    When will MSAC be closed for CCC because of the 2009 Melbourne Grand Prix?

    .
    Greetings,

    Many players have asked: When will MSAC be closed for CCC Badminton because of the 2009 Melbourne Grand Prix?

    Answer: MSAC will be closed on Tuesday 24-Mar-2009 and will reopen on Tuesday 31-Mar-2009.

    Therefore, for our CCC Badminton sessions, we will not be there on:
    25-March-2009 Wednesday (for our Social Games), and
    29-March-2009 Sunday (for our Coaching and Training).

    Please mark your calender.

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    We hope that CCC members/players are reading our threads here

    .
    Posted an announcement in our Thursday CCC at Aqualink Box Hill thread. We shall post it here as well.

    ====== * ====== * ====== start post ====== * ====== * ======

    Greetings,

    So far, many of our Thursday night players have not joined Badminton Central yet. We hope that they are reading our thread here.

    Important notices/announcements can be made here.

    Last Thursday 12-Mar-2009, only 4 booked in, but 18 turned up. The 14 just assumed that every week is the same (which we hope it should/could be). But don't be surprised that sometimes unforeseen situations can happen.

    At our Thursday CCC at Aqualink Box Hill, we organise things this way:
    (1) If our venue is available, we shall always hold our sessions
    (2) Since we have only 3 courts, it is best for us not to exceed 24 players

    So far we have held 9 sessions here. And we have never exceeded 24 players. But we can see that our numbers are increasing gradually. Soon we will need to follow like what we do for our Wednesday CCC at MSAC, when many players are wishing to attend.

    To have a look at how we do it for our Wednesday CCC at MSAC: click here

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    CCC Badminton over the 2009 Easter Holidays

    .
    Greetings,

    Mails have been received asking about our sessions over the 2009 Easter Holidays.

    Questions:
    (1) Will CCC Social Games be played on Good Friday, 10-Apr-2009?
    (2) Will CCC CATS be conducted on Easter Sunday, 12-Apr-2009?


    Answers:
    Good News. Both venues (on Friday and Sunday) are available for us.
    Therefore, there will be no change in our sessions over this 2009 Easter Holiday break.

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    .
    Bad News. :(:(:(

    Just received a phone call from Waverley Christian College (our CCC Friday venue) saying that workers fixing some glass panels above the entrance area could not be completed. Therefore it's not safe for us to play tonight, Good Friday 10-Apr-2009.

    We need to inform all CCC players that our session tonight (Good Friday 10-Apr-2009) could not be held.

    Staff from Waverley Christian College said that they will put a notice at the gate for us.

    Again, we are hoping that our CCC players are reading our threads here at Badminton Central.

    Over the last few weeks we have been discussing about organising a social function for CCC players from all our various venues to meet. This time, it's a Karaoke Party.

    On Friday 24-Apr-2009, at supper after our Social Session at Waverley, this was proposed:

    Greetings,

    While communicating with our CCC players about our coming Karaoke Party, it was found that many CCCers did not know that we are also on Facebook.

    For CCCers who are not on our CCC Facebook, here is a message just posted:

    ====== * ====== * ====== start message ====== * ====== * ======

    RE: CCC Karaoke Party (16-May-2009)

    The response on our CCC Facebook (click here) is mainly coming from overseas, namely; Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, the USA, etc... And they couldn't attend. :eek::eek::eek:

    The response at our CCC Forum Site at Badminton Central is OK (click here).
    So far, we have 10 booked in. :):):)

    CCC Karaoke Party: Saturday 16-May-2009 (A bottle of wine for our best singer)

    .
    CCC Karaoke Party (Saturday 16-May-2009): click here

    Greetings,

    Please be informed that our CCC Karaoke Party (Saturday 16-May-2009) will be using a Karaoke System which can rate your singing compared to the song sung by the original singer/artist.

    It is based on a percentage score. If you can score 100, then you are singing very close to how the original artist had sung it.

    The restaurant told me that there will be a bottle of wine (as a prize) for our best singer.

