    Practise? That's music to my ears... any time any where! :D Sometimes Fridays are quite busy until late. Saturday or Sunday might be better. But any one of those 3 days works for me so we'll go with what works for you. Just let me know.

    I can ask Darryl... but he might be kinda bored :p.

    Didn't your trip to the 2003 SC provide you with enough air miles to fly a few hundred miles north? :D

    Here's the info so far....

    The gf has ok'd the trip.
    Now it's a matter of getting the time off and finding a relatively cheap hotel.

    "If" we go, we will be coming down Saturday, attending the conference during the day, doin some shoppin in the afternoon and then playin some baddy at night and then leave Sunday.

    I will find out today if I can get the time off.

    You guys have 1 1/2 weeks to train before I come down :D

    Geez what time would you have to leave in order to arrive in time for the conference on the same day?? Isn't it a really long drive?

    If you can't stay at the same place you stayed last time then let me know, I might be able to suggest a "relatively cheap hotel" closer to the club, conference, etc.

    1 1/2 weeks! I'd say that's about 4 years too short for me! ;) *LOL*

    It's not that far....4hrs 1/2 about given that we have good weather.
    We leave early Saturday, since the Conference is from 11-5pm...
    we aren't going for the whole thing so it's all good...

    Itinerary:

    Leave 8am
    Arrive 12:30-1pm
    Visit the conference 1:30-3pm
    Go shopping 3pm-6pm
    Go eat 6pm-7pm
    Play badminton All night

    Leave Sunday

    Whatever we don't see on Saturday at the conference, we can see Sunday.
    Lotsa time :D

    I'll let you know 'bout the hotel.

    Calvin,
    I don't see why not as you are not a junior (U19) since evening play are prioritize for adult players...

    Keep an eye on when ppl will be meeting at the VRC as you will need a member to sign you in.

    Cheers.

    Pete LSD wanted me to go this sataurday... but after this week's play I dun think I should cuz I'd drag down the level of play.

    Wasn't good to start with... and the 2 months off didn't help one bit. hehe

    Jason,

    just come out anyway. There are people who are around your level. I am willing to practise with you late in the evening too.

    for a backhand technique -
    1. get a number of students.
    2. line them up side by side, facing away from you.
    3. if you are right handed, go from left to right, and firmly and quickly place the back of your racquet hand onto the side of the head of each student. a proper sound will be a crisp pop followed immediately by an "ouch".
    4. repeat and enjoy.
    5. after several months of doing this exercise, your backhand will become sufficient strong enough to try with a racquet!
    6. by this time you may need to replace the students. fresh student supplies can be ample depending on the school district.

    btw: for left handed players do the mirror... like - duh!

    Ditto that! :D

    Oh the damage I can inflict with a racquet! :D ... oh wait you meant badminton... :p

    Seriously though, I'll be studying everyone's moves again very closely. I don't get too many good opportunities like this to learn off others! :)

    Just to confirm again for Saturday - April 26

    So everyone is still on for this Saturday? I'll try to get there as soon as possible after dinner with a friend - likely around 8:30 or 8:45.

    See you all then!

    Here's what you do:
    Tomorrow morning, bright and early, catch your boss in his office. Close the door, and leaning over his desk look him straight in the eyes and tell him you are going to Vancouver this Saturday. The reason you see is there is this real Bad Old Fellow who has called his boss a wimp! You being the ever loyal employee won't allow this sort of thing to get out of hand, and you MUST go to Vancouver to avenge the wrongs mouthed off about your elustrious boss. YOU are defending his honor...

    And after he throws you out of the office, hey - drive on down and party in Vancouver!

    Don't see why not, just need to coordinate with the other members so there is coverage for sign in.
