Hey guys, just wanted to know if there are any other places to play in the lower mainland. Personally i play @ Guildford Rec Center in Surrey, Thursday nights 6 30-845 and Sunday's 4- 745pm. They also have a saturday court @ 6 15- 745. Cost is bout $4.50 drop in i believe but u'd generally have to book well in advance. they have 8 courts on thursdays and about 4-8 on sundays. Any other information about other places would be very appreciated as playing 2 days a week is well, kinda weak to me. Not enough! Cheers!
Collingwood House: Sundays 12 - 2:30, $5 ($2 at the door, $3 to Karl, organizer), feather birds are included. Cameron Center: Mondays 7:15 - 9:15, $3.55 Brittania: Fridays 7 - 11 pm, I believe ... and Sat 12 - 3:30 pm, think it's $2 Renfrew: Sun/Tue 8 - 10 pm $4 (not sure), but feathers included. Pinetree (Coquitlam): 8 - 10 pm $4 Have fun! -dave
BCIT: Tuesday & Thursday from 8:00pm - 10:45pm Saturday & Sunday from 9:00am - 2:00pm $5 VRC: 24x7 $645.00 a year + $99 initiation + tax
Britannia on Fridays are only from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, and the cost is $3.50, I think. Also, if you want to play at SFU, I think you'll need a SFU athletics shoe tag. And then there's ClearOne. Drop-ins from 7:30 to 10pm in the evening (usually 3 courts), and from 8 to 11pm on Fri and Sat (4 courts). It's $6 a pop at C1. -Rick
Don't forget Bonsor in Burnaby. They are nice and organized, and limited numbers, so wait's kept short. 8 courts too! M 9-12:30 W 9am-12pm, 9-10pm Sun 9-11am, 8-10pm $4.25
never knew there were so many places to play, will have plenty of choices once i move to the burnaby area next year! too bad bonsor's mostly morning openings, nighttimes would be perfect thanks for the list guys, and anyone else out there are welcome to add more to it! cheers!

When ever i head back home in between semesters I usually go to Cambie Community Centre in Richmond to play. It's from 11:30am to 2:30pm on weekdays. Actually i'm looking forward to checking out ClearOne because i've heard/read a lot of good things about it from other posters in the forums. FYI: Coming to Vancouver for the Xmas holidays on Dec 20th. till some time after New Years. PM me if you're looking for a player or just interested in having some fresh "blood" over. I'm an intermediate/club player and social. Ciao. Howard
More... Check out the following threads: http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5343 http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11344 I wonder if I should do a demo session for Winex and SOTX racquets.
there should a BF gathering! cappy75 is coming to burnaby, now another BF member is here for the XMas holidays ... -dave
Hey guys, I doubt that I could make any BF gathering, let alone drop-in for games, until at least 2nd week of January. Plan is to leave around Boxing Day so I will miss out on the fun for sure. However, I am really looking forward to matching friendly BF user names with friendlier faces.