    Let's hope this will attract more CCCers to attend. :D:D:D

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    CCC Karaoke Party: Saturday 16-May-2009 (Latest info)

    .
    Greetings,

    CCC Karaoke Party: Saturday 16-May-2009 (Latest info)

    The restaurant boss has phoned to inform me that he would instruct his kitchen to start preparing our food at 5:00pm. I have given him the link for our Karaoke thread. He would read the thread himself before instructing how much food is required to be prepared.

    This is good, because we can now keep our 'Booking In List' open until 5:00pm.

    Please be reminded that it's an AYCE (All You Can Eat) Buffet. We shall serve ourselves from a sumptuous variety of dishes from a table/sideboard.

    I have been asked to collect the money ($25 per head). Regarding our Karaoke Competition, may we have a volunteer to monitor the highest score for our singers?

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    Question: Is there an option to stop the e-mail notifications from CCC Badminton?

    .
    Hi CCCers,

    Found time to read back some previous posts, and found this question (which is a common/frequent question):
    Is there an option to stop the e-mail notifications from CCC Badminton?

    For the answer, please read this post that I have added in our thread titled - CCC Badminton: Frequently Asked Questions: click here

    ====== * ====== * ====== start post ====== * ====== * ======

    Question: How to stop getting vast number of emails from CCC at Badminton Central?

    Answer: Many CCCers found it best to bookmark our CCC Site (click here) and read our threads/posts when they find time.

    To unsubscribe from our individual CCC threads, follow the steps below:
    1. UserCP
    2. Edit Options
    3. Messaging & Notification
    4. Default Thread Subscription Mode

    If you set the 'Thread Subscription Mode' to 'Do not subscribe' or 'No email notification', then you won't be getting vast number of emails from CCC at Badminton Central.

    ====== * ====== * ====== end post ====== * ====== * ======

    But then again, please read our CCC Site (click here) when you can find time. This is because we have many other CCC activities that you might not be aware of.

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    Hi CCCers,

    This Friday, 28-Aug-2009, our CCC at Waverley session is cancelled. This is because the gym is not available for us.

    However, we managed to find another venue for this Friday, and there are 5 slots vacant:

    Anyone who could take over the organising of our Friday sessions at Waverley?

    .
    Greetings,

    I have posted this message in our thread titled - CCC Badminton: Friday Social 7-30pm-10:30pm (click here)

    ====== * ====== * ====== start message ====== * ====== * ======

    Greetings,

    Last Friday, 09-Oct-2009, was our 170th Friday CCC Session at Waverley Christian College. Our 1st Friday session started on 28-Apr-2006. We have played at WCC on 170 out of the 180 Fridays. The 10 times we did not play were because the gym was not available for us.

    For me, travelling across Melbourne (from north-west to south-east) to organise our sessions there has become tiring. I would wish to take a break, starting from the beginning of November 2009. I hope to take a break over the coming Spring/Summer months.

    Is there anyone who could take over the organising of our Friday sessions at Waverley?

    Please respond if interested. The college needs to know who will take over the responsibility for the conditions/keys/security codes of the gym.

    We shall suspend our CCC sessions at Aqualink Box Hill until further notice

    .
    Greetings,

    We have posted this message in our thread titled - CCC Badminton: Thursday Social Games Night at Aqualink Box Hill (click here)

    ====== * ====== * ====== start message ====== * ====== * ======

    Hi CCCers,

    A short report for our CCC at Aqualink Box Hill on Thursday 15-Oct-2009.

    We had 14 players attending.

    We had a meeting to discuss about our future sessions. One suggestion is to have our players to be committed to a term of sessions, say for 3 months. But only 2 are wishing to be committed.

    Therefore, we shall now suspend our CCC sessions at Aqualink Box Hill until further notice.

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    ====== * ====== * ====== end message ====== * ====== * ======

    On Thursday 15-Oct-2009, it was our 40th Thursday CCC Session at Aqualink Box Hill. Our 1st session started on 08-Jan-2009. We have played at ABH on 40 out of the 41 Thursdays.

    The only Thursday we did not play was because it was too hot (on Thursday 29-Jan-2009), when the temperature reached 44.4 degree C at 4.44pm (click here).

    When our Thursday CCC sessions at Aqualink Box Hill resume, we shall inform you (as usual) via our CCC threads at Badminton Central.

    Cheers... chris-ccc
