I just wanna write in to tell everybody who hasn't already clued in to the fact that there's this fantastic badminton facility called the Vancouver Racquets Club. Initially, I had reservations about the club as I heard about its legendary inhospitality to newcomers and its cadre of snobs... from ex-VRC players
. However, nothing can be further from the truth.
This past summer has been the best time I have had and it's all because of the friendly people I met in the club. Thanks to its 24/7 facility access and the pool of high calibre players, I have made enormous strides in my game. If anybody has any hesitation about joining the club, take it from me... you won't after awhile
.
Here are some of the VRC-BF'er folks I want to thank for making my time at the club so enjoyable... <ok, cue the violin...>
Badrad: numero uno guy who first introduced me to the wonders of VRC. It's always a pleasure joking with badrad, it's too bad that he didn't come out for games much due to injury and work
.
Timeless: an inspiration for me (ok, I have told you many times... but that doesn't make it any less true, buddy!) and made me saw the game in a different light. He also guided me in my efforts to be the best badder I could be. It won't be the same w/o his help
.
Speed78: the most wonderful lady I have ever met. She and her husband made me feel very welcomed the first few times I dropped in at the club. It's because of them that I get to know lots of great people through them
. Saturday night-Sunday morning at VRC just doesn't feel right w/o at least a post-game supper with them
.
PeteLSD and SchrodingerCat: the Lai bros are the best pals to be around. They know almost everything there is to know about computer and badminton equipment
! I have had tons of fun playing and training with them
. OK, SchrodingerCat... no need to apologise for it
.
TTT and SmashingBird: most fun I have playing with or against them. How can I not thank them for their funny albeit long running rivalry with each other
? It's soap opera quality here, man
!
Marky: now here's another friendly face at the club. Always fun to chat with him... like hearing his agony as a family man
. If I ever feel bad about being single, I know who to talk to for cheers
. I am also happy to see him kick ass out there on the courts occasionally
.
Well, there are many others I would like to thank but I just couldn't recall their nicks on BF
. Once again, it's been great experience at the VRC. You guys are motivation enough for me to try my darnest to get back into the club
. Hope to see you soon!
Peace out
!
