Dear All
The badminton kakis at Gombak had existed since 2011.
We played on Thursdays, then shifted to every Tuesdays, 10.00am to 12.00noon at Bukit Gombak Indoor stadium.
We are celebrating our 4th Anniversary on 21 April 2015 (Tuesday) after our regular games.
We accept all players of all skills levels. Just come attired in non-marking shoes and comfortable exercise attire. We provide shuttlecocks and rackets (if you don’t have one).
If you’d like to join us on this day (and all Tuesdays), please indicate your interest here so that we can update you further..
Cheers

Dear All
We will also be having Awards Ceremony for the following:
1. Most “Attentive” Player – {erm.. meaning the one who is attends most of the sessions}
2. Best “Dressed” Player – 2 awards
3. Most “Valuable” Player

Come and be surprised – you may also win an “Award” just for being there :)
For those without transport to the restaurant, just make your way to Gombak MRT, walk to the indoor stadium and find us at courts 2 or 3. Get there by about 12.45pm.
We will arrange for those who drives to fetch everyone to the restaurant – but please register under Pat’s blog so that we know who needs transport.
See you on 3rd April.
Cheers

Hi All.. the badminton at Bukit Gombak indoor stadium is celebrating its 1-year anniversary this month..
Thanks to all loyal, persistent and consistent participants, we have a regular group of about 10 regular and some irregular players.
Singapore is small and Bukit Gombak stadium is situated just at the door-step of Bukit Gombak MRT station, we hope that more badminton enthusiasts would come and join us..
The skills of the players varies – so come and look-see.
Just bring yourself, proper shoes and attire – with or without rackets, shuttlecocks provided – and join us for a sweaty sessions. In fact, the indoor stadium can be quite a sauna.. :)
If you are not keen to play, you can still come and join us for off-courts chit chat and lunch/coffee around 12 noon – usually at the food centres around the area.
(Unless Mr. Johnny Pow would like to organise exotic places like Bollywood Organic Vegetable gardens again..)
Hope to see you.
Cheers

Hi All.. 2012 is endng in awhile.. and 2013 is coming in awhile… The group at Bukit Gombak is thinking of booking the indoor stadium – all 6 courts, on a fixed day and time- (10am to 12nn on Thursday)- for SHC members in the coming year. Currently the badminton group books 3 hrs each time,but we also use the table-tennis for free. The group consists of members who comes from all over the island – (model SHC members: Frisna who comes from the EAST; James Tan from CENTRAL, Bira from IN-Between, Primsose from Bt Gombak, Amy/Yoon Chin from Clementi and so on.. so on,,,).We also welcome anyone who drop-in, on annual leave, on grandchildren leave.. If any SHC member is thinking of adopting 2013 Resolution  – Stay Healthy, Don’t Worry, Be Happy – we would like to hear from you. The other courts can be used for line-dance, social dance, etc etc…(if badminton is not your game). We hope to make the Games Day on Thursdays a reality (also a consistent SHC meeting day). We need your support. Any Comments … inez                       

Hi ALL.. the last two sessions of Badminton for 2012 at Bukit Gombak indoor stadium falls on 20th and 27th December (Thursdays) from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. at court 6. It had been a wonderful year of sweat and more sweat, so come and join us if you have not experienced the group. The group of regulars and irregulars has made Thursday morning workout a routine that I always look forward to attend.  Many thanks to everyone who volunteers with the bookings.. Many thanks to everyone who willingly pays (no questions asked) whenever we collect monies to defray the costs.. Many thanks to everyone who buys shuttlecocks or contributes them without asking for payments..Many thanks to everyone who made it possible because of YOUR ATTENDANCE.. Have a blessed Christmas and we look forward to a better 2013. CHEERS

Hi all.. the badminton "kakis" at the above venue is stabilizing – around 12 to 14 peoples each time. The booking is from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. Thanks to all who contribute time, monies and shuttlecocks. The objective is to "sweat & sauna" so regardless of your skills & abilities, just come and enjoy the fun and fellowship (we also have lunch at the coffee shop across the road, or anywhere that anyone may suggest). Bookings have been made for 26th July and 2nd August. We will take a break to celebrate National Day – 9th August (Thursday). Cheers

Hi all.. the bookings for the courts at Bukit Gombak stadium is rather erratic – sometimes Thursdays, sometimes Fridays – because we can’t predict the enthusiasm of the public who sometimes choped/booked the courts before we do .. (sigh..) So, for next week, booking is on 18th May, Friday and then the following week, it will be Thursday, 24th May, at the same time of 10.00am to 11.00am. The regular group will be reminded via SMS but all are welcome to join. Cheers

For the last two Sunday, 2 hours were booked at Safra Mount Faber and Bukit Merah CC but nobody turn up. Yesterday I did not book at all as I felt I am banging my head on the wall, instead I joined another group from 5:30-5:30pm and had a pretty good workout.

The thought was in my mind to let it go but I still have the belief that there are still many of us out there who really need the exercise. Anyone can do it whether you a a novice or a good player, take it like going for a brisk walk.

This Sunday May 6, 2012 I booked for an hour from 12.00-1,00pm

Venue: Safra Mount Faber.
