Aileen's memorial tournament was a great success! Thanks to every who participated and contributed to making it such a great event! A special thanks goes out to Ash and his local Hungry Howie Pizzeria on Campbell and Fort Lowell. The picture section has been updated. If you have pictures you want posted or want high-res copy of any of pictures (or the 200 more that I have), feel free to send me an email. Also, it is not too late to get shirts or donate to Aileen's fund directly. Let me know if you're interested.

Also, the Fall SmashBash is coming up (10/17). Check the tournament section for more details.

What: Aileen Primero Memorial Tournament
When: Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Where: Student Recreation Center South Gym

Also, we have new t-shirts on sale for this tournament! Again, proceeds will go to Aileen's scholarship, so get styling for a good cause! Below are the designs. The shirts are $10 for students and $12 for everyone else. Drop us a line if you want to reserve a certain size.

The hours for the fall semester are finalized: Mondays 8-10pm (ONE side), Fridays 6-8pm (BOTH sides) and 8-9pm (ONE side). These hours will take effect 8/28. Note that we do not have practice on Monday 8/24 due to WildCat Night. Please stick to schedule if you come to practice and be courteous to others sharing the courts. Also, please do NOT set up extra courts without consent from the staff. Thank you all for your cooperation, and I look forward to seeing everyone at the start of the new semester!

Hi everyone! I've heard from Guy Chadwick up in Phoenix, and he's actually planning the Fall SmashBash for September 19th (save that date until you hear otherwise). So as not to conflict with this tournament, we're moving the Aileen Primero Memorial Tournament (see last entry) to, tentatively, October 17th. Below, of course, is the obligatory poll, so let us know if you can make this new date!

Poll closed

We have a tentative date (9/12) for our next tournament. All the proceeds to this tournament will go to the Aileen Primero Endowment Scholarship. Aileen was a member of our club who passed away in a traffic accident when a vehicle lost control and ran into her. Her sorority is trying to set up a memorial fund to give out as scholarships, and we're hoping to be able to help them towards that end. For a video tribute to Aileen from her friends, go here.

Just a reminder that this coming Friday through Sunday (7/10 - 7/12), the Rec Center will NOT be available due to a summer camp. This coming week, we will only have Monday (7-10pm). Also, for those who come on Sundays, please keep in mind that the Rec will not open until 12pm from today on, and that we will NOT have reserved court space, so please be courteous to other gym participants.

Hello all! Since only a handful of Tucson folks were able to make a showing at the recent Grand Canyon State Games, there won't be a pictures section for that. Also, Krishna Ramasubramanian, our good friend in Phoenix, will be leaving for California soon, so we want to wish him the best of luck in the future.

 


Krishna (center) will be leaving for greener pastures, and we wish him well

The fall semester is quickly approaching, and we're thinking of putting together a regular training session for 8-12 players on Fridays once school has started. This training will be free of charge, but the limited slots means it's first-come first-served. For more information, or to sign up for the listserv and receive future notices from our club, email uazbadminton@gmail.com.
Cheers

Unfortunately, due to the sheer amount of mostly inappropriate spam, I've had to take down the guestbook. If you like the website or would like more information about our club, feel free to email us!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since the last update. Just a reminder that summer hours are Mondays 7-10PM, and Fridays 6-9PM. Also, pictures from the latest SmashBash tournament in Phoenix are uploaded, so feel free to check them out.

The Grand Canyon State Games are coming up. Badminton will play on June 20th at Independence High School in Phoenix. There will be many doubles divisions, as well as singles. Sign up by June 6th to avoid a late fee. For more information/registration, visit the Arizona Badminton Club website.

Also, our webmaster Shantanu Soman and ex-presidents Yingying Kumar and Jeremy Chen are leaving, so please join me in thanking them for their services to the club, and we wish them well in the future. Incidentally, we are looking for a new webmaster to resume Shantanu's duties. If you are interested, let me know.
