May I know who will be interested in playing badminton at Bishan Sports Hall?

I can start booking a court once there are at least 4 players including me.

Hi Watercolours,

If you can fix a time and have the courts booked weekly, I can help to find more ppls to joint.
But for starting, just get 4 to 6 ppls, 1 court of 2 hours.

Mon, Wed & Thur evening, 7pm to 10pm is fine with me.

Hi Melvyn, i need to know when most people are free before i can attempt to book a court. Actually for me, i like to play sports before dinner, so 3-6 pm appeals to me more...but if most people are free at another time slot, then i'll go with the majority.

P.S. :

Arcos, can you state which day of the week and what time of the day you prefer so i can make arrangements?

And Melvyn, can you also let me know which day and what time your friends wish to play too?

Tks!

So are the dates confirmed?Try to make it on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon because CEYSS are having training on Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 4-6 p.m.Tell me the dates,count me in.

Hi Minwei, glad that you are able to join us. Yup, so far we have:

1. Me
2. Arcos
3. Melvyn
4. Minwei

I was thinking of 2 December '04 (Thursday) for our first game together. I know its about a week+ more away but this is coz i will be having exams until 1 December.

Hope you guys can be patient and understanding

Let me finish my exams so i can play wholeheartedly with u'all without my minds being in 2 places okie

A one week wait can also be good coz in the meantime, let's see if we have more people who wish to join us....else only 4 people can be boring too.

So tentatively, I hope to book 2 courts on 2 Dec '04 (Thursday) afternoon for around 8-10 people. 10 people will be best since it enables one of us to be resting at any one time on each court to perhaps help to keep track of the score or just to relax awhile...

Meanwhile everyone take care and should the time/date be unsuitable for any of you, do reply to this thread and I will see what i can do.

FYI, the rates are as follows:

$3.50/hr for non-peak and $7.40/hr for peak

Non-Peak Hours (preferred):
7.00 am to 6.00 pm on weekdays, excluding public holidays

Peak Hours (too costly i feel):
6.00 pm to 10.00 pm on weekdays
7.00 am to 10.00 pm on weekends and public holidays

Hope the above info helps...

i live in amk, pretty near bishan

well, for time and date... i'm not too sure. in poly now, and most of the time, i should be in schl till around 5pm.

**feizhu** · 11-19-2004, 11:01 AM

Hi there,
my friends and I would love to join in. However, as we are working, we will only be able to make it after 630pm. So if you all are playing in the evenings, we would be most delighted to join. We have a group of about 4 - 6 players.

**Melvyn** · 11-19-2004, 11:08 AM

Watercolours,

I will be away for Taiwan this morning, be back on 29thNov.

I will keep myself free on 2nd Dec, Thur afternoon between 3pm - 6pm

Well everyone...as i said, the day and time are yet to be confirmed but it should be around the first few days of December...and since it may not be easy to find a time where everyone is free, what i propose is that I'll go with the time slot where the majority would be free....hope its ok with everyone...

Arcos, since you live in AMK, Bishan should be ok for you right? So i presume you can only make it on weekdays from 7-10pm right? What about weekends? Please confirm okie...

Feizhu, both you and your friends are welcome too!

So right now it seems evening time is best for most of us...

Hi Melvyn, no problem at all that you are coming back on the 29th Nov '04...after all we'll most likely be starting only in the early part of December...but regarding the time where we shall most likely be playing, it is still to be confirmed...i'll see when the majority are free...hope you ok with that...

**watercolours** · 11-19-2004, 11:32 AM

OK, let me do a "summary" :

1.Watercolours(me) 4-6pm
2.Arcos 7-10pm
3.Melvyn 4-6pm
4.Minwei 4-6pm
5.Feizhu 7-10pm
So far its quite even though 4-6pm looks to be the more preferred time....

**Melvyn** · 11-19-2004, 11:36 AM

1.Watercolours(me) 4-6pm
2.Arcos 7-10pm
3.Melvyn 4-6pm or 7-10pm depend on the day
4.Minwei 4-6pm
5.Feizhu 7-10pm

good night

Feizhu....let me know how many friends u bringing along ok? coz i hope that the maximum number of people meeting up is not more than 10 people since it will be the first time all of us meet...else it may be a bit overwhelming. Best is we have 5-6 people in all. Hmm...see first ok...
