Badminton @ RSC Nymphenburg

I certainly need to know tonight.
So, what happened to Bangalorean?

OK, it's cancelled again now, I'm afraid.
Till next week???

Sorry, can't make it next week :-(

Sorry about last time.

I have put down my name for this week.

I am game for singles or doubles. I will definitly be there this time.

Sorry Bangalorean:

As you were the only one down I had to cancel the courts again.

Better luck next time!

Colin.

Ah come on guys, dont leave me here all alone!!!

Sorry but i will only play if there is 4 or more players ...so come on people, sign up!!!

Great, we've managed to get 4!

Maybe it's something to do with the weather forecast!

See you there at 19:15, Court 6 as normal.

Colin.

@ Mariader:

Hi there: I just wanted to check that you will both definitely be coming on Thursday, so we can confirm the court booking?

All the best,

Colin.

Cheers for the doubles and single games. Managed to sweat, will feel the pain tommorow.

Thanks for sorting it out Colin.

I am trying to register for this Thursday 04.09, but i get an error "incorrect username or password" on the badminton reservations page!!

I am logged into Toytown as you can see by this post. On the badminton signup page, I re-enter my logon credentials and the error always appears.

Do you know what is the problem there? Can someone register me for this Thursday and confirm?

Thanks,
David.

Done.

OK, so the court is booked 19:15-21:15.

We've really got the minimum we need, so everyone registered needs to be there!

See you there,

Colin.

Cheers for sorting that out Colin - See you all there, I will not be in the best of conditions though

Have you got room to squeeze in one more player?
If yes, I would like to join!

If it is acceptable, may I say that I may come, as I am really interested in the game, but not sure if will be done by this time.

@dajleeng, texins:

Yes, please do come along!

See you there?

Possibly 1 more will turn up tonight too. We'll be able to play triples

chuck my name down for thursday - anyone else playing

next time i am ordering a meal for 1 rather than 2

Hi...I would like to play... Can I join?

Sorry, can't make it this week.

If we don't have 4-5 DEFINITE sign-ups by 12:00 today, I will cancel the booking, unless someone can convince me otherwise!

Colin.

Colin,

Looks like we have a few players for badminton. Is this still going ahead.

I can sort out the payments etc

Rav

@Rav:

Well, I had proposed cancelling, which I would have to do today.

But do you want to go ahead at your own risk - You were insisting on 4 min, you've only got 3 definites?

Please let me know,

Colin.

i will take the risk, please do not cancel

I am coming tomorrow too, so here is the 4th one. I don't have a racket though, can please smb lend me or should I be able to rent it?Really need to play, fed up from sitting in front of computer!!!

I was advised there are more than enough players hence not coming.

@Ravi:

OK, you said it! Good luck!

@dajleeng:

Pity you didn't get fed up sooner, otherwise you would have signed up in time! Maybe next time?

One of these days I might return to the fold as part of my winter fitness regime! Not sure I'm able for it these days though...my old knees and hip!!

Only myself tonight, no plus 1

In this case, I am coming instead of this person at my own risk :-).

Hello,

I'm sorry for not coming today to the game but I have my reasons.

I'm only 2 weeks in Munich and don't know any German. I really wanted to join your club meeting and learn the bedmington game, therefore I posted a message almost a week ago asking if it also for completely-beginners and more but never got any reply from you. Although I didn't get any reply from you I decided to go anyway so I according to your instructions I went all the the way from Shwabing to Obersendling via the U3 but then I couldn't find any bus line 53! I asked but people didn't know.

So sorry again but it's not my fault.
I hope I'll be able to get better instructions and come next week.
Gil

It was no problem Gil. However, if it wasn't your fault then who's was it?

In my opinion you only have yourself to blame for having 1 week to prepare and still not taking the time to find out where the place is. Google Maps or similar online map sites will show you in 30 seconds or less. I printed out the map on my first visit and took it with me. Most roads are signed in Munich so it's just a case of following the map, 5 minutes walk from Obersendling U-Bahn.

Nevermind, perhaps you'll be better prepared next time?

Had a great (work-out) even with a few people. Its been a while since I played singles but I had a lot of fun.

Will post a pic of the new stuttle cock after our session

@Roccoaster - you remind me of Boris Becker, hopefully no injuries

Have a nice weekend.

Yeah you are totally right. I'm sorry. I'll be there next week. I hope it also for beginners

What a wonderful idea to organise a badminton activity like this, really enjoyed last time.

Just noticed that sauna seems to be included in the price of court reservation, what a nice combination!

I shall confirm tomorrow whether I am able to join on Thursday.

Great - we have 5 players, see you all there - I may be slightly intoxicated

Hi, I will come tomorrow. I have never really played badminton before but i notice there is another beginner, so it should be fine!

i have just noticed the reservations are closed. Is it still ok if I come?

Hi Wiz,

People with different badminton abilities play and we can either slow down or speed up the games so its really flexible. We provide free coaching too during the game.

On this occasion you can come but please try to commit before the reservation. It just helps with the reservation

Are you coming for the 7-8 or the two hour slot.

sorry i only saw the deadline today. I will make sure i sign up sooner for the next time.
I will come for the whole 2 hours.
thanks

Cool see you there

Anyone else playing badminton on Thursday...

Sorry, looks like we didn't get enough this time, so I'm cancelling now.

PS If anyone really wants to play tomorrow, please book direct: I'm sure it will be possible.

Colin.

Snap decision to join tomorrow with James - Rav will see if we can get a court organised for the 4 of us

Great games lads! Enjoyed my comeback but my body is already protesting loudly...dear knows how I'm gonna get out of bed in the morning...

At least you did not get hit by a James special back hand squash drive.

I had a great time and the court was great with less light interference.

Not a wise move to go to 2 different night clubs(lembach and Pacha) with a badminton racquat(cant spell) and have several JD and Coke

Chow

I wont be able to make it this week amongst others, this has nothing to do with the Beer...

If there is knowone signing up by 5pm then the court will be cancelled.

I will be back next week

I'll be back soon too.

What if I sign up for this week - does that mean we can play?

BTW, haven't got a racquet...
