Hi, I'm coming over for a wedding on May 29th and am looking to play some badminton on Sunday the 30th. Want to play between noon and enough time to catch the 5 or 7pm ferry. Any suggestions? Would be nice to play against some BF'ers so they can see what my panhanld is all about instead of reading it!!!
Well, Collingwood would be the first thing that pops to mind. I saw you last time at Collingwood but didn't get the chance to taste panhandle yet. Looking forward to facing it
You can skip the wedding and attend Traum's tournament instead on the 29th !!!!! Sundays? Definitely Collingwood, 12pm - 2:30 pm session. $3 at the front desk, $3 to B-M-S ... -dave
Or you can have the wedding at Traum's tournament and the wedding could be the tournament. Like who ever wins, gets to marry the bride.
Yeah man. The wedding doesn't take the whole day, right? Come for the tourney first, and then head off to the banquet in the evening! -Rick
let's hope smashingbird doesn't win since he is not even legal to drink...it's like we'll all have to drink like water or fruit punches at wedding dinner...
You are just jealous that I can hold my drinking lust while you have to drink like everyday. Water and fruit punches are healthy, which leads to better badminton
I am helping out at the Cancer Society's Relay for Life on Saturday, if I can get out of that, I might come for the tourney...otherwise I'll just stick with Colingwood on Sunday. Is it busy? Do I have to get there at a certain time? Is there anywhere else to play afterwards?
Sunday afternoon is pretty much all Collingwood, or Vrc, there is RBC at night but you are heading back at 5pm. So anyone take my proposal of wedding + tournament?
If you are really interested in playing at the tourney, you'll have to register a team with me first. The tournament is gonna be a little more formal than the one BMS organized at the Collingwood Open House. Hope you would seriously consider playing at the tourney! -Rick
Friday play I am looking at coming over on Friday now. Where can I play on Friday and is anyone looking for a partner for Traum's tourney on May 29th?
This friday after 9pm (presumably after the juniors' training)... Vancouver Racquets Club is at 33rd Ave and Ontario St. (two blocks from Main St.). Should be easy to find on the map.
On Fridays, adults usually monopolize the courts as early as 7PM... as far as I know there is no need to wait until after 9PM. I think PeteLSD and Schrodinger play on Fridays so perhaps they can say when is a good time to go.
See this thread http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15957 Looks like the guys will be getting together on Friday evening too.
I will be there at 7:30 pm. Can you make it at or after 7:30pm? There might be other BFer there before 7:30pm.
