Hi, I am visiting singapore in March, around mar 15 to mar 26 and was wondering about playing badminton there. Will be staying around east side (bedok). How does badminton work in Singapore? I was reading the forums and it seems that its mostly private groups, so I dunno if can just walk up to a group and ask if can join. My level is intermediate, i play in nz around 3 times a week. I am planning to buy shoes and racket when i am in singapore.
welcome to singapore nearest place u can go is Simei , East point shopping centre to buy your badminton stuff. all these group is not private , just add your name to the playing list if u r interested. lastly if u do not know how to go , i can guide u , or take a cab.
Near to Simei mrt there is a "Smash" shop on the 2nd floor for you to shop for your shoes and rackets. You bringing some kiwi fruits?
Thanks for the info guys, will have a look at the smash shop. Had a look at http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...=76703&page=41 will put myself down for waiting list Date/Day: 17th March '10 Wednesday Location: Siglap CC Court: 1 (6.30pm-9.30pm) 3Hrs Cost: $5 Actually I used to stay in Singapore, but then moved to NZ. But only discovered badminton when in NZ, so never played baddy in Spore before. Standard must be quite high. Oh sorry but its summer here now, kiwi fruit season is over, if not I will bring some back.
Hmmm. Is it just me? Or the tread that you posted are located in the east and siiglap cc is located in the west?? Careful now. You dont want to waste on transportation money on your 1st game!!! XD
I thought Siglap CC was in Bedok? Oh in my previous post when I said 'Standard must be quite high', i dont mean my standard. I meant since baddy is more popular in singapore, players there in general are probably much better than players in nz. So it will be interesting to play in Singapore, getting a bit nervous now.
you are included. Date/Day: 17th March '10 Wednesday Location: Siglap CC Court: 1 (6.30pm-9.30pm) 3Hrs Cost: $5
I will have a business trip to Singapore from 25~28 April and would like to buy some Yonex stuff such as apparels, shuttle cocks, grips, supporters, etc. Please kindly advise me shops where I should go to. I will stay at: Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel 392 Havelock Road Singapore 169663 Singapore It's great if the shops are nearby but won't matter if they are a bit far away. Many thanks.
