Looks like a good weekend schedule and great structure for the comps

We'll be running online sats from April onwards

being held in Tramore, a lovely seaside town right on the Southern tip of Ireland (Waterford airport and South!)


Anyone interested in an blonde away-day weekend across the Irish Sea?

I'll be there and looking forward to it!  Shocker, huh?   rotflmfao

If anyone needs help planning the trip, give me a shout and I'll do what I can to sort you out.

Will the online sats be for a package or seat only, tighty? (Clue..package good!..seat only...erm..slightly less good)

up to His un-royal Highness, Colchester Kev to sort that

Any suggestions gratefully received I am sure

Un Royal Lowness if you please.

Places will only be held for those who qualify on line.  This is because of the cancellation of teams for this weekends event which has cost Blonde a lot of money.

I'll play the sats no matter what...a full package would be much appreciated though as it eases the pressures of us normal working folk a bit for me.

550 ME..sHotel 100 a night (?) for 4 or five nights and 400 for flights (euro's for all) so a 1300£ (roundabout 1700 euro's these days?) would cover it....a 250$ sat would give one in 10 people a seat.. (justabout) and you could run a few 22$ freezeout sats to that.

That would be my idea of ideal but it might of course not suit everybody.

Does this replace the Open scheduled for March (which I was hoping to go over for), or is it in addition?  If the latter, are there going to be any sats for the March event?

replaces

Beat me to it   rotflmfao

boo :(  Luckily I hadn't booked flights :)

Might want to make this a bit clearer.

good point, ty

the schedule was changed recently

capacity 200, split over two day ones

I've signed up and will be hoping to get a round of golf in at the championship course which Tramore boasts too....

I would love to sign up with you Ralph, you and I rub along nicely together, (Ignore the plebes) but I have never planned that far ahead in my life and anyway, I'm about as reliable as a 14 year old babysitter with a bottle of cider and a boyfriend.

Have signed up also.

Ralph, golf sounds good to me too

Is this the same weekend as the Dublin APAT event?

yes Andrew, it is

Just checked the list of registered players and it's up to 181 of the 200 seats now.   

I beleive Dublin APAT is now being shifted a week hence to avoid the clash...

a week which way & do we know the venue yet?

a week later I believe, and no venue announced yet

As of today the agreement between blonde Poker and Big Slick events has been terminated. This is an amicable and mutual decision.

blonde Poker will not now be associated with the June event, or subsequent events.

I think we had two players signed up to Tramore in June, M3Boy and Karabiner. Just to emphasise that as far as both blonde and Big Slick are concerned this players can travel and play as planned and will be welcome at the event.

Still going here

Not chased away with burning sticks and pitchforks then?

I'm going to give this a miss now.

Just me then.

:)

Scrap that

I cannot go now - other engagements.

Shame cos I really enjoyed this fessie last year.

There's always the Irish APAT event, same weekend at the Fitz  ;)

im going wth 5 mates seem like a great tourney ru saying its not worth going now we just booked hotel and flights

it will be a great tourney, as usual. I thoroughly recommend Big Slick's tournaments, superbly run.

Just blonde Poker is no longer involved with it thats all.

Sorry to see the agreement ended. I thought Blonde added a great deal to the festivals.

Hope to see you guys back sometime in the future.

I would like thank Richard and Kev and the crew at blonde , We hope that we can do more things in the future .
Blonde and Big Slick have agreed to part ways as Big Slick will now go independent and hope we can run a blonde event
again in the future we want to be able to work with many sponsors throughout the year and thank you to Richard Prew
who wished us well in this venture .

Blondepoker where i play myself still and will do so is a superb community and have the best updates in europe
I also wish Blonde the best of luck in the future and im sure they will grow bigger and bigger

To all players travelling the event will be no different and hope to see u there

Why no update from blonde on this? or have I missed a thread

Go back a page or two on this thread.

see a little earlier in the thread. I posted on the change last week

ok thanks, however to me this was the best thing about blonde was the transfer in to the Irish Republic, honestly u would be suprised at the number of Irish poker players who follow the blonde updates, to me an oppertuinity missed, I do not have full details though, shame

I'm one of these!


anyways like I said earlier, sad to see its over. But hope to see Blonde back in Ireland again...
