    Hi

    Chanced upon this site and just signed up. Wondering if there is a group of older folks who play badminton in Bt Batok, Bt Gombak, Bt Timah, Hillview, Clementi, Holland or thereabouts on Sunday morning, afternoon or evening.

    Would like to join in. I can serve and can hit the shuttle. Used to play with my siblings in the garden during my childhood days. And played a couple of times in recent times.

    Hi Notnimdab729

    Thanks for your reply, but I am living around Hillview and would prefer not to travel so far for a game on Sunday. Hopefully there will be some people who are playing in the west.

    Hi Notnimdab729

    Thanks for the info. I just called Bt Timah cc and was told that this session is for members of YEC (Youth Executive Committee) only.

    Hi JC_minton,
    If you are free on Tuesday's night, then just drop by Bt Timah cc at 1930hrs and ask for Captain Leong, I am sure he will accommodate u if u know how to play n rally. So far, I have joined them before, I have no heard of YEC before. There are two courts there and Leong's group are pretty friendly and accommodating.

    Hi

    I just realised there are so many posts on games and it takes a long time to go through them all to find those that are near where I stay. Wonder if these could be organised or searched in any quick way. Found some posts on games at Bt Gombak and Bt View School. Seems just right. Now to check on the days and time and if additional players are welcomed.
