Huh? Didn't know I drove a bus... Anyway, Cameron is near Lougheed Mall (north of it). So you could take skytrain from D/T. Whereabout in Richmond do you live, Smashingbird?
And then there were three. Seriously guys, we could postpone this mini BF gathering until later when we can get a decent day and court time. Cameron is abit far for folks from Richmond, Surrey and even Vancouver. Monday is not convenient for most folks and also, drop-ins cutoff might be reached when they get a big night from folks in Coquitlam and Port Moody. I have had a chat with BMS and it seems that Cameron is one of few decent drop-ins around. I think I will start going there regularly as level of plays have been pretty encouraging. Within walking distance from Skytrain station, decent lighting and wonderful matted flooring, I think that the place is growing on me. Will cut back on Renfrew drop-ins to bi-monthly just to balance things out. Anyway, why don't we just meet there and play... no expectation whatsoever.
Cameron... Whereabout is this , (beside being near lougheed mall) and are they open weekends? I may be able to drop by if it is a Sat/Sun afternoon.
Here you go: Cameron Recreation Center 9523 Cameron Street V3J 1L6 map: http://www.city.burnaby.bc.ca/cityhall/departments_planning/plnnng_sclpln_accssg_020.html -Rick
Re: Cameron... Hey Wwcbro, If you can play on Sunday afternoons, why not drop-in at Collingwood Sundays instead? Cameron usually has decent crowds on Monday nights... enough skilled players to go around and still not have to wait too long between games.
cappy75 Do you play in collingwood ? Yeah...have meant to drop by collingwood but never gotten around it. Maybe will give this sunday a shot. thnxs.
Re: Re: Cameron... What's the average wait time between games Sunday afternoons and Monday nights at Collingwood?
Collingwood Sundays runs from 12 pm - 2:30 pm .... $2 at the front desk, $3 to B-M-S ... come EARLY! -dave
And Monday nights is Cameron Community Centre 7:10 pm - 9:15 pm ... more recreational baddy there but not bad. $3.85 for drop-in and if sign-up for a 1-yr membership (think it's $5/yr, you can go to any Burnaby Comm Ctr and use their facilities) you can call up on the same day and reserve a spot, otherwise you have to drop-in. -dave
Hmmm... 2.5 hours with just 5-8 minutes wait inbetween? With such few courts how is the wait time so short? I always heard it was really busy there. Sounds worth it though.
Heh! Dave, I just got a drop-in card... that means I will be there for the long haul. Yes, Cameron Monday nights is abit erratic at times with competitive players. Paid $7 for the drop-in card (good for one year), $4 for drop-in with card, $5.50 w/o card. Usually I just drop-in.
Re: cappy75 I believe it was the second club I drop-in since my move from Edmonton. First one being Britannia. Now it's my regular drop-in on Sundays. Yes, BMS does a wonderful job organising the club. Very orderly rotations (whiteboard signups), limited drop-ins so you have to come in early to sign-up. The $3 you paid to him is to cover feather shuttles. Competition is quite good, lowest acceptable skill would probably be a high intermediate (high C, low B?). Absolutely no newbies.
What? Cameron jacked up the drop-in fee again? It was only $3.65 a few weeks ago when I went... -Rick
