Hey 123Justin, you seem to know a lot about YUBC, Driftwood community centre, and ABC, do i know you? i usually go to all three, regularly.

Group training/lessons are available too on sundays from 1pm-4pm (don't know when they will start again though). 4 hardwood courts. 6 month membership is $140 (october - march). Guest is $7. Bring your own feather birds (they sell tubes for $20). I also live near St. Patrick. Send me a PM if you're interested in coming. I'll be going there tomorrow.

You can wear runners at George Brown and in general many of the clubs that uses schools/community centres for their facilities.
Parkdale CI team Hello fellow Parkdaleian?? I was also on the Parkdale team, I think it was 84' or 85' it's been so long. Back then I played singles and mixed doubles. You were gone by then. Our team didn't get very far and we were up against much stronger schools, ie. Harbord, Jarvis...I think I recall a Jennifer but I can't picture her face. I've just started getting back into the game since high school with my vintage Yonex Cab-15 and this is my first posting. My name is Harry...what's your name?

Parkdale forever... Harry... Harry... I once knew a Harry who didn't know who to marry so 20 years later he picked up his birdie only to find out it wasn't as sturdy ha ha ha It's me... Deckard... Parkdale badminton MVP 86. Just how many girlfriends did you have at Parkdale? Stay away from my future girlfriend... But seriously, the badminton coach, Mrs. Hayes (I think) was a wonderfully supportive person who taught English. Despite having an average season, she always reminded us to have fun and sportsmanship is more important than winning.
Hi torontonians! I'll be in t.o. in late dec 2009 (noticed this thread was reallly old!); I just wanted to know if anyone new of any clubs in the mid-town/down-town areas open for drop-in during the holidays. If so, i'll bring my racquets! Thanks!
