    Just like to know whether anyone is interested in a badminton get-together in KL or PJ ?

    Suggestions,
    Venue: Taman Megah, BU Community Centre (cheap rm10/hour) etc
    Date: Dunno yet, I guess weekend will be the best, maybe sat/sun morning ?
    Levels: All levels of play welcomed, it's gonna be just for fun only so please don't be too competitive :p, we still try to win of course :D.

    Any suggestions welcomed ...

    Sounds interesting.
    Will this be a weekly affair or just a "sometimes" event?

    At the moment I think it'll be just a 'one off' event depending on the response really. I guess it'll be great to get to know fellow badminton forumers :).

    Haven maybe you can take a flight back for this event :D.

    Hi all,

    Actually, I'm giving serious thought to coming back home
    soon (prob next week for about 1.5-2 weeks) coz I'm done
    for the semester and I'm off till mid-July...

    So if something is going on, count me in! :D I'll keep u
    all updated as to whether or not I'll be home...

    Thanks benben for making the effort...

    :D

    Ok here's a rough description on how to get there ...

    If you're on the LDP coming FROM PJ/Kelana Jaya direction TOWARDS One Utama, get off at the junction that takes you to One Utama Shopping Centre. At the traffic light turn left, One Utama old wing will now be on your left and the new wing on your right, you'll also pass under the One Utama overpass. Go straight on and turn right at the next traffic light. Go straight on again and take the first left. Now go towards the end of the road and you'll see the community centre on your left. It has a few basketball courts and a hall containing 4 badminton courts. Hope this helps.
