Title: ICHUC Scarbrough Post by: Royal Flush on October 03, 2006, 03:36:34 PM I just want to say thanks to evreyone involved. Davey and Angie for managing to salvage the event, the staff at the Opera house casino (especially Honi for amusing Kev all weekend) and the players, alll 11 of the GB team.....all 10 of the Ireland team ;whistle;
It was a great weekend and i cant wait for the 4 Nations next month! Title: Re: ICHUC Scarbrough Post by: Rod Paradise on October 03, 2006, 03:53:00 PM I've got to echo Flushy's thanks (without the ;ifm; ;) ).
Just to get the event on after the last minute complications was a challenge, for it to be so fun and well organised was a prodigious feat. I was VERY impressed with the Opera House Casino & big thanks to Gary & Julie for putting up with us and running some great competitions. A big thanks to all the lovely valets, every other casino should send theirs there to see how service with a smile is done. Lastly a big thanks to both teams, especially Booder the breakfast maker! Title: Re: ICHUC Scarbrough Post by: Colchester Kev on October 03, 2006, 04:00:31 PM I am in love with Honi ... she is the worlds clumsiest valet ... she would drop an ashtray or a glass every trip.... but my god she was gorgeous !! as was Julie from the cardroom.. here she is with Laz and Rod .... not sure what Laz is doing...the Palestine!!!

Title: Re: ICHUC Scarbrough Post by: luckyblind on October 04, 2006, 03:16:43 AM It was a great weekend, I had to come back and run an all day tournie on the Sunday so have been a tad knackered. Well played to Team GB, they took their defeat graciously and looked after us well.
Rob & Len creamed the £20 rebuy on the Friday and there was money to be had in the cash games, staff at the casino were great, not sure they knew what hit them when we landed. Luckily they too Friday's 'incident' in good heart and ran the tournie well. If any of you live near Scarborough get uo there for the cash game, I have seen plenty of easy ones living where I do but the locals here (apart from tanner) were soooo bad. |
