Everything has been a bit woolly as without the premises, I'd have been wasting everyone's time and I've sort of done a lot of work but got nothing to show for it at the moment. Also, I was pretty ignorant about the gaming laws which took up a lot of time listening to so many different interpretations.
Anyway, I need to do a proper project plan now, like I used to do when I was working in my recruitment business. I'm playing the £1,500 in Walsall tomorrow so I'll do it on Sunday after I bust out on Saturday. When I play poker I'm pretty reckless/useless, but when it comes to business, I'm the opposite for some reason.
Today I've had a meeting with our IT Manager, Pete Langley, who has been recruited to head up systems side of the business, he's been full time for 3 weeks and is working on a specification for the club. Me and Nick "the Shrew" have also ran through the refurbishment specification of the club which I had orginally costed out at about £500,000, but it looks like I may have not budgeted enough. We've arranged for an architect to redraw the plans next Tuesday so we'll know more then. Nick runs my property business and has experience of all this type if thing.
Two web sites contacted me today, one to do an interview about the club, and the other to ask me about the incident at Notts Gala on Monday. I hope it doesn't look like I have been slagging off Notts to benefit the poker club venture.
