Hi Jade

I just saw your reply.

I will go shopping for footware (any Ideas?) tomorrow morning, as long as I have shoes, I am there for sure. I have a racket but you should check that someone is bringing balls.

Sorry for this late thing but my friend's wife might also join us!

I hope that is fine. With 2 courts, should be all right though.

You can try Potsdamer Platz shopping centre. There are several shoe shops there, including some that sell only sports shoes.

I have one squash ball.

Jade

If we get about the same number of people again, I will try to book another court for 90 minutes.

I was under the impression that a second court was not available. I am up for playing again, hope we get another court cos we are quite a crowd for one court.

thanks again

Mark

There is another court available, Court #4 on the next floor and from 7pm.
I will call them to take that court as well.

Jade

I just called Sport Oase, and they have another court available but at a later time. Please see details below:

@xargon thanks for compiling the list.

Just bringing this thread up as a reminder. See you all tonight!
And don't forget to bring your balls

Jade

What about badminton? Are there people still meeting to play?

Quite hard to come without them

We had another fun session last Friday! I have booked a court again for this Friday.

Hi, I am sorry that I did not make Friday, I took over a new apartment and the key hand over got delayed as the previous tenant needed more time to move.

I am not sure about this Friday as I have plans to take off. However I met a german Squah player here in Mitte, he told me he goes to a place in Pankow called Squash Centre Nord. He says the facilities are great and it costs 7 euros for as long as you want. I could not find it on the internet yet, but thought I would share the information.

speak soon

Mark

Just bringing this up with the latest list:

Court: #7 (under Laura)

2. radio_snob (2 'squash' balls)
3. marksymark (maybe)

If the list remains the same by Thursday afternoon, I will change the booking to one session (45 mins).

@radio_snob, I have sent you a PM.

Jade

Hi there,
I have been looking for some squash players, but without much success.
I am happy to join on Friday.
I will bring a racket, is there anything else that I need?
Also how much would it cost?

And Im not sure how good I am, probably not so good.
But anyway I am looking forward to knocking around for a bit, just to get it going again!
Thanks,

Hyun

cheers for the msg jdae.

i'll give this one a miss. give ur hand a break from the hard hitting
and i get to watch the batman movie. woohoo.

give the other newbies a chance to ease into it.
even if i did lose every game last week!

i'll be in for the week after though. get some practice in

-a

Looks like Batman rules this week!
So, I will call to cancel booking for this Friday, and make a booking for next week.

@brighthw
There won't be squash this week. But to answer your questions, you need to have your own sports attire including shoes with non-marking soles. There are shower facilities at the sports centre but you need to bring your own towel and toiletries. You can check out the link (in an earlier post) for prices and directions.

Jade

Who is in for squash next Friday, 29.Aug at 7pm?

1. Jade
2.

Someone is planning early Hope your wrist injury is healing fine.

1. Jade
2. xargon

Hi Jade, I would be interested in playing squash but the space sounds a little tight...one court for all those people. Would we need more squash courts?

I booked squash courts for this Friday. We've got two courts for the first session, and one court for the second. Depending on how may people will be playing, we can extend the time for the second court. I believe hardly anyone plays after 9pm.

Please add your name to the list if you would like to join.

@xargon - Doc has said my wrist would never heal, so I might as well continue to play.

Jade

I like your attitude. I follow similar philosophy when it comes to alcohol
