The Winterthur Expat Meetup Group

Welcome to the Winterthur Badminton Meetup! 🏸👊😉🍻

We’re an international group created for badminton fans in and around Winterthur. Open to Expats and Swiss folks who want to train and socialise with fellow ‘badmintonists’. Or perhaps you’d like to learn the sport and meet new people? Whether doing it for fun or fitness, the idea is to enjoy and have a great (kickass) midweek. And everyone is welcome to join us for a postgame drink or two! See yah! 😊

Important: We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play. That means dropping out if you won’t make it to the game by updating your RSVP.

Keep in mind:

RSVPs close at 21:00 two days before the event to give others enough time to plan. Anyone on the RSVP list who did not show up at the event is considered a "no-show".

No-shows will still have to pay the shared cost of the court and shuttles. We keep track of no-shows and deprioritise them in future games.

Please try your best to pay on the same day by Twint or in cash. With Twint, write in the comment the date and your name for reference.

Cost will be around 12-20 CHF, depending on the amount of players joining and if we have to rent 1 or 2 courts.

Note: If it's your first time joining, please send me a message for more details and to confirm your spot in the game. Otherwise, regular players will be given priority.

Cheers,
Elias

Thursday Night Football is back!
Our decade-long tradition of playing Thursday night games continues at Turnhalle Lind Nord in Winterthur!

Open to all skill levels, newcomers, as well as regular players.

The cost will be CHF 10 per game or there is the option to pay for the whole year. The attendance is limited to 12 players, if the meetup list is full then please join the waitlist as we regularly have people dropping out the day of the event.

Parking
There is no parking at Lind Nord, however there is paid parking at Museumplatz 3 or Kreuzstrasse 13, both of which are about 2 min walking distance

No-shows
We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play, and that means dropping out if you know that you won't play. You are responsible for keeping your RSVP up-to-date, not the organisers. Our no-show rules:

• -No-shows will pay the regular fee for that game (even if they already paid for the season) plus the fees for those that were on the waitlist (so x times the regular fee). This way, the people in the waitlist will play a future game for free, as a small consolation present.
• -No-shows might loose their place to those in the waitlist the next time they sign up when there is a waitlist
• -No-show cutoff time is 2 hours before event start, to give others enough time to plan in advance. So even if you cancel after 18:30, if someone could not play because of you, you are still considered a no-show

IMPORTANT: If its your first time please also send me a message for more details. If I do not hear from you to confirm this, you might be taken off the confirmed list to make room for regulars & prevent no-shows.

If you are coming and using the changing facilities please arrive in time to do so.

Cheers,
