Badminton @ RSC Nymphenburg

I am there with one more person( 2 in total) on sunday.

I am playing too on Thursday so that makes six people.

I telephoned RSC and told them that we only need one court from 7pm to 9pm.

If the weather is bad again, it is possible to get to/from the sports centre by U-bahn -- Rottkreuzplatz station is only 10-12 minutes on foot from the sports centre (that's what some of us had to do last week when the trams were stopped because of the wind).

fyi, donnersberger bruecke is the same distance.

I'm really sorry, but I have to cancel.
Got loads of work on

but you are still 5 people on one court, so I guess it is OK.

who is playing this week?

So there are nine people for 7-8pm and ten for 8-9pm.

I telephoned RSC and told them that for this Thursday two courts are needed from 7-9pm.

I have not signed up myself this week. I am trying to avoid going on a work trip on Thursday. I will post again tonight when I know if I have to go or not...

I have to go to Landshut tomorrow so I cannot play.

As I usually pay for the courts before we start, can one of the other regular players please pay instead this week (there are *lots* of people playing this week so the courts will cost a total of 100 euros).

I'll volunteer to pay for the courts.
However, if anyone who's coming is a member of the RSC, could you take on the job instead please as it'd save us a few bob.

Eight people this week so I telephoned RSC and told them that we will be needing two courts this Thursday.

Hi,

I'm sorry to do this but I am feeling very ropey today so will not be able to make it tonight.
Sorry for the late notice.

Jono

who else is coming?

Lots of people. Nine for the first hour and eleven for the second hour.

That means, we will be playing on two courts for the first hour and three courts for the second hour.

Hoe does it work with shuttlecks and that? I don't have any...

just bring yourself and the racket

@pirulero
I have some shuttles.

We will be playing on two of the four courts upstairs, on the first floor. Changing rooms are also on the first floor.

Nine of us are playing at 7pm so we will be easy to spot.

I've been thinking about a possible return to badminton...it's time to fight the flab! Any other "ex-regulars" (Anemone, Asq etc) out there want to return to the scene? I see Colin is still playing and P Pitstop makes the occasional appearance...what happened to all the Indians...did they leave town? I shall aim for next week...bit rusty now though so be gentle with me!

I called RSC and told them that for this Thursday we need two courts from 7pm to 8pm and one court from 8pm to 9pm.

Everyone apart from me is signed up for 2hrs i.e. 6 people playing for the second hour - won't you still need the 2 courts? Otherwise 2 people are always hanging around waiting to play!

hmmm - tend to agree with madgibbers, tbh
i will drop out, i don't fancy sitting around for half the time
so now you are 6 on 2 courts, 5 on 1 court - enough for a good workout in the first hour and the occasional bit of taking it easy in the second

... or sitting down having a rest because two hours of constant playing is hard work.

And we are sometimes fortunate enough to have a vacant court next to us (with the lights off though) that can be used for a hit-around between games. However, in recent weeks every court has been in use all the time.

and we have had comments regarding the costs regarding one extra court...
difficult to please everyone i guess.
i am happy with whatever nomis booked.

There are six people signed up for 7-8pm and six for 8-9pm.

With six people I am not sure if one or two courts works best.

So, I called RSC and told them we need one court from 7-8pm and two courts from 8-9pm.

nomis, two courts for 2nd hour is good. penelope pitstop is taking my 7-8 spot and i would like to play from 8-9.
see you all tomorrow

I telephoned RSC and told them that we will need two courts from 7-9pm for this Thursday.

and who is playing this week?

I will play now my German lessons are over I get to do some exercise! I didn't 'add comment' but I will be playing 7-9.

cool!

I'm in. Laaa deee daaaaaaaaaaa.

I telephoned RSC and told them that for this Thursday we need one court from 7-8pm and two courts from 8-9pm.

We will be playing on the courts upstairs on the first floor -- the same ones that we always play on.

would you mind doing 2 courts for the first hour? i am not keen in sitting out in both hours as we are always too many?

Okay, I changed our booking. Now we have two courts from 7-9pm.

I forgot to sign up but I will be coming as usual.

looking forward to your company, as usual

me too coming AS USUAL

whatever.

Hello I am a new member to Toytown, I played Badminton a long time ago and really enjoyed it,
would love to come along soon, can't make the next two Thursdays, but will aim for the 29 March, do you run the club all through the year?
Janner

yes, we are playing every thursday throughout the year. on the top of the thread, you will find the sign up list. we indicate whether we are playing 1 or 2 hours in order to reserve the right number of courts.
newbies are welcome!

Anyone wanna play some hardcore singles on Sunday from 5? Might be a bit hard with the crap roof in the place but still, After starting again after 7 years without playing I now havent played for a few weeks and want to catch up...

What courts do you play on?

if i wasn't away for the weekend, i would be interested in playing on a sunday...

Tonight, we play upstairs. You played on them last time...

I'll play you at singles. Any chance you can play during the week? Say like a Monday night? Sundays are Rugby and Frizbee days, no way I can do hardcore badminton when I should be in a beer garden.

court 38-40...

p.s. this is a really long thread for badminton!!!

indeed that is quite possible... I have the memory of a fish, so don't be surprised if I have forgotten it by this evening (even if I write it down!).

Only in recent history. In the past we could get to 4 pages...

okay, since february 2006!

Why do you have polar bears in your profile? Have you been watching a lot of Lost recently?

i love polar bears ... they are fab!
no 'lost' watching for me.

Are they your favourite animal?

YES.
1. polar bear
2. wild cats, preferably (female) lions and spotted jaguars and puma

do you like plastic dolls?
