Badminton @ RSC Nymphenburg

Erm... wow the weather is great today huh?

hahhahahha

the weather is nice.

I have to go to Vienna this week for work and therefore cannot play this Thursday.

So can one of you who has played many times and knows how things work organise the courts instead (that is, call RSC on Wednesday and tell them how many courts are needed and then pay for the courts when arriving to play)?

To be sure of getting the right number of courts, it helps if people sign-up, as sometimes all courts are booked and it is not possible to get an extra court at short notice on Thursday evening.

@nomis,
have fun in Vienna

dont worry, I will sort that out.

Since the weather is not so sunny outside, I feel the courts will be fully booked. So, please sign-up on time.

I really don't know if I can play. I have scraped a load of skin off my leg and it's really effecting my movement, I think its going to be a lot worse when it finally scabs over.

so it was a good party on sat?

Inflatablewoman that is not an excuse you can surely play in pain? my excuse for this week is I have to show my friend the local sights. Especially remembering the Hofbrauhaus!

see you next week

4 confirmations. So, 1 court for 2 hrs.

are we all up for playing 2hours with just 4? it's expensive and playing the same people for 2 hours... what do you think?

Sounds good to me

Continuous doubles is OK, continuous singles would be a different matter. Would be good to have one extra person to get some variety/rest & in case someone drops out on the day.

Won't be able to make it. Can barely walk at the moment, let alone run around.

So...???
is it a good idea to cancel for this week?

How about we just wait 'til the morning & decide then.

No, not really...

maybe just 1 hrs?

I really wanted to come but I catched a cold; so see you next weeks!

currently we are booked for 7-9.
as PM is interested to play only for 1hrs. so we play for 7-8 or 8-9?

You normally have to cancel the courts 24hrs before or else pay for them...so it might be a bit late unless they can get rid of them.

we have cancelled last minute before and i cannot remember paying for a court that hasn't played on.

edit: if we cannot cancel, then i play for 2 hrs,however, i would prefer just 7-8...

Four options:
1. Play 7-9 as planned
2. Cancel outright, or just cancel 8-9, right now
3. Roll up as planned, try to cancel 8-9 at the door if no extra bodies show up
4. Roll up, start playing & if folk get tired try to cancel 8-9 half-way through the 7-8 session.

No. 4 is too messy in my opinion, I'm OK with the others.
Place yer bets...

i am for:
first choice: play 7-8, cancel 8-9

we have the courts booked for 7-8.
see you guys in evening.

I seem to have signed up very early my body is crying out for exercise...

mine is not, but i will sign up with you

I'll see how I go with my leg. Signed up but may have to pull out.

fingers crossed !

is the scab picky & chewy yet!?

Yes. It itches and I am picking bits off. Although I just picked too much off and its now bleeding. oops.

yummy...

I am doing a German course on Tuesday and Thursday evenings so will miss badminton for a few weeks. Not too many weeks though, as it is already so boring that I am thinking about skipping some of the classes.

Can you organise the badminton yourselves for a few more weeks?

And do you need the shuttles that I have?

The shuttles would be handy. I bought one last week, we can always buy more as necessary but we might as well use the old ones.
And nomis, if the German's boring I'm sure planetmoni could teach you some more interesting - and useful - phrases.

should i confirm 2 courts for 2 hours?

IW, how is the leg?

I am in! Will play despite the leg still looking like a dog has chewed a big chunk out of it.

reserved 2 courts for 2 hours, 39 and 41 i think

@IW:
Maybe you have some shuttles that can be used instead?

I do indeed. Will bring my shuttles, no worries..

hey this is really late, but is it possible to come along tonight? i forgot that u have to sign up on the sheet and not just turn up

shouldn't be a problem (as 2 courts for 9 means that people can breaks if they want to)

cool, do u know how much it is to loan a racket?

About 2€ I think,

YAY Kim is coming!! yay!! sad but I cannot wait for the next 3 hours to pass so I can escape this office and do some exercise

Lets see if i can at least consistently hit the damn things...

i have some slow shuttles I had to buy because the last place I played didnt have any others.., should I bother bringing them?

Hello
I am a new member - and long ago played badminton would like to join in if possible, cant make tonight but maybe next week.
Do you meet next week as its Easter,

i remember RSC had a poster regarding their Easter Weekend opening times on the wall, will check it today but suspect that for thursday, it will be business as usual. just check the thread.
btw, welcome.

Hi. I've already sighed up for Sunday 6 to 7 pm. But, I don't know if there would be anyone else that time. If so, how can we meet them? It was told that people mostly plays doubles. Is there any kind of arrangement?

we haven't played on sundays in a long time. someone else (i think it was helen) asked about sundays.
sadly, i cannot play sundays.

in the hotter months I plan to play ultimate frisbee though... if it weren't so expensive to book a court I would suggest that we play on another day/evening.

Yip, Sundays are already full up for me. :|

Maybe everyone should join some sports verein for 50euros a year and save a shitlod that way...the one near me is 7euro everytime you go, OR 70euro a year unlimited...AND the ceiling wouldnt stop my amazingly powerful clearances!:)
