Wednesday members Club night badminton high intermediate @ 4UBC 8-10pm 4 courts
4u Badminton Club is a sociable group who enjoy badminton at an higher intermediate level.
A reasonable standard of play is expected: guests should be regular players with a few years’ experience – no beginners, please. We do have regular members down and meetup spots are limted. Winter league begins September and you can be a guest for 3 sessions for trialing out to play at the club before requiring to join as a member.
Join us for two hours of friendly, competitive badminton with like-minded enthusiasts. We use four courts, but even so we need to limit numbers so that everybody gets a fair number of games. We play from 8 to 10pm, water fountain and toilets and changing rooms on site.
The cost of £12 per two-hour session includes feather shuttles. You can pay in cash at the session, or via bank transfer:
• Account name: Edward cheng
• Account number: 30786473
• Sort code: 60-83-71
Our commitment is to ensure that you have an enjoyable evening. However, since we are a non- profit club with tight finances, we expect that once you RSVP you commit yourself to play. You may cancel up to 24 hours before the the session to avoid any attendance charge and to allow other people on the wait list to play. If you do not show without notice we reserve the right to charge a full non-attendance fee if you come again and persistent offenders may be blocked from our club. So please be thoughtful and let us know in good time if you cannot attend.
Entrance is via an intercom gate located at the back of the school see photo.

NSLondon Apple Logo Run
Event details coming soon! 🏃
This will be a run around Mayfair/Marylebone inspired by Apple Fitness+ Trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm who (in a post on X shared by Joz) ran the same area making the form of the Apple logo outline on Strava. We'll be looking to do something similar but as a group running at a pace where we don't drop anyone (unless enough people turn up to split into groups).
Please bring appropriate clothing and footwear, and note this may be for more experienced members of the community that are already able to run.
We’d love to see first-timers! All attendees must follow our [code of conduct](https://nslondon.com/coc).
Probably meet for 11am somewhere on route, then starting maybe 5/10 mins later. The run might take us an hour depending on how busy some areas are, for example Oxford Street (!) and we're not expecting any personal bests either. We'll probably hang around for a coffee at a nearby coffee shop – feel free to attend for this portion, only the run, or both! More details coming soon.
The weather seems favourable so far – high of 12°C and low of 5°C with Cloudy conditions, but this could change without warning.
This is Joz's post: [https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246](https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246)

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
