We do a Booking List:
(1) To welcome BadmintonCentral members to attend.
(2) To ensure that players who have booked in would not be turned away.
(3) To ensure that we have enough games for all players, it is best not to exceed 18 players.
Hope to have our 'Booking List' finalised by Tuesday 7:30pm (24 hours before). MSAC requires us to confirm our court-booking 24 hours before.

Reminder:
If you cannot attend, you will need to be removed before 4:30pm on Wednesday, otherwise you will be charged.
Why? Because there are CCCers who are wishing to attend (checking to book in - up to the last hours) have found themselves missing out after we have FULL HOUSE.

For any questions about our CCC Badminton Club, please post to ask here (in this thread).

You are going to miss out this session? You will miss out on some "hot" issues at this session.

Why? Someone who is not happy with how we run our CCC Badminton Club is still insisting to return to play with us. I am still thinking what to do with him.

Thanks.

.
I shall explain it to you tonight. Just remember to ask me.

For tonight, you can leave it to me to select a partner for you.

Here is the post that he made on 17-Nov-2012;

Reading the posts you've made thus far, I personally felt that your comments were fair and were made in the best interest of the participants, whilst your attempts to highlight the issues of which the vast majority of us has been made to put up with were in the right ballpark.

I also trust that anyone who's true to themselves would have no trouble embracing your points, however it is based on this view that I am also equally certain that your efforts will go to waste (as has mine). As it seems we are in fact dealing with someone who had continously demonstrated a devoid of integrity.

I will elaborate this further, but first let me state that I've not had issues with some of the matters that have been unceremoniously brought into surface (i.e. playing structure, a 10-yr old mission statement, not-for-profit or profit (which might be an area of interest to the ATO, not us) and so forth), which I suspect is nothing more than an act deployed to distract those affected stakeholders from the real matters at hand.

Which now brings me to the issues I stand for;

I think you'd agree Daniel, if I said that it feels like we've been taken for a ride / as a fool. All of us made a commitment to be present at these sessions, and are entitled to an expectation that these sessions are set up in a reasonable manner, failing otherwise, at the very least a courtesy explanation as to why these expectations were not met. For example:

a. making it there on time as an organiser (being late for close to an hour of the planned 3 and half hours session, is definitely a material disruption to say the least)

b. shuttlecocks - this goes way back. In short, everybody including the organiser had unanimously agreed that the yellow shuttles are of inferior quality to the black one, point. Reasons given leading up from a few weeks ago were:

1) it was purchased as a favor to a friend supplier who needed to clear stocks (despite full knowledge (through expressed concerns by the participants and undisputed decades of subject matter experiences) that this isn't the shuttle of choice)
2) then, to seemingly fulfil the wishes of four (that is 4 out of 18) new participants who is preparing for a school tournament, which has nothing to do with the rest of the 14 participants!
3) and now, that there were a thousand of dollars of stocks already acquired as a result of a serious misjudgment (re; point one above), and therefore the easiest way is to shove it down the throat of the participants;
4) the participants have now also been reminded that they have no place whatsover to voice their grouses, despite the fact this represents the view of the majority of active participants, and despite the fact that now this issue has been brought to discussion in an open forum as insisted.

c. 18 max is EIGHTEEN MAXIMUM, point. Overriding this rule as and when one feel's like doing so is a serious disrespect to the other participants who had not only committed their evening just to find themselves forced into more waiting than playing time as can be rightfully expected, but whom had also fully paid for that session. Promoting the game or promoting higher fee collection, you be the judge.

All that non-member vs member vs trainee talk is nonsensical at best in my perspective Daniel. It's as simple as if the session is set up for the trainee, then do not make it open to social, if it's made open to social, then don't come up with rules which marginalise the non-trainee participants as we are not beggers for freebies, on the contrary, we pay full equal price (+ advanced membership fees) if not more as clearly illustrated in your earlier post, Daniel.

Any way, you should know that the views I expressed here are tailored for yours and other like minded fellow participants' consumption only, as I have lost any interest to driving these discussions any further.

