Yes, those are the correct times. It's not been busy the last few weeks, but it's always best to arrive a bit early

Plastic shuttles? Hmmmm.....okay, I'll bring my Yonex racquets.

Can't make it, went physio for my right shoulder yesterday. Won't be able to play for a couple of days. ( I hope!)

Hey wood_22_chuck..
nice seeing you..too bad we both got there a bit late
and can't play.

But Saturday was pretty good there.

Will try to catch you again the next time i am back in Van..

Have a nice flight home, dont_cgy ... Next time I'll get there earlier! Hope to get some games with you then.

Hey don_cgy

just as well you didn't get in last night to play. around 8:30 there was an old fellow (mr. chang - 80+ year old), who after playing a game with some younger players, went to sit down, then all of a sudden dropped to the floor. either stroke or something, but he was unconscious for a few minutes. the attendances had to rush in, amublance and firetruck came. he awoke, but had no recollection of what happened. they took him to hospital, but in the meantime they had to shut down the gym for the night.

today was fun. i only played a couple of fun games. sorry we didn't link up. quite busy in the gym today.

Hey dont_cgy,

Sorry to hear that you missed linking up with the other BF'ers for games. You could have persisted and go to VRC with wood_22_chuck that night. I am more than happy to sign you in. It's really unfortunate that you have picked the wrong night to drop-in though, me and a few other club members have decided to form our own training group and specifically train on friday nights. Next time you wanna drop-in, Saturday evening would be a great time to come in.

**Project84** · 10-18-2004, 01:17 AM

yeah it was really unfortunate for that senior
i was there as well
which court did you play?
i was the one farthest from the main door

we didn't play on friday night, we were justchatting with alan thru the evening behind the 3rd court from the door. i did play a couple games on saturday though.

btw - if you are playing next friday night again, check your name on alan's list and you can get credit for last friday night since you only got 1/2 the playing time.

Wow...talk about an eventful evening there.
I should have stuck around and watch some games then...
hmm..
Well hopefully next time, i'll make sure to get there early,
i kinda thought i wouldn't get in, since it was 15min late
and i was warn about the getting there early.

Ya, next time..i'll give that a try
and drop in there to play some games there.

I'll check up with you guys the next time i go, so i can arrange to
meet up with some of you. altho, probably get my a$$ kick, but
worth the experience and fun.

Well, back in the office
and reading up on all of these..

Guess i better make a bit better backup

I didn't get to play at BCIT also, apparently they had
Karate tournament there.

But at least i have an idea where it is locate.
I would say playing at Clearone was something different.
