In an effort to ensure equitable distribution and efficient usage of new badminton shuttles, IBC will be distributing new badminton shuttles to courts instead of individuals.
Effective Friday, December 2, 2016, each court will have a “game shuttle” basket attached to an adjacent post. At approximately 8pm and 9pm, a new shuttle will be placed in the game shuttle basket on each court. The shuttle(s) within the game shuttle baskets are reserved for their respective courts and for game play. Please return them to the game shuttle basket after use. Please do not remove them from the court.
Warm up and used shuttles will still be available for use at the cabinet near the entrance of the gym.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with any of the IBC executives.
The fee is $8 and the participants will be asked to sign a waiver.
Please ensure that you read through IBC’s Rules & Etiquette and understand the Court Waiting System.
PRIOR TO entering the gymnasium, drop-ins MUST submit their $8 drop-in fee upon arrival.
IBC will impose a cap of maximum 6 drop-ins per play night. Please refer to IBC play schedule. IBC reserves the right to limit drop-ins at any time.
It’s that time of year again, NAIT’s Annual Christmas Tournament!
This year we’ve made minor changes to the format and events of the tournament based on previous year’s feedback.
Thank you for your continued support and we hope to have your club members come out for some great competition!
Happy Holidays

Please note that Nov 5 free play was cancelled, due to City’s booking change.
The following play sessions at W.P. Wagner High School have been set aside for the EDBA 55+ Free Play program for the remainder of 2016:
1. Sunday, Oct 30, Noon to 2 p.m.
2. Saturdays, Nov 19 and Dec 3, 2 to 4 p.m.
Again these sessions are open to the public and not just EDBA members. Please let your members know and feel free to pass this on to other interested parties.
Many thanks to John Lee for his time and effort continuing to supervise and promote the 55+ Free Play Program.

We’ve double-checked with EDBA and they’ve checked with the school… I have been told that WP Wagner is available for IBC this Friday, September 9, 2016.
For those who ended up at the school yesterday, and for those who wanted to play, please accept the City’s apology for not notifying us on time.
Best Regards,
Jenny
