Lots of places to play in the North Shore. John Braithwaite Community Centre has lots of badminton slots.. Wed at 1pm, as well as in the evenings at 8. St Anthony's School in West Van also has a good club that plays on Fri evenings at 730 and on Sun afternoons. If you are free in the daytime, you could play at Delbrook Community Centre on Tues and Thur from 1-3pm. There are lots more places such as Parkgate, North Shore Neigborhood House etc that have programs.
I noticed in the original article, there are 35 players on the waiting list for membership. Is the gym often crowded during the prime time? Is guests allowed to visit and drop-in to play? or must be accompanied by a member? If I visit, Pete can bring me in as guest? BTW, what is the drop-in fee for guests?
It depends... because it's 24/7 access, most people come with their own group and often each group drops in on specific days so it's not always busy everyday. FYI, it's $10 drop-in, but $7 if you have a guest pass. And yes, guest must be accompanied by members for the duration of his visit.

Yes (guest must be accompanied by a member) or must be accompanied by a member? Yes If I visit, Pete can bring me in as guest? Absolutely BTW, what is the drop-in fee for guests? CAD7 something (forgot the exact amount & exchange rate is USD0.90 something to CAD1.00) You forgot a few more questions: How do you pack one Master NGP along? Is Master Chris part of the tour? Are the rest of SGVBC folks also part of the tour ?
Well, if people are planning a trip to Vancouver, let me know and I will try to get something together at RichmondPro as well. Can anyone say torture session?
Then.. ..we have to rent a bus, if the rest of the SGVBC folks are coming..on the way north, we probably can swing by S.F. and pick up kwun and anyone else who wants to come along..
Everyone dress in birdie costumes and ride in a bus painted with pictures of birdies - groovvyyy . Oopppps, LSD effect . . .
