non-member is $20 PER session.
if you're a member, its $30 per month if you play once a week and $60 per month if you play twice a week.
coaches are there to help you if you have any queries

Hey MSHSBadmPlayer, was great playing with you and the others last night!

Thank you for being merciful as well!

Appreciate that! Please continue giving me pointers by the way :P

As for costing, I gather that they encourage regular playing hence the $20/session if you are an ad-hoc player.

Go for a trial session and decide for yourself the worth of it all, a lot of things in life cannot be measure in monetary terms

Gee... sounding so old!!!!

In Singapore, if you are anywhere near Bukit Timah, you could go to the Assumption Boys School on Upper Bukit Timah Road (it's next to the Cashew Road turn-off). Taxi drivers know this place better as 'Boys Town'.
There are 6 courts inside (the Vincent Hall) and they play everyday. The best time is from 6pm to 10pm. The level of play ranges from intermediate to advanced.
The sessions are managed by Tang Eng Han, a former Singapore national player. If ever there was someone with the right blend of skill and humility, Han is the guy.
Give him a call or send him an SMS (mobile: 9238 7689) and he will give you directions and tell you how you can join the game.
The shuttles are free (and they're high quality too) and an evening's play would cost you around S$5 to S$8 depending on how long you play. You could also book time on a monthly basis (although they might all be taken at the moment).
If you do join, look me up - I play occasionally (on Saturdays).

Oldhand! What a great source of information! Thank you!

Strictly intermediate and above? Or should I go for a trial session for the other players' assessment? Asking because have only been playing a year +
-_-"

***Oldhand*** · 08-14-2007, 11:35 PM

There are even 9-year-olds playing there.
Your level isn't a matter of concern.
Give Han a call and ask him how you could join.
(I could help but I'm in Seoul right now.)
