    Hi folks!

    I'll be flying back to the GVA for the Xmas Holidays. I need my badminton fix while I'm there.

    I've played at Cambie Community Centre and Clearone before. I don't think that Cambie CC will be open during the holidays. What about the Richmond badminton club??

    Any ways, I'm looking for intermediate/advanced players that don't mind having me tag along and join them them to play some badminton. My family lives in Richmond but am willing to travel to Vancouver/Burnaby areas to play.
    Will play both feather (more used to) and plastic.

    Traum? Break-My-Strings? Help... need fix... cannot live w/o badminton. LOL

    Thanks for the help guys/gals.

    RBC is also closed for the holidays as they utilizes a school gym. Your best bet is either ClearOne, VRC or Collingwood. Hopefully BMS can publish Collingwood's Xmas schedule

    For Collingwood, the last Sunday session this Xmas 2005 is Dec 11th.

    I am already on the hunt for a special Xmas booking(s) to get my baddy fix when Collingwood's closed! :crying:

    Stay tuned... Cheers!

    Hate to be a spoilsport here but VRC does have club rules regarding guests. For those interested, please contact PeteLSD or any of us VRC BF'ers before you show up at the door.

    Four specifics you have to adhere to besides general common courtesies: get a member to sign you up, must have proper equipment (non-marking shoes and no sleeveless tees), must not be a junior (under 18), and you must have proper feather shuttles to contribute in your games. You bring plastics, you'll be playing alone. I am not being harsh here as that's the way it is in the club.

    Guest passes are available for $7 but w/o one will cost you $10 to drop-in.

    Thanks folks and have a happy holidays!
