Crossminton - Hackerspace Picnic in Da'an Park

[Gergely Imreh]

Hi everyone,

Earlier this week I had a chat in the Hackerspace with a guy who's doing a relatively new sport, called crossminton. It's an outdoor cross between tennis and badminton, created about 15 years ago in Europe. 

Thought it would be fun to try it out, we are pretty experimental folks.

Have set up an event for some games and picnic for next weekend, Jul 2 Saturday afternoon, from 3:30pm till around 7pm sunset time. The Facebook event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/521633564694693/ More detail (e.g. the exact meeting place at the park) will come later.

Here's what Fugu, the organizer was saying about it:

"""

Let`s all get together outdoor and enjoy people, space and a new sport invention. 

There is a new kid on the block of racket sports in Taiwan: Crossminton!

It is a hybrid combining juicy feature of other racket sports: dynamic like tennis, strategic like squash and easy like badminton.
Check it out and maybe you will discover your new fav! All you need are sporty shoes!
Bring also some snacks, drinks and blankets to seat on.

Equipment (rackets, speeders, court tapes) will be provided.
We start around 3:30pm and stay until sunset around 7pm.

Organized together with 快速羽球台灣 Crossminton Taiwan
