Title: Positively your LAST CHANCE for a seat in the William Hill Grand Prix......
Post by: tikay on September 25, 2006, 02:45:50 PM
....is this Wednesday, at The Broadway, in Birmingham.

I think seats will be limited to 100, & around 50 had been sold when I was there over the weekend.

425 will be there, the full works.

Thewy, BadGirl & Smoky will be schmoozing, too, & the Chillster will try & do a mini-Live Update, though the Voda-connection there is well iffy.

Jim Reid, Dave Lloyd, The Fish Woodley & The Mega Fish John McGrane (Cupcake) will be playing, as well as some proper players.

This is absolutely the last chance to get a seat. The event proper has about £150,000 added - we gotta support Comps where the Sponsors really DO add something, other than their name.

See you there, I hope. Dinner is on Thewy. But don't tell him.....

Correctamondo.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the qualifier at The Sportsman made about £27,000, from 80 runners.

3,000 starting points, 30 minute clock, rebuys for first 3 levels. Starts at 25-50. Identical to Aspers, Newcastle - I think it's in bobby1's Diary piece.

By mid-afternoon yesterday (Tuesday) 73 seats had been sold. So early arrivers today should be OK, as capacity has been upped to 120.

The fulll WH Team will be there - Thewy, BadGirl, Smokin Steve, the 425 Crew, Chili on Mini-Update duties, even, it's rumoured, (fanfare) Ariston.

How can you resist?

really gutted i didnt get to play any sats for this, after all the good things i heard about the event last year and watching a little of it myslef. All the online sats were at bad times for me, and some of the live ones seemed too far to travel just for a sattelite. Good luck to all blondes trying to win a seat, :-)
