    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a club to drop into a for a session or two on the way through Kota Kinabalu on my travels - does anyone know of any, and how they work?

    I'm an English club-level player, looking to meet other people and have a game!

    If anyone can give me the correct/polite way to ask if I can borrow a racket in Malaysian, that would be great too!

    Thanks,
    Jonny

    Hi Ted, KK is the first place where we'll be landing in Malaysia, before heading to Indonesia for a couple of months - we'll then be going to Kuala Lumpur and Peninsular Malaysia!

    Location: Yayasan Sabah
    Tues / Thurs

    Consistent, all ex-state / ex-junior national players, Fees less than RM10 but Must contribute shuttles ad hoc during games (we take turns to contribute shuttles)

    Location: Maktab Sabah (School hall)

    Hi AezranHakim, that sounds great! I just miss you though - I'm in KK around the 18th for a few days, and possibly again towards the end of the month for flying out! Would the Mon/Weds/Fri group be open to turn up to as a stranger?

    Yeap, open to strangers too bro, you can play or train depending on whats convenient to you. Its a small group of friends which over the years are like family.

    Let me know if you need help, and yes forgot to inform you, racquet rental or borrowing is not really a tradition... but you can always look at the local shops for a decent racquet going for 100-250MYR range? Use it, and prolly sell it for a slight loss before you fly out?
