OK, I just rang them, and there's nothing free on Monday. I think we need to give more notice.
There was a court available on Sunday from 4-6pm, so I booked that provisionally (just so that we have a court), but if there are no takers, then we can just cancel it.
Anybody keen to play on Sunday?

I like to play on Sunday as well. My Thursday's are always clashing with something else.
The next best option for me is Monday

I probably can't do Sunday.
Unless my coursework goes really well. But I won't know until Saturday.
It's the new place that's booked, btw.

Hi all,
Signs that you may become addicted ...
* You would rather play badminton than go on a date.
* You have a badminton net set up inside your house.
* You buy Adidas products only because the logo looks like a shuttlecock.
* You have a shuttlecock as a desk decoration.
* To get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube, you hold it by the tail and do a
smashing motion with it >> You practice footwork in front of the mirror.
* When someone mentions "single", you think of badminton instead of a marital
status.
* You set the humidity level in your house not to your family comforts, but so that your shuttles won't dry out so quickly.
* Just a split-second before you greet someone you think forehand or backhand grip for the handshake.
* You are relieved when the dandruff problem you thought you were having turns out to be just feather dust. Is there any that you could related to.

Topsy, thanks for co-ordinating the event yesterday.
Aching factor -1, I feel better than before I played.
I should have used the guys approach to support my back though.

I will pick up some shuttles for the next meet up.

May be I am blind but sorry I can't find what time we are meeting on Sunday.
If somebody is kind enough to post the time and venue one more time I would appreciate it. Thanks.
P.S: Also if someone has an extra racket please bring along. The rental ones are crap.

I know it's called park club nymphenburg
and I know this is the telephone number: 0891782055
I booked the court from 4-6pm.
I did a silly thing and booked it in my surname (doh!), which I'm not publishing here, but IW and his mate Andy both know it. If everyone's forgotten, let me know and I'll pm it to you. Next time I'll book it under Toytown
Who knows the address of this new place?
EDIT - beaten to it by IW

Jan 21 2005, 1:20 pm

we haven't got any courts from 7-8 next week. Bookings open at 7am on Thursday, I rang yesterday at 8am as soon as I got up and they were all gone!
so we've only got the 3 courts from 8-9pm
I'm going to try getting a permanent booking on the two 7pm courts, I'll keep you all posted.
Topsy
Jan 22 2005, 12:14 pm
what a div I am.
I undercharged you guys by €16 for the courts last week - the lady forgot to print the receipt for me, and so I wrote down the total real quick, (which was €111,20), but I used the total Ravski usually pays per court (that was the number stuck in my brain) as the basis for working it out (23,80 = 95,20 total).
So, since Ravski got the after-the-fact discount on the courts of €16, then I'll just take that.
Otherwise I'll have to get some more cash from you guys, it works out as for a two hour person:
(27.80/6)+((27.80*3)/11)=12.20 (vs 10.50 that I charged you)
and for a one-hour person:
(27.80*3)/11=7,60 (vs 6.50 that I charged you).
I hope Ravski didn't spend all his discount yet, I think that way is a bit easier

@Topsy - I have not used the money yet. I will give you the money when we meet next.

Jan 23 2005, 5:04 pm
Don't forget -
this week (27th Feb) we only have courts from 8-9pm.
Nothing from 7-8pm. I just mention this again, cos some of you have put yourselves down for 7-9pm. I phoned an hour after the bookings open and they'd all been snapped up already
The good news is that the nice lady at the RSC has just agreed to give us
the two additional courts between 7-8pm on the Dauerbuchung starting from next week, Feb 3rd.

That means that this week is the last one-hour week. We still always have the option to cancel the courts, but they are there if we need them. We have to cancel by Wednesday, so there's no change to the registration or anything.

Sunday session was good, although there was just the 3 of us (IW + 1 & me). The courts are much better, seeing the lines is a nice thing to have. The extra traveling time is about 2 minutes. Cost was €46 with student discount for the two hours.
I would be up for another session there on Sunday next. It was the best hangover cure after 5 hours of sleep. We didn't book it for next week Topsy ..

Played badmington yesterday at Park Nymphenburg, there was only Andy, Me and Paul there in the end. The place is really nice, bit posh, but I didnt feel totally out of place (Not like the club the night before). Thanks to Andy and False for putting in some effort and making it as fun as it was. I know we were all suffering from the Sat, but it was well worth it! I would be up for doing it again, as I dont feel like I have wasted my Sunday.
