There have been a few complaints that once we have more than 32 players a few people miss 2 consecutive time slots when being rostered for games – this is because we can only place 16 on the courts at a time.
At this stage, we will not be booking any extra courts – but may have an option available at least until Christmas. Central Badminton has reserved 2 courts for 2 hours from 8 pm and it is highly unlikely they will need them – so at least one will be available for APBC to use.
Wednesday Social
Two committee members run the social night each week and most nights it is Gary and Merle – others you will have seen this year would include Kaho with assistance from some members.
The committee would like to revert to a roster system where a committee person is responsible for a given week each month and is assisted by another – but in order to do so, we require a couple of others to volunteer – and remember if you work on the desk on you do not pay the nightly fee.
Can you organise us a Social function?
Are you a good party organiser? – Can you arrange a party or other social function for us?
Ideally, we would be looking at between 30 to 40 people and a charge of no more than $40.00 per person.
You could pick a weekend date – or if you like Wednesday 22nd March when there will be no badminton as F1 preparations will close the MSAC stadium
