frankieboy Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi peeps, Anyone go to ponds forge and want to meet up one evening for a game of badmington? We can share the cost. (am average player, not league level [dont think], but do have hand to eye co-ordination if you know what i mean!) ) Male or female (go on prove me wrong about women!) ;0) just for fun (and fitness) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafner100 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hey, I'm up for a game...not played for a while but used to be reasonable...will be very rusty (and unfit) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinac Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'd be interested in a regular social/semi-serious game at Pond's Forge or Concorde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinac Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Tried to PM back but am not at required number of posts yet so was blocked. Will be on holday for 2 weeks in August so was thinking of starting in September at Pond's Forge - How about once a fortnight on Tuesday evenings? It would be good if we could interest more people and maybe book more than one court so we could swap around. I have played mixed games socially before and I think it works best when you can play people of same and different abilities - its more interesting that way. What do you think? PS haven't checked prices/booking arrangements at Pond's Forge yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankieboy Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 hi guys, thanks for replies. as I am on hol end of august aswell how about penciling in for 1st tues in sept - 7th. that way we have something solid to aim for and hopefully it isnt to far away. Should give my shoulder some time to heal up a bit to. If you want a game before that fafner100 (or you to spinac) we could pencil in for say tues in two weeks? 10 august. As far as I remember is £7.00 for court £2 deposit for raquet if you need (have some shuttles + think you get one with the Raquet/court) dont finish work till 6.30 so would need to be 7pm+ How does that suit you guys? when we've sorted a date + time I'll book a court. (better than turning up and finding they're full) ps fafner100, unfortunatley had to sell bike when I moved to sheffield. Was chop. Yam XS750 engine, rear end cut and hardtailed, extended front end straight through exhausts and ape hanger bars. got stuck in nightmare two weeks ago trying to get from one side of meadowhall to other (as I am no mall freak I had no idea!!) 1 1/2 hours I was sat there! seriously, almost got out and left the car there. (is convertable and had stereo full blast but was still sooooo frustrating especially when you are used to slipping down the side of stupid people in cars!! )It really hit home then. I have started looking for another bike now. Wouldn't mind another Triumph or maybe even try a Harley. (anyone got a spare in the shed?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafner100 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hey Frankieboy 10 August would suit me for a game. I'm on hol end of Aug for two weeks also. 7 / 7.30pm would be fine at Ponds Forge. BTW I ride a Honda FVR800Fi....not your cup of tea by the sounds of it...but I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinac Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 cool - trial game on 7th sep sound's great. I haven't played for a while but I'm sure I can still play a half decent game. I'm working on a website to put players in touch with event organisers which hopefully will provide a way for mixed groups to play sport and socialise. I'm thinking of badminton and other sports. I have seen other threads where someone tries to get something going but it really takes someone to make a decision and go for it. So let's make this work. Won't be able to swap bike talk with you though as I only ever had a 100cc runabout. Managed to get airborne once though on a raised mini-roundabout that used to be a painted circle. (Landed upright). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
