I'll be glad to play host during the olympics What about next year's WC? Anyone coming is more than welcome to have a game at Guys and Dolls. And the compulsory visit to Four Seasons or Fortune Cookie for roast duck!
Wonder who complained about not getting free soup from Four Seasons. hehe The olympics will be in the east london area. Driving could be a pain from Bayswater but public transport shouldn't be a problem.
The olympics will be in the wembley arena.... http://badmintonforum.com/vb/showth...ley-for-the-2012-Olympics-in-London&p=1421363
off topic: gee, we're planning for the 2012 Olympics already?!?!.. ..sounds cool & thanks for willing to be a host! you and jamesd20 can tag team together! next yr's WC, i will leave it up to the other guys if they're coming and if you guys want to hold a BC get-together.. I was thinking the 2012 OG as one of the big events, like the Beijing Olympics and the recent TC..But, looking at those players in the pics, you gotta do something to convert them to become BCers..You know we're trying to beat the current biggest BC gathering record (from this yr's TC).. ..yeah, why, dude??....you prefer to just hang somewhere else to watch the matches??.. i checked the London map, and the distance is probably a bit further from the BC gathering held in KL this yr (Puchong area). I don't know abt traffic in London but 1/2 hr drive from Wembley Arena is reasonable. See below for the map (Brent/Wembley in upper left hand side; Bayswater closer to London)..
i woulds say tube is more likely. I will come to the wc & hopefully og too. I plan to take train & tube everywhere...
Why? 1st it is crowded... 2nd Ticket price will be expensive unless if i get a Pass which is 50/50 3rd. Work to do...
