UA closure – no badminton

Posted on by

Unfortunately, there will be a basketball tournament all this weekend
(Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in both the North and South Gym, so we
will not have any space or time to play.  Sorry for the relatively
short notice.  Now go out and have a life outside badminton.

Also, sign up for our tournament on 3/23!!  A reminder that it is
round-robin, so there are at least 3 games guaranteed, plus
snacks/fruit/Gatorade/shuttles/lunch will all be provided with the
fee.  Go to our website at www.uazbadminton.com for more info or to
find the registration form.

Cheers,
Zow
