Hey folks. As per 15Love and cappy75's suggestion of a BF gathering in Vancouver, I am wondering if there would be enough interest here to round up a bunch of us and rent a court or two to play at ClearOne on Mon, March 1, or Wed, March 3 in the evening? If we can muster 6 people per court, then the cost would work out to be $7.5 per person for 3 hours' worth of baddy. (It'll go down to about $6 if we have 8 people per court, although we'd only be 1/2 on 1/2 off). If we can gather 12 to 16 people, then we can book two courts and have a bit more variety in the games. When I checked with ClearOne last night, both evenings were open from 7 to 10. But we'd probably want to act quickly on this if we are gonna do it. -Rick
I am so there! BTW, is it possible to include another one near the end of March? LB might be coming into town during that week.
I'm getting old, so I don't think I can handle playing on both days. Let's just go with whichever day that is more convenient for the majority of the people? I'm gonna try to book the courts by this weekend. -Rick
I don't mind one at near end of March, that would actually be better than beginning of March..for me that is..
Wow... thnx for the "reservation" for me. Ur ppl are just too nice... Actually, don't let my schedule bother too many ppl, as for now, my plan might shift to be another 2 weeks later, if I do come... Just too many uncertainties...
LB, if you do come, I m sure Traum will organized a bf meet just for you..and the others who likes to play badminton..hahah...I m sure a lot of us here would like to meet another fellow bfer..
Thnx for my VAN buddies... Currently, still discussing with kwun and cappy75 to see either CA or VAN should be a better choice for my up-coming trip (sorry, could not do both this time). My decision will come out no later than next weekend, as the airplane ticket will be sky rocked afterward. I will post up my final schedule, destination when I finally throw in $$$. Of course, I will update my "Visit to CA" thread as well. Either way, I am sure I will enjoy a wonderful trip, and hopefully get some good games going (let me figure out how to carry my equipment bags, and train HARDER first...)
If your schedule looks like late March/early April, there is the opportunity for the Collingwood Open House 2004 April 4th (Vancouver BC) http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13754
Hmm... so far we only have the following people: either day: Traum wood22chuck cappy75 Mon, March 1 SmashingBird Mon, March 3 Sparky Joo Bong, are you in for Mon, March 1 or Wed, March 3? If possible, I'd like to book the court some time this weekend. Please reply to this thread if you're interested in coming? -Rick
Sorry, seems I won't be able to make it, as my plan is for 4/9. I am going to make up my final decision no later than this wkend. Thanks for the notice.
Hey folks. Wed, March 3 at ClearOne is out. All the decent courts are already booked. Mon, March 1 is still wide open. However, with only me, wood22chuck, cappy, and SmashingBird showing interest, should we just head to Cameron as usual and save a few bucks? -Rick
I'm okay with that, but if SmashingBird lives all the way out in Richmond, that's going to be QUITE a drive -dave
Where is Cameron?..how far away is it?...maybe Traum will come to my house and pick me up..HAHAHAH...or cappy can drive a bus here and i will wait at the bus stop
