Hello, just arrived in Dakar, Senegal and already found a place to play badminton - not the best of venues, but better than nothing. Now, I am looking for a good player to give me a good workout ... Any players out there? Andy
Still looking for some good players in Dakar, Senegal Hello we have some decent courts to play. All I am missing is some good players for serious training and games.
Just making sure this post keeps alive - I am still looking for players in Dakar, Senegal. I know you are out there somewhere!
I'm not giving up ... c'mon I'm sure that there is some good player out there relocating to Dakar soon ... !
available to play in Dakar ! Yes Andy, here I am ! I did SMS you but no reply :-( Maybe you're gone ?? If you left Dakar, can you help me to find a place to play ? And maybe you kept Marie's number ? Many thanks for your help, Jaïnil 778194904
Hello Jainil, I indeed left Dakar already 1 year ago and went back to Europe. I am not sure if Marie is still there - however, I am still in contact with the initiator of the Badminton club in Dakar and they are still playing. So, please do contact Khalil and say hi from Andy. Good luck and enjoy! khalil NDIAYE <kalilndiaye@yahoo.fr>
Oh COOOL !! Merci Andy ! I'm gonna email Khalil straight away. And will surely convey your greetings ) In addition, I got the Ouakam French Military Compound over the phone and they also propose lots of activities, including badminton ! Will check that out (in September). Many thanks again and take care Andy, J
Excellent, sounds you are finding your way around. The French Military Compound is now also playing with the Dakar group ... so, you will find the same people. I am not sure anymore when Khalils group is playing, but try to go on Sunday at 12:00 to the sports hall of the American School on the Corniche. Ciao Andy
Hello Imran, I also recently arrived (end of Aug 2016) to Dakar from Canada. I played a few years in a recreational club and am an intermediate player, maybe less if compared to serious players. I would also like to look into playing badminton a couple of times per week - mostly for the exercise and socializing. My shipment arrives in perhaps 5-6 weeks so no rackets until then. Have you heard of any clubs in existence? Ron
i have just arrived. we will find some good place to play. i would also prefer to play 2 to 3 days in week or fitness. dont worry i have 2 rackets and few shuttle. we can enjoy.
Hi Imran. I'll ask some of the people who have been here longer than me if they know of any clubs or facilities. Will let you know whatever feedback I get. Ron
Hi Imran, I've been sidetracked the past week and haven't had a chance to catch up with a couple of people that have been here longer. I'll let you know if I found out any good leads. Cheers. Ron