And to your question Daniel, yes I will try to attend the remaining two sessions for the month, as I genuinely look forward to playing with you and the many friends I've gained over the course of the last couple of years (and for this I'd like to acknowledge the organiser) in these sessions of which I have loyally participated, before I go off for my holidays in Dec.

Hi guys,

I won't be playing tonight due to sickness. Sorry for inconvenience.

Chris,

I will still pay for the session, since my notice is later than 4.30pm. Probably pay you next week.

Regards,
Desmond

Wednesday CCC at MSAC: 09-Jan-2013 (A short report)

* It's our 247th Wednesday Social Session at MSAC (after we have moved here permanently); and it's our 2nd for this year.

* We thank CCCers for removing themselves when they couldn't attend, therefore allowing others to join in. As you know by now, if you have booked in and did not turn up, you will be fined the session fee (because you have prevented others from taking your place).

* We welcomed 3 new players;
1. Kang-W (Wen-Y's friend)
2. Ping-W (Wen-Y's friend)
3. Bala-S (from email)

* It's also great to welcome back so many CCCers (who were away for their holidays).

* Our Summer Season (Dec-Feb) membership has commenced. Existing members are reminded to make their renewal ASAP. CCers who have made renewal are;
1. Markus-H
2. Daisy-L
3. Brendan-L
4. Jerry-L
5. Wen-Y
6. Dhina-G
7. Jenny-T
8. Ajay-T
9. Timothy-T
10. Stanley-C
11. Mario-P
12. Sri Kiran G
13. Alexandra-K

(Please correct me if there are errors found)

* We returned to play our "CCC Social Challenge Matches".
For CCCers new to this system, we shall post the format below (in the next post).
.

**chris-ccc** · 01-09-2013, 08:49 PM

.
Our "CCC Social Challenge Matches": The terms used and the schedule.

1. Terms used:

1.1 Qualification Match = Your first match.

1.2 Challenge Matches = Your later matches.

1.3 Schedule Match = Your next match, after players waiting before you have played.

2. Schedule of our Matches:

2.1 Before starting, first find a partner. For players looking for partners, please don't be shy to post in this thread asking for partners. We now have a Partnership List at the bottom of the Booking List.

2.2 If no partner is found/absent, then see chris-ccc.

2.3 With set (limited) number of participants, we should have a quick turn-over of matches. Therefore, warm-up hits are only permitted for Qualification Matches; There shall be no warm-up for Challenge Matches.

2.4 After your Qualification Matches, there should be winners and losers awaiting to play in the next scheduled match (the Challenge Match). As scheduled and when players enter onto the court, the 4 players may exchange partners if they wish (in other words only amongst the 4 winners, or only amongst the 4 losers). If a winner is to partner a loser, we don't know how to name your pair (as a winning or a losing pair).

2.5 The shuttlecock being placed under the net in the middle of the court is for the next scheduled match

2.6 Court No.10 is used for losers' Challenge Matches.

2.7 Court No.11 is used for winners' Challenge Matches.

2.8 After your match, please remember to place a shuttlecock under the net in the middle of the court for the next scheduled match.

We welcome other suggestions to help run our CCC Social Challenge Matches more exciting and more efficiently run.
.

**chris-ccc** · 01-09-2013, 08:50 PM

.
We have 5 requests

;

(1) Please bring correct change for our sessions.
Why? Sometimes, 10 CCCers bring $50 each; It causes me extra time to get change from the MSAC shop.

(2) Please place the shuttlecock under the net at the centre of the court after your match.
Why? Because the next group of players do not know where to find the shuttlecock.

(3) Please post here about your partnership, or for me to arrange for your partner.
Why? It is better to be set-and-ready about partnership before our session.

(4) Please post here to inform us if you could be arriving late.
Why? It is for your partner to know what is happening.

(5) Please allow pairs of correct partnership to commence their matches first.
Why? So that our schedule will run smoothly.
