January Badminton & Coaching

I hope you have had a good Christmas and are looking forward to playing badminton. Come out and burn off some of those holiday calories!

There will be two late starts in January:
-- on Tuesday, January 7th, our first night of play starts in the small gym at 7:30 PM with transfer to the large gym being possible at 8 PM (or sooner if we're lucky).
-- on Tuesday, January 14th, play starts in the small gym at 7:00 PM with transfer to the large gym being possible at 8 PM (or sooner if we're lucky).

Coaching: If you go to the club's website calendar (via http://madocbadminton.blogspot.com/) you will see that most play nights now show that 6 to 7 PM is available for coaching of junior players. The coaching is prearranged by the students with Henry Toews who is willing to coach adults on a prearranged basis too.  He can be contacted at 613-395-5798 and at henry.toews@yahoo.com.

Wishing you a happy new year and looking forward to seeing you on court,

Terry

Success: There's badminton tonight!

Our Tuesday and Thursday badminton schedule is back to normal because the school's backup electrical system has finally been successfully restored.

See you on court tonight at 7:00 pm.

Still no badminton

Badminton is again cancelled tonight! So much for assurances that badminton would be back to normal this week!

The maintenance people were unable to eliminate all of the problems with the back-up generator system. The entire school will be without power tonight in order to complete the repairs. I'll advise you one way or the other about the outcome in time for Thursday's badminton.

Fingers crossed,

Terry

No badminton Thurs - electrical problems not solved.

More bad news. No badminton this Thursday, Nov. 7th, because the repair parts won't arrive and be installed until this Friday. I've been assured that Badminton can definitely resume as normal next week.

See you on court on Tues. Nov. 12th.
