Somebody remember to bring a camera to the Croxteth gig, and I'll take the footage home and... make everybody look good.
Oh, and whoever brings the shuttles will have their court fees waved. Only ONE person, before you all steam in; I think Mat has bagsied bring some anyway.

Requesting the following BCers to help in handling the logistics (esp. transportation): Manchester-based: Mark A. jamesd20 London-based: 1984AllEngland R20190 Also, please help in recommending a few decent places, afterwards, to fill our tummies..
Thanks for looking that up. I think the list on the link you've provided is for Wembley Stadium, not Wembley Arena. However, it does need checking, I don't want to turn up at Wembley Arena and be turned away. I've sent them a message to clarify this point, hopefully they will get back to be in time. Yes, no-photography during play is mainly because of the flash. I won't be using a flash, so hopefully it will be ok.
Can you make me a maybe please, because it's over a 2 hour drive for me and I'm in London the previous day watching the Olympics so I'm not sure if i'm going to want to drive to Liverpool the following day thanks.
Ew, croxeth? That's about an hour or do from me via public transport >_>' I'll still go though and get my butt kicked
I don't have a huge supply of shuttles, so I was just saying I'll have a couple of tubes with me. I doubt that will be enough, depending on how much we're going to be playing? They don't quite last like plastics Mark.....
Croxteth attendees should park up at Croxteth Sports + Wellbeing Centre, Altcross Road Liverpool L11 0BS and walk (3 mins) to the annex at Parkstile Lane, L11 0BD. James, Chris and I should be there first, so I hope one of them can bring some shuttles as well...
It seems we're barely filling the four courts for the London meet at the moment. I'm sure we can get more people to come along if we spread the word a bit more, ideally we need to almost double our current number of attendees. Com'on guys, with a bit of effort from each of us, I'm sure we can turn this into one of the best BC meets ever. Let's drum up some interest! In terms of food, there aren't too many places I can think of around Harrow leisure centre that will take, potentially up to 30 people. And being a Saturday night, it's not going to be easy reserving tables. The best bet would be to go to Edgware, there are quite a few restaurants dotted along the high street, Chinese Buffet, Italian, Nando's, Thai, Sushi restaurants etc. As well as some fast food shops. As a worse case scenario there's always KFC/McD just a few minutes drive away. I have a car, but I can't confirm if I can give anyone a lift until nearer the time. ...and as a cheeky personal plug, if anyone has a good condition, old logo, 1-piece yonex racquet they want to offload to a collector (me), please let me know and bring it along with you to the meet!
..confirmed, all stored up in my suitcase.. appreciate for confirming, R20190 & 1984AllENGLAND!.. *Re posting this in the Places to Play section,i've already posted in a few London-related threads. But i'll make a new thread anyway in there just to drum up a few more interests. ** Re the dinner get-together afterwards, any of those places is fine as long as it's not too far, can take at least more than 10 people and will stay open til late (11 or 12am). If there's a mall with a food-court type setting, that's fine as well..
Dinner afterwards?!? BAHAHAHAHA - I probably won't be vertical at 10pm after four hours of badminton! I hope somebody can drop me off straight after...
Super excited.. ..looking forward to meeting new BCers and new faces (BoogieeigooB, drew tze en, Mark A, R20190, jamesd20) as well as other well known BCers faces again (yes, you know who you are!).. ..and i'm looking fw to having a heavy British accent (like master Fidget) after i come back..
I need to do some checking but I might be able to make the London meet. I'll let you know one way or the other once I've checked my schedule, looked up train times etc etc
