Redmond Active & Social Group

Casual badminton session at Bellevue Badminton Club(Redmond).

Beginner to intermediate friendly, but all skill levels are welcome.

The goal is to play regularly, improve, and meet people in a relaxed setting.

• Saturday : Timing 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
• 1 court reserved for 1 hour
• Doubles games with player rotation
• Limited to 4–6 players for smooth games

Please bring your own racket if possible.
Non-marking indoor court shoes are required by the facility. Rental shoes are also available at the club.

Feel free to join even if you’re a beginner — this is a casual and low-pressure group.

Cost Breakdown:

A 1-hour court reservation at Bellevue Badminton Club typically costs around $45 total for member bookings.

Non-members (guests) may also need to pay an additional BBC guest fee when checking in (usually around $8 per guest).

The total cost is shared among attendees, so the final amount per person depends on:
• number of players joining
• how many players are BBC members vs guests

Typical cost examples:
• 4 players → usually around $15–20/person
• 5–6 players → usually around $10–15/person

I’ll usually confirm and book the court once enough players join so the cost stays reasonable for everyone.

Thinking of checking out the Washington State Fair tomorrow afternoon. Planning to meet around 3 PM, walk around the fair, try some food, check out the exhibits, games/rides, and just see where the afternoon goes.
📍 Washington State Fair, Puyallup
🕑 Meet: 3:00 PM
🎟️ Tickets: Everyone can get their own admission ticket. If enough people confirm, we can also check whether a bundle/group option makes more sense and decide based on the final group.
🚗 Carpool: We can coordinate depending on who joins. I’ll be starting from Redmond, so happy to coordinate with anyone along the way.
Pretty casual plan , meet some new people, and enjoy the fair together.
