    the poles in the middle are too close to some of the courts, and spaces between the courts are also too close, which makes it dangerous. SOmetimes ppl will run to the other court coz they cant stop.

    Wow, we have a lot of "killers" around :p

    Have you have an opportunity to try out the courts yet? From those who have, the poles have not been an issue. As for court spacing, to my knowledge, again little or no grousing so far. We realise that everyone will have their opinion on the set up but we can't build the courts to their specs. We have a defined space (with pillars) and we've layed out the courts in the most efficient, and hopefully safe, manner possible. Thanks for the feedback, it's been noted.

    Empty Space

    The empty space at the front should be reserved for a bigger fitness facility :D. The existing one is too small.

    Private lessons

    Cappy 75 had asked the question of how to request a private lesson on another thread:

    To arrange private lessons you can PM me or call PRO (604-231-0999) with your contact # and the info will be passed on to the coach of your choice. Please indicate what level you're interested in. The coach will then contact you to arrange for a suitable time. You pay the coach yourself, who will settle then with PRO (we have a system set up). Rate is $38/hr.

    Hope that's all clear. Any other questions, I'm here.

    Sorry, a little error here. It should read: you pay PRO the fee, not the coach.

    I heard that we can't get the 12 sessions $14/hr deal any more. Is that true?

    I got some feedbacks from some of my friends after they played badminton at RichPro. There are some issues you guys have to address about the facility. 1) there aren't any air circulation at the far end court, can;t just have that entrance providing fresh air for the whole complex 2) the boy's washroom, the curtain is too short and not wide enough, so some water are out, and making the floor very wet and slippery, its very dangerous. ( dont want to get sued ) 3) need something to block between the shower area and to the door, just feels weird! 4) the ladies' washroom, the water pressure for the shower heads aren't strong enough, takes forever to shower, and waste lots of water too...More the pressure, shorter time to shower, save more money!!!

    To address these concerns:
    1) Circulation–we have 3 doors open to promote better circulation plus we have ground level fans going at the same time. It's a hot time of the year but these temperatures are an aberration. Once they drop I'm sure things will be more tolerable.
    2) Men's locker room–we have lengthened the curtains and put rubber matting on the floor next to the showers.
    3) Door to locker room–we have installed a stopper to limit how much the door opens. You shouldn't be able to see inside them from the outside
    4) Water pressure in Ladies' locker room–we checked them and they seem to be fine. Acceptable water pressure.

    Softhands, don't rely just on your friends' observations, why don't you come by and see for yourself. :)
