Title: Bash at the Broxtowe Hosted by Rob Yong Post by: MPOWER on August 19, 2006, 01:52:55 AM well what can i say.
Thanks to the staff at the Broxtowe and tonights helpers behind the bar. A fantastic night for all with the best buffet you can imagine. The Poker world is full of good people and it was fantastic for me to introduce Mrs M to the people of the poker I talk about. Many thanks to Rob for a special night. Regards M Title: A big thank you to Rob Yong! Post by: tikay on August 19, 2006, 02:16:35 AM I have been offline 36 hours - something came up - & likely to be offline for another 24 hours at least, so apologies for all the unanswered e-Mails & PM's. But I just wanted to thank Rob for the "do" he gave tonight at his boozer, the Browxtowe Inn. He pledged to double whatever the Bar Bill was & donate it to his splendid Charity. The Bar Bill was £7,000 (and it was a free bar all night!), so thats £14,000, plus the Raffle raised another £2,000, so £16,000 was raised in all. Top stuff, Rob. Who was there? Hard to remember everyone, but I recall seeing.... Rob Yong - obviously. Nick Smithers Whiten. Lost weight, hair had a makeover. Chubbs Nowab, & his wife - wow, she is beautiful. ActionJack & his good lady. ActionJack has got himself a nice little beer belly. Simon Aces Trumper, looking well, & Mathilde, looking even weller. Nightfly, lost weight, shorter hair, well chilled out, & Mrs Nightfly, radiant. Yogi, laid back as ever. Clearly been eating well. Lord Wernick Claire, & puppies. Dave El blondie Colclough, unbowed by his Vegas trip, but still out of form, suffered another huge outdraw in Brighton this week. Rhowena, looking superb. Enjoys a wee dram or two, does Rhow. Thewy, wearing a pair of old canoes and an unironed shirt. Richard Gryko. Insist on calling me Gramps. Don''t like him. Well OK, just a bit. Flew the flag so bravely in Vegas, & playing Gutshot next week. Carlo Citrone, in a well-cut suit, sauve as you like. Colchester Kev, serving behind the bar. One for you, two for me, one for you...... Chili, fresh from a wonder comeback in Sheffield, & £4,4000 better off. Mum was there, too. Michael "don't call me Bepe" Greco. Jonathan "Alright Jack" Raab. One of poker's nicest & most genuine men. Tight End, having a well-deserved night off from APAT & blonde. Charmaine. Swoon...... Payl M3Boy Garnham, just home from Vegas. Ginger "Jane", how sweet is she? Flushy, drinking Babycham. Kevin O'Connell & the delicious Leana. Paul King & Mrs King, the latter looking stunning. Kim Costa, & his lovely wife. Wonble Steve Read John "MPower" & Sarah - Sarah is not at all how I expected her to be, she is truly lovely. Dubai Barry "Vinni" Neville - doorman, in his full Doorman Gear. Does the job well. Bainn (Christion) & Harmony 26 (Helen) who gave me two lovely gifts. A presentation pack of £2 x 2 coins with Brunel on one side - my new Card Marker. And a badge "APATriot" (A Patriot!). What a great couple. Bainn cuts a real dashing figure in bandana & full ZZ Top beardy job. Adam M & his young wife. Rumit, the slimmed down & so unlucky at Luton fella. Devilfish, in a somewhat unusual jacket. To all those I forgot, well I'm sorry, this is the thing with advancing years, I can't remember who I forgot. But a BIG thank you to Rob, & my best wishes to all at Dusk 'til Dawn. blonde & DtD will be working closely together for a very long time, I promise, watch this space. OK, gotta go, off to Brighton midday tomorrow, & need some zzz's. Title: Re: A big thank you to Rob Yong!

Ive never had so much fun, It was hard work, but the perks of getting all the women to kiss me before i took their orders was worth it :) I wasnt sure where i was when i woke up this morning, so I must have had a good night LOL.
