United Badminton Club, Fremont, CA

Hi Fibi713,

Unfortunately, only players registered on our website will be invited to the opening days. We have several reasons for that.

1. We want to try to limit the number of players because we truely want all players to enjoy the games without a crazy crowd and rush.

2. We will be implementing a 'computerized queuing system' on all the court games. And eventhough it is a very easy-to-use program, it will take our staff few mins to instruct/teach the new players on how to use it. That being said, we certainly dont want to overwhelm our staff with a huge crowd!

Also, we cannot guarantee that everyone that signed up on the feedback form will be invited, players will be randomly selected. I think the only person with a confirmed invitation is our VIP Kwun and Janet!

We will begin mailing out the guest passes 2 weeks prior to the Grand Opening, and again, please visit our website periodically for updates.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Already in March, "where's the beef?" Can't wait to see this new gym.

[kwun]

before April, they said in the FAQ:

When are you going to open for business?



Actual date has not been set yet, but we are anticipating sometime before April 2005. Avid badminton players are encouraged to visit us online periodically as we will not only update the on-going events with the club, but will also offer promotional or FREE guest passes to try out the gym.

Wow..I just drove by the future site of this new gym few days ago. It looks awesome from the outside. Location is perfect. Right next to the new Costco and Fremont Automall. Very convenient and safe neighbourhood.

My opinion, UBC is definitely the first of its kind in the Bay Area. Only a few weeks away...can't wait..

Eagerly waiting to check this place out.

Wow that sounds fantastic--I never realized the location was so optimal next to the 880 exit. I visit Costco/Lowe's and nearby Home Depot, as well as the Newpark Mall, almost weekly and there are always so many shoppers filling up the parking lots, so UBC is sure to get much traffic. And for those hungry before/after playing, there's a pretty good dim-sum restaurant a few blocks down the road in Fu Lam Moon. If I remember, I'll take my digital camera next time I pass by and get some outside shots for fellow BFers

If ubc reads this, he might want to ask his web design folks to enlarge that center content panel on the website. It seems too small/short at the moment and every page requires scrolling down to read much of anything.

I am sure Janet and Kwun would like to know any free cocktail during open ceremony/invitation session, at least for the top 5 members of the invitation list?

Han, you get to play free badminton and now you ask for free food as well?

free badminton will keep me full.

Just checked out the facilities myself. The building looks really professional, adjacent to Costco and next door to a Fremont Pediatric Medical Facility. The only slight inconvenience in terms of driving was the absence of a driveway when exiting the facilities, where you have to make a U-turn to get back onto the road. It reminded me of Bintang in that if you go from eastbound on 237, you also have to make a U-turn to get onto the appropriate road.

I drove around, but didn't bother taking any pictures yet, seeing how construction was still under way. I was hoping to check out the 4 layer specialized flooring, but found concrete and construction material instead (along with a portable basketball hoop--for the laborers? ).

Can't wait for the grand opening

that's why it is behind schedule, now i understand......
