad that we are not going to see Yonex Booth anymore.. yup NSW BA is hopeless......haha the correct name is Mak Lampir..not witch..too pretty for witch..
I can put you as one of the line judges and you will have an excuse to go to Sydney for the whole week, how about that?
Not monetarily as yet, but you dont have to buy ticket at all, its free access without ticket for line judges in and out of the venue for the whole time (including semi final and final). Plus a good very chance to chat/take photo with players. Not to mention getting an official BWF line judge certificate, a pre-requisite for a full judge badge.
Good to see this event in Sydney! looks like they are already starting to get things movin! apparently they are having hewitt do something for the tournament launch next week! should be interestin!
Do you know when the dates will be? I'm very interested in this but am only in Sydney until July before I fly home to the UK. Scratch that, April, I will see you there!
I'm sure the fans in Sydney are lovely, I'll be one of them. How much experience do you have to have for line judging?
http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/seriesshowtickets.aspx?sh=EMIS0000012AS&v=&p= Tis what I'm thinking mate but I'm going with a friend of mine who lives in sydney. Dunno if he'll want to pay an extra $150...
Yeah, though that's for all sessions..all 5 days. I'll be coming from perth so I'm thinking I might as well go whole hog if i gotta fly over there.
Fairy Nuff. I should probably do at least Fri/Sat/Sun Finals which is 100 bucks. Maybe I'm outta touch but that still seems like a lot just to see Sho Sasaki play Tien Minh Nguyen This is quickly turning into a $Grand$ long weekend!
