Im considering a visit to our first poker dedicated venue in nottingham sometime over the next 8-12 weeks.
Im in south yorkshire so its a quick journey for me on the train.
Anybody fancy meeting up to pwn some fish?
Also, has anybody been yet?

DTD is just a short trip up the M1 for me. Home games aside I am still a live poker virgin and I wanna pop my cherry.

Holla, i'd be up for it. West yorkshire for me, i'd have no idea how to get there tho tbh..
Just looked @ the site, looks decent.. although a £100 tourney is a bit much for me 
Defo be up for playing some £100NL or the £50 tourney.

Gonna x-post this to the commune since this hasn't got many views.
Looks like we've got 6 so far which is cool.
Ill only be able to do a Saturday really, although Friday isn't much of a problem.

Cheers for the xpost taxi. I am definately there whenever, although I'd be happiest going on a Thurs for the £50 tourney so I'm not too horrifically under-rolled!

I concur. Thursday 24th January 2008 or any following Thursday will work best for me, as I'd need time to book a hotel room and all that shit if I were to go (long trek up from Kent).

Ok then we need a date to set.
Im busy (well im supposed to be anyway) at work all January, so all ill need to do is book the weekend off.
From what i understand, theres a travel lodge nearby that we can book into so hotels should be fine.

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, you must register online before you visit the club, they wont let you register on the door.

Hold the phone a second. After deciding it is realistic that I can do this, I had a look at my diary, and I have an exam on Weds 23rd Jan, and Fri 25th Jan, which kinda makes 24th Jan out of the question to go to Nottingham, as these are exams I intend to pass 
I am definitely free on Thurs 31st Jan though.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Assuming we stay there till it closes at 6, I could probably get a train heading towards Kent then, and just sleep on the train or something.

As mentioned above don't forget to pre-register online. Less than two weeks now!
What sort of crowd are you lot then anyway? Will I be mixing with a bunch of degenerate students on the piss or a more mature group who will discuss the evenings hands in the bar over cheese and wine?
