    We are an average group of 12~18 casual badminton players (aged 30+ to 60s averaging 50yrs) with skills ranging from Mid/High Beginners to Low Intermediate. Most of us play Mens or Mixed Doubles using 21pts scoring system.

    We use RSL Supreme shuttlecocks and at times new ones which we occasionally test. We tested several brands of shuttlecocks and found that we liked the current type for its consistency, durability & reasonable cost.

    We play on Sundays 3-5/4-6pm up to 2-3 courts at Dual Use Scheme (DUS) Indoor School Hall facilities (previously community or private clubs around Singapore) but focusing mainly within the north regions like Yishun, Sembawang & Woodlands, sometimes as far north-west as Bt Panjang. School Halls we go to include (but not limited to) Woodlands Ring Pri Sch, Spectra Sec Sch, Canberra Sec Sch, Northland Sec Sch, Peiying Pri Sch.
    You may lookout for these locations using OneMap.sg or StreetDirectory.com.

    An updated table "Entrances to DUS School Halls" can be found on this thread https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?posts/2794481
    ...Wed 9Dec 2020.

    Majority of our players come from the north region, with some coming from as far east as Pasir Ris and as far west as Jurong West. Our group came together with the intention of enjoying Fun & Fitness. Some of us have been together for the past 10-20yrs or more. Over the years our group have grown but have also shrunk. We are constantly looking for new HB/LI players (especially ladies) to join us, and also to help improve our overall playing skill.

    Contact/SMS/Whatsapp Simon (+65)92266929 or if overseas email me at simonklgoh@gmail.com stating your name & contact if you intend to join us for a try-out session. We collect a low rate of $8 per session (for Guest player), or $22 per month (for Members). Our current quota for members is already full. A weekly schedule of places we booked for weekend games will be published on this thread where necessary (remember to click the last page of this thread for the latest update).

    We generally keep small quantities of accessories like Racket overgrips ($5 for 3). Do ask Simon our organizer whenever you need to change your grips at our sessions.

    I charge the monthly according to calendar month. You just need to pay for June if you wish to play regularly for a month.

    I think I forgot to mention in the main post that we have an in-house practice of not charging new comers for their 1st day with us.

    thanks for info. i will be there 25 may, but since you expect a big turnout, is it better for a newcomer to be early or turn up for the later part of the session so as not to overcrowd the court ?

    Better to come early cause most of my regulars come later and play for only one hour. Look for Clement as he's usually early.

    01Jun should have more than sufficient numbers already.

    When I first invited people to join my group...
    >18May.. 1 responded from BC + 5 regulars totaling 6 players
    >25May.. 6 responded from BC + 10 regulars totaling 16 players (2 are beginners; 5 are females)

    So for 01Jun, I'm expecting 6 from BC + 8 regulars totaling 14 (maybe with 1 beginner). 12 would be an ideal number for 3hrs on a single court. Let me check with them first and then confirm numbers closer to date.

    I realize that majority of us are actually Intermediates with a handful of Mid to High Beginners.
