It might help people decide whether they can make it if you include average ferry and hotel pricing nearby the venue? Maybe I can convince my wife we need a weekend badminton getaway heheheh .
When I came to Vancouver to play I paid about $42 for vehicle and myself each way. Extra person is around $8. You could technically come over for the day if wanted. Walk on for around $8/person and I could pick 6 people up at the ferry and take them back for $5/person (that's if there's 3 or more people) or $7/person (less than 3 people) round trip...must be on the 9am ferry. Maybe WWC will rent out his unit that's downtown!?!!? Best deal would be Traveller's Inn. About 10 min drive away. Grab coupon from ferry for this rate or reserve online www.travellersinn.com Spring Rates: from $59.95 ($43.95 USD) (Mar. 1 - May 15) Shoulder Rates: from $79.95 ($58.95 USD) (May 16 - Jun. 12) This would be a fun filled day of playing lots of badminton. Two rounds of round robin play of about 4, 5 or 6 teams in each pool.
I hope it will not be the May long weekend. I know there will be a bunch going to the Washington Open.
If you're looking at May, the 1st/2nd and the 15th/16th would probably be better dates. The 8th might be an ok date as well. On the 22nd/23rd is the VRC junior B tournament. The Washington Open is also running on the 22nd. Then on the 29th is my fun tournament at Bethany Church in Richmond. -Rick
Panhandle, since you are coming to the lower mainland, why don't you just organize a tournament here while your at it. Instead of having all of us going over to victoria, it can just be you coming here..hahaha
