Details

For those of you who are getting to GGBC on your own, please be at GGBC at 1PM on Sunday. Note that we are going to the GGBC in _Emeryville_, not the original one in Menlo Park. GGBC is at 4230 Hubbard Street in Emeryville.
Directions: From Santa Rosa south on 101 to San Rafael, Across Richmond Bridge on 580 south to just past Berkeley. Get off on Powell and go east on Powell to Hollis then south on Hollis to Park
For those of you who would like to meet and carpool, please be at Piner at 11:45 Sunday morning. I'll provide maps to drivers. Also note that the toll home over the Richmond bridge is $4 these days.
The plan at GGBC is to spend a while warming up then play our team lineup against theirs, with team totals determining the winner. So like our high-school league matches, all the games are equally important. Most of you will get at in at least two matches- more if you like. We'll be playing singles and doubles. I have initial lineup but we can finalize that at GGBC.
We should be done by about 5PM. At that point you'll have the choice of visiting one of the many great restaurants in Berkeley area or just coming on home.
CLUB SHIRTS - I have a supply of Santa Rosa Badminton Club shirts. These are very nice shirts and I hope to see us all wearing the same shirts to provide a strong SRBC image. I'll bring shirts with me. The shirts cost $25 each. You are encouraged to buy one but you don't have to: if you don't want to buy one I'll loan you one for the day ( please return it when we are done). Please bring $$
FEE- we are getting a very good deal, about half their usual dropin fee. Please bring $4 each to cover court costs.
FOOD- would suggest a good breakfast and bring snacks. It shouldn't be too hot but I understand that it can get quite humid at GGBC, so bring water/gatorade/etc. Also a dry set of clothes for the trip home is suggested. After the match I can suggest the following places to eat before heading home:
