Awesome thanxs for the input I was about to go to those center too, would be a waste of time if there is not drop in for me.
Yes, Collingwood Neighbourhood House will be open on the May long weekend for the Sunday high-intermediate / advance session time: from 10am to 1pm cost: drop-in fee $3.25 paid at the frontdesk and shuttle fee of $3.50 paid in the gym The shuttle fee is to cover the cost of supplying feather birds. Too bad I won't be there, I'll be in Washington trying to change their badminton tournament name to the "BC WA Open" ROFLMAO Someone else will be running it for me. There are no Friday sessions at Collingwood, only Wed at 8:45pm and Thur at 7:00pm, they are open to all levels and BYOB. Cheers!
Oh i'm very excited to have this many inputs, awesome people in this forum. Now I'm getting all my facts straight I can have some fun playing badminton in vancouver. Thanxs Break My String
Hi, Nephrus, first thanxs for replying my post, I got the impression that there is no drop in VRC unless you know a member to sign you in. " VRC gang"? can you clarlify on what you mean? does that mean you will sign me and my friends up or you know someone will? I will be happy to play with anyone willing to play too while I'm there. Please give me more detail in how I can reach or make plans if it's not a hassle for you or anyone involved. Peace out.
by that I meant that there is a group of forum members here that are members of VRC and have a history of having great hospitality to out of country baddy lovers by signing them in to VRC for a night of torture... erm fun I mean. Each member can only sign in one guest though so you are going to have let us know when and how many.
just a slight correction if you are coming to play at yumo on the 21st of may, we now extended our night time drop in on Sun-Thurs to 10pm - 2am at the same cost of $4.50 each person!
