I am a smoker, but I don't agree with smoking at the poker tables, although I do it if its allowed (yes - I am a hypocrite). There have been many debates on smoking in poker, but they are fast becoming irrelevant with the new anti-smoking laws coming into effect in July 2007. However, you can't ignore the fact that a large % of poker players do smoke, I would guess as high as 40%, and they are the customers. Dusk Till Dawn will have a dedicated enclosed outside smoking area which will be accessed through the main bar, there will also be some shelter in case it rains. To get planning permission for this has been an absolute nightmare (like most of things with this venture). We are going to actually have to pay extra on the lease to rent the extra space, but it looks like we are finally there with the legals. I think this will give us an advantage over other venues and avoid having loads of people standing at the club entrance chuffing away!

Just got back from Tenerife yesterday. Me and Nick had gone out there to sort some paperwork out on a property business venture that we had set up out there, like most of our "get rich quick" schemes it's gone a bit Pete Tong and we are looking to get out without too much damage!

With the recent flurry of activity in recruiting more people into DTD, I've been busy drawing up contracts and arranging meetings. Its very important that everyone who had joined DTD understands exactly what is expected of them, and exactly what they will receive in return. I like to get things crystal clear so there can be no misunderstandings later on down the line, and to ensure that everyone knows what eachother are responsible for.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but not a lot has changed. I'm still waiting for the final gaming board hearing, and we are about the commence works on the club. Steve Warmsley has been helping Nick out with some of the works schedule and the necessary health and safety issues etc.
