Hi to All,
A friend of mine who knows i am very fond of all kind of games , took me to park
ridge badminton facility last wendesday.I really loved this game. Although i had
hard time to find a player to play with, i really enjoyed. When they know u r
new , they r reluctant to play. I understand them cause i used to do the same
thing when i play table tennis. Actually i am not so bad at all , all i need is
do some practice. I have always time for badminton(24/7). I am looking forward
to seeing your mails if you r interested in.
thank u all, long live badminton!!!

Actually, that brings up a question of etiquette - Is it OK to always play in
your own circle of friends? Should we make an effort to play with beginners and
those new to our area/club ? Send us your thoughts.

A word of advice for newcomers to a club - sometimes you have to force the
issue. Feel free to jump in and ask to play with club members - most will not
refuse. A crowded badminton club is no place to be shy!



2. Willowbrook is closed until September.
A reminder that there is no play at Willowbrook (Villa Park, Thursdays) until we
have a new contract for fall.
