Hi Master Viper . VRC is similar to SGVBC: both are 24 hours a day and 365 days a year dedicated badminton facility. Why not drop by this summer ? And bring the big Panda along .

Vancouver has a 24 Hr badminton Gym? Wow. I gotta go sometimes next year. Hang out with Pete..

..Master Viper is hitching a ride, then he might've to take a ride on Master NGP's bike to save up on the gas...

Lots of places to play in the North Shore. John Braithwaite Community Centre has lots of badminton slots.. Wed at 1pm, as well as in the evenings at 8. St Anthony's School in West Van also has a good club that plays on Fri evenings at 730 and on Sun afternoons. If you are free in the daytime, you could play at Delbrook Community Centre on Tues and Thur from 1-3pm. There are lots more places such as Parkgate, North Shore Neigborhood House etc that have programs.

I noticed in the original article, there are 35 players on the waiting list for membership. Is the gym often crowded during the prime time? Is guests allowed to visit and drop-in to play? or must be accompanied by a member?
If I visit, Pete can bring me in as guest?
BTW, what is the drop-in fee for guests?

It depends... because it's 24/7 access, most people come with their own group and often each group drops in on specific days so it's not always busy everyday. FYI, it's $10 drop-in, but $7 if you have a guest pass. And yes, guest must be accompanied by members for the duration of his visit.

Is the gym often crowded during the prime time? Not all the time but certain groups meet and play at certain time

Is guests allowed to visit and drop-in to play? Yes (guest must be accompanied by a member)

or must be accompanied by a member? Yes

If I visit, Pete can bring me in as guest? Absolutely

BTW, what is the drop-in fee for guests? CAD7 something (forgot the exact amount & exchange rate is USD0.90 something to CAD1.00)

You forgot a few more questions:

• How do you pack one Master NGP along?
• Is Master Chris part of the tour?
• Are the rest of SGVBC folks also part of the tour ?

..we have to rent a bus, if the rest of the SGVBC folks are coming..on the way north, we probably can swing by S.F. and pick up kwun and anyone else who wants to come along..
