Where to play in HK

taneepak said:
You and your friend Waiwai8 can contact Cheung Tung by email and ask to join his weekly sessions. You are right about where you live, near the China/HK border, which is a bit too far out of the way to play in Kowloon, the place where Cheung Tung's sessions are held. However, Wai should not find it too inconvenient.

For Waiwai8, that is not possible as Cheung Tung is not a member of this forum and he has confirmed he never pmed you. You must have received a pm from an imposter, so be careful. Please check your end where the purported pm really came from. Cheung Tung's email is inskysport@yahoo.comhk and his 'phone no. is 97879118. He has no pm address at all and neither can he pm you.
For PrinceTT, Cheung Tung has received your email and he knows your real name. I suggest you use your real name when you call him upon your arrival. For added security, you can verify with me by calling me at the two 'phone numbers I have given you separately.
 
Thank

Thanks for the advise.

We really, really, appreciate it. Special mention to Taneepak! Thank you for introducing your friends to us. Without you, we will never meet these wonderful people during our short stay there. Here is the picture I promised for everyone to see! See you guys next year? :D

Would you like to have a few sessions with a member of the Guandong Badminton Team, currently on a coaching assignment in Hong Kong? His name is Lau Keen, aged 24, and he is a very fast player. His schedule is tight; but if you are interested, I think I can arrange to have someone sneak you into his sessions where you can play against him and learn and share with him about badminton. Please pm me asap if you are interested, as time is short in view of your arrival Nov.6.

thank you for offering, but ive just realised that id have to devote a whole night for a badminton session. in view of the fact that ill b staying in sau kei wan wouldnt it b too far to travel to kowloon (if thats where the sessions are to be held)?

He is a member of the guandong province team (who have players such as xie xingfang and chen qi qiu in ) of course it is worth it!!!!!!!!!!

If the offers open to me, I will come?!!!!!! (j/k i have to work :mad: )

It is really an easy commute between Sau Kei Wan and Kowloon, where the peferred mode of transportation is the MTR (tube). I think it will be worth your trip, as you will get a rare chance to play against a top Chinese provincial player. Please indicate your preferred date, and I will see if it is convenient. Alternatively, would you prefer that Lau Keen fixes a date? Pls advise.

for what it's worth, im a division 1 standard uk player, that may translate to div 10 in chinese badminton standards. lets say 9 Nov? but for him not to expect too much. i think its better to pm from now on.

thanks wai

IMHO a top provincial player of guandong (assuming he is in first team) will be able to easily beat our (England) best national singles level. Even if he was in the second team I would still say he should win.

You should DEFINATELEY make time!

Have fun!

Don't be be too intimadated. He also plays with friends who are C grade, but only good friends or friends of his very good friends. This is how I am trying to get you in. Will revert on your preferred day by pm asap.
 
I want to know where i can play!!!

Hi all,

I just wanted to know where i would be able to join a group/club to play badminton in HK. I'll be here for 2 months over the Australian summer holidays. but i'm usu. working Mon to sat but off at night.

I didn't bring a racket back so I have no racket at the moment. but will be considering buying a racket early next month.

if you guys/gals can fit an extra person to play, could you please kindly SMS me or call me on 65300969. I'm living in Lai chi Kok.

Hanson:)
 
Thank you very much Mr Tan, Cheung Tung & Lau Geen

Hi Mr Tan, Mr Cheung Tung, Lau Geen and Hanson

Just wanted to say thanks for your hospitality (although unfortunately I didn't see you Mr Tan) throughout my stay in Hong Kong.

As a someone who has played in Hong Kong as a traveller, I would personally recommend contacting taneepak through private messaging (Mr Tan) who will put you in contact with Mr Cheung Tung who both knows about different clubs to play in and is a supplier of badminton goods at a very good rate.

I have attended 2 different clubs and bought 3 racquets off Mr Cheung Tung. For the better players, ask to play with Lau Geen, he's pretty sharp ;) !

Thank you all very much

Wai

Hi WaiWai8, how did your games go? I am sure Ah Tung was no match for you. What about Lau Keen? Did you test him out? Lau Keen may be a good singles player but he is an atrocious stringer. You should see the terrible things he did to his racquets which he strung himself.
Sorry about not meeting you this time. I don't now venture out from Tuen Mun, which is where I live, to go to HK island or Kowloon too often. Glad to hear you had a good time.
