New facility : Boston Badminton Club

Schweet! A badminton club in Westborough! (~30 miles west of Downtown Boston)

Panda misses the greater Boston, what an awesome place.

 

Looks like a nice facility, with a world-class coach. And Boston is a great city. But perhaps your Californian eyes will mist less with wistful reminiscence when you read their disclaimer at bottom-right of home page:

"Please be advised that Boston Badminton will be closed for walk-ins play when there is a snow storm. It will reopen 3 hours after the snow fall ends. "​
