Badminton anyone???

[indiepanda]

Oh dear, should have just come along on spec... Oh well, see you next time hopefully :-)

[MrNick]

i just played a game of singles with the badminton pro that was at the harris girls school - he wanted to see my skill level for tightening the racquet strings. we arent even playing the same game - i can barely move my forearm after 15 minutes with him. Are we playing anywhere on weekdays this week?

[karter]

Nick, that is great. Those guys on Tuesday were very good but we are only beginners still but i felt that we had improved our game quite alot (especially Mogs and those fast blasts to the middle). As discussed, you,me, Mogs, Andrew and maybe Simon is up for Thursday and i have someone else that may come too. Someone has to book Thursday though???

[indiepanda]

Well, I have bought a new racquet now and my knee is healed so no more excuses... well, save the one I am unlikely to be home in time to play during the week. Hopefully you'll be playing next Saturday?

[indiepanda]

Unfortunatly I'm not available this week as I am going Scuba Diving - thanks to another forumite.

But would be up for a game mid week - I like the courts at Camberwell as they have a car park too. Happy to organise just let me know if you can make the following dates Thursday 20th 7pm onwards, Friday 21st 7pm onwards or Saturday 22 but have to leave at 11:30 so an earlier the better start for me and I can do lifts

Camberwell is all booked for Thursday 20th Evening 8pm - 9pm - Everyone Welcome

Scuba diving thanks to another forumite? Sounds good, maybe you should start a thread on Scuba diving, Mogs..

[Mogs]

Karter,

I only plan to do this once just in case I'm crap

[Mogs]

Anyway back on the thread - Hands up if you can make Thursday 20th 8pm - 9pm - might even go for a drink afterwards

[karter]

and go for a drink after?... i have never quite understood people sweating their butts off, a bit like Aced outs gang on the other thread running around and around Peckham Rye, East dulwich Road, up and down LL and Barry Road and then undoing it all by having a piss up in the clock house. :)-D

[TillieTrotter]

I'd like to have a game of badminton....not so great but fairly enthusiastic....would I be welcome?

[MrNick]

without a doubt, we have been having pretty regular games saturday mornings in camberwell. we generally play doubles, etc and its a little less intense than the midweek singles sessions weve been doing. I personally think we should make the move to the harris girls school gym as its the same price and the courts are significantly nicer. midweek camberwell sessions are also not really doable for me.

[karter]

yes my hand is up for this. Myself, welshboy Dan and Mogs are confirmed for this Thursday at Camberwell Leisure Centre. Will Dex, can you make this? If anybody else is interested just PM Mogs or myself or post here. Thanks

[Mogs]

Look forward to seeing you all

[will dex]

cheers Karter but i am required to part take in some serious drinking that night with a work suppliers

cheers

Will

[MrNick]

and i unfortunately cannot due the evening weekdays in camberwell - the times just don't correlate for me when i get home, etc. Thanks for the offer and i hope we still get in some weekend sessions.

Great fun last night Karter can you let me know when you available again and I will arrange the court

[karter]

Welshboy wants to play regularly too Mogs but on Monday, Tuesday or Fridays from 7ish would be better too if that works for you. We all played well last night (apart from me of course), chest infection, any excuse.:-S

[will dex]

Will

[karter]

Hey Will, sounds like you had another good night out with your suppliers, boy you must be a good customer, Tuesday is fine with me too, for 7pm? That makes for of us, let us confirm later though.

[will dex]

ahh, cant do Tuesday now - apols

Will

[Mogs]

No worries couldn't get a court anyway - I have quite a busy week this week but if anyone is up for a game on Saturday let me know and I will look into booking a court, if there are more than four I will try and book for a couple of hours.

Let me know

[karter]

we missed out at Harris on Tuesday, something came up, we have a court booked for 11am on Saturday, 3 of us so far so if anyone else would like to come just let us know, thanks.

[Mogs]

Okay all booked for Saturday unfortunately it's 9am - 10am.

Anyone else mad enough to be up at that time come along - PM me if you want a lift
