Hey,

In an attempt to get some good negative calories in with all the bad at LAN I plan on going to play badminton for at least an hour some time Friday afternoon in a leisure centre that is 1.5miles from the racecourse.

Vibs has stated an interest so am ideally looking for 2 more ppl that want to come. I'm going to try and book a court for Friday tomorrow, not contacted them yet so don't know for sure if that is possible.


Does anyone else want in? I have one spare racket which Vibs may have dibs on depending if has found his. I don't mind anyone coming and if we get lots of interested parties I'll book more courts. Only thing I would say is I play at a reasonable standard, I'm not great but will be taking it mildly seriously as it is an attempt to aid the weight loss. So please don't post unless you are wanting to play for at least a whole hour.


2 Stone down since Jan 19th and don't want to get caught out now with a LAN doing what they normally do to me :p

Yeah, the exercise thing sort of fell down. I'm going for the sugar high stay awake method for lan.

Not sure about whether I'd want to find a random court in newbury when I've specifically gone there for the lan, not to go camping and play badminton.

Can't we just play badminton out on the racecourse :p

I'm tempted to just throw my kit in the car and have a go anyway... can always sit out if my legs do start getting REALLY bad

I'll try and remember to bring my racket along. If i dont end up using it, someone else can if they like.

I have booked a court at 15:45. As mentioned I have one spare racket that I can lend, if Wol is able to bring his that'd be awesome.

Also mr bloke, if it is Vibs, Trax yourself and I we can start with doubles and see how you get on. If you start to hurt we can drop to playing rotating winner stays on singles with whoever isn't broken :D.

nah. we're not having it this time.

If bloke starts to die, I dont mind jumping in for a bit. or if we have another 1, to do 1 doubles / 1 singles.

2vs1 is also an option is one person is somewhat better.

The Singles player serves into a singles court but then plays into a doubles court - the doubles pair serve into a doubles court but then play into a singles court.

Really? Is it too late to cancel LAN then? :/

p.s. If anyone has a projector I can bring my PS3 (assuming it hooks up to said projector) + RB3 + Guitar + Bass + Drums + Mic
