    Just my little effort to populate the courts at Ballarat next year - they should pay me commission on all the entry fees we have caused wanting to kick our ass in B grade:D

    Yes that is correct I will be defending my Yokozuna crown during those 3 weeks in Japan. I thought I was fighting you in the first round Vien, but I just noticed you dropped down a few divisions. A sign of a truly devoted trophy hunter - doesn't matter what sport as long as you are holding trophy at the end.

    Even though we are closed for 3 weeks I don't think you will attend anyway Vien. In fact no one has seen you for a while. Your leash is now very short. It's either dinner with QA family (practically inlaws):p, shopping with the girlfriend (boss):rolleyes:, attending to every wish while she is watching TV:eek:, or you just feel guilty playing badminton more than once a week as she will get upset.:crying:

    .. I'm just resting the body, giving the joints and muscles time to recover so that by the start of trophy hunting season next year I'll be 100% and good to go :D
    .. its already paying off, both my tennis elbow and achilles tendon are easing .. so will be able to get the high and powerful jump smash happening again :)

    P.S. ... I wanted to compete against you Japan .. but unfotunately I still dont have a passport so cant leave the country :p

    "how much non-member to play?thanks. "​

    There is no membership fee at Titans, everyone pays the same fix rate set out by the jolly fat hippie dude we call FatLey.

    ..Titans is a not-profit organisation that uses the surplus after court and shuttles are payed, to fund annual club events like the Melbourne Cup day BBQ, Dinner nights, Club Lunch, traditional chocolate Easter egg hunt down Carl's pants day, so on.... and if it keeps raining like it has the club will have to subsidise swimming lesson to get everybody to badminton.

    ...and its also a club tradition that every new female player slap Ashley hard across the face on thier first night ... so please adhere to our time honoured tradition if you intend on join us :)

    We start at 7:30pm and play till 10pm. The cost is $10 per player.

    If you slap Ashley the cost is $350 (enough for me to buy a new Li Ning racket)

    If you slap Vien the cost is $8 and if you slap him hard enough and leave a red hand mark on his cheeks you can play for free. Honest :D

    hey man, Ballarat never has D grade. There are only a few kids that play C grade, most of Melb guys who fill in the A and B grades and a few Open players again mainly from Melbourne...We suggest you enter A grade :)

    Sure we'll be entering in Open grade .. so you can safely go ahead and enter A-Grade knowing we wont be in it :p

    No D grade cause its a combine grading system this year .. A/Open together and B/C together .. probably trying to simplify the running of things ... and with B/C combine and no D .. you're throwing all the trophy hunters together and letting them fight it out ..... so if you're a genuine C dont bother .. predicting it'll be Me and Anthony Vs Nemesis again ... maybe i can convince those Nemesis guys not to smash at Anthony so we can stand a chance .. should tell them its a new badminton rule mandated by the new Badminton Victoria El Presidenta Mr Pee-J :rolleyes:

    mannnn, it is sooo tough to get a trophy these days...by far TOO many trophy hunters around, but experienced ones like me and Vien will always find a way..even if its flying to some remote part of Australia to find a D grade that will accept us:D

    @Vien - HEY:mad: we beat Nemesis last Ballarat tourny, and am sure they smashed me just as much as YOU grrrr...actually I add an amendment to Badminton Vic rule on me, NO drop shot to me, and no trickshot too me, my legs are going down hill fast, should have seen me last night, sore knee too:(

    Speaking of which we should book flights soon, the earlier the cheaper right? AND DON'T TELL everyone where we are flying too, needless to say it does involve a secret Army base in the remote desert:cool:... other Trophy Hunters might pick up the scent;)

    OH and good news for me - found (stalked some ppl may say) Dina, my DENMARK mixed doubles partner, she is only a mere 17,000kms away and so some details may be needed to be worked out for this year's further trophy collection in mixed:p

    dude, are you scaring me away? seems that you are pouring cold water & trying to prevent me participate in this tournament! hey....our level is like yesterday's match(LD vs LCW)... you are a level higher than me... you will win as long as you wants to :)

    Anyway, i still have not decided whether to join bcoz of the distance & most importantly.... no one would like to partner me yet

Ash is organising Ballarat, probably organising Geelong too. Bound to be many player going/travelling so you can easy find partner and come along :)
