Badminton Vancouver

[spy007z]

Thanks Spy, I live in Burnaby too. I've certainly heard your suggestions before and we are working to correct the deficiencies. We'll definetely be taking care of the office lights shortly as well as the front entrance daylight ASAP. The music is enjoyed by most and will be staying, sorry if it really bugs you.

Thanks again for your feedback!

Thanks for taking the advice.

Is this Friday drop-in 7:00pm - 1:00am only a trial or going to be on for every Friday?

What is the max number of people allowed to signup? Also would like to know if 4 friends come, can they stay together for the whole night.. we won't mind wait a bit longer to get a court.

I know there is a saying that if 4 ppl come, you should book a court... but booking a court is not available since all your courts will be for drop-in. Also $6 for over 5 hours of play is a good deal.

Well, its a bit of a trial, if its popular enough, I think it will be implemented. I know its a good deal, hoping to meet many eager badminton enthusiasts young and old. As for staying together the whole night, the drop in supervisor will do their best to accomodate, you are however lkely to get more playing time but just playing where you are assigned to.

However about max number of people allowed to sign up? Trying to estimate average wait time here.

Oh come on!! At this rate I won't get to play with you until... I don't know... 2014?

About time for another meet/beat down my friend

what's wrong with the food at Badminton Vancouver?!??!! What could be better, have dinner and then play badminton in the same place?

Pretty sure the little ones will get bored pretty quick.

Might very well be 2014 as my wife and I are expecting our 2nd.

This is a great deal. Knowing most of my friends, we won't play more than 3 hours for drop in. With this 6 hour time slot, it lets people drop in at various times and still be able to get their 2-3 hours of badminton in. Some people start at 7 pm finish at 10 pm, while others start later 9 pm and finish at midnight.

I get first dibs on the mx80! Oh, btw congrats CD.

[CanucksDynasty]

Thanks guys!!! But with another kid = less badminton. At least for the 1st year. MX80 already sold to my friend. It's his backup to his own MX80.

Finally managed to find time to drop by B-V on the way home from work. Spent about an hour looking at the facility and chatting with Derrick.

It looks like drop-ins are now every day with three different rates (8am to 1pm - $3.95; 1pm to 7pm - $4.95 and 7pm to close - $5.95)

In my tour of the facility with Derrick, I'd noticed that various comments re: light/reflection off the windows of the second floor office (and yes, it will be fixed - Derrick) and that the support columns are really close to the courts - the serious baddy players will probably book the courts on the sides to avoid those columns. The table tennis area will need some barriers to prevent balls from coming onto the badminton courts (which will be done).

Overall, the facility looks good and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Anyone up for a drop-in one of these evenings (maybe Wednesday)?
